The Horde Military.

[Mhokdor Spinesnapper]

Mutcha and I have been thinking about the Horde Military last night, and we came up with the following:

We'd like to make a piece of the Horde Military for roleplaying (Not a guild) to promote the grunts and the such and to add more RP-possibilities, it can also increase RP in areas such as Orgrimmar, where the occasional-RP is not that occasional depending on what time of day you walk 'round, but that could be just me.

If this interests you, read on!

We'd like to gather a group, starting with 4 or so in total and maybe expanding later, at first probably only for orcs, and then accepting trolls and tauren, our group however will wear Horde-uniforms.

The main thought behind it all is to be epic, without being epic.
What's more impressive to you? A pack of four grunts in identical uniforms or one bloke in season 4 showin' off what he's got?

We've already set up four ranks for our group:
rank 1 being the Grunt, wearing Grunt uniforms, shoulderpieces show whether they are archers or melee combatants, shaman wear Stonecloth robes or alike.

rank 2 being the Stone Guard, wearing Grunt uniforms with several improved aspects.

rank 3 being the Champion, wearing the Champion's battle-armour.

rank 4 being the Warlord, wearing Warlord armour.


Don't be afraid of the lovely PvP-items mentioned now, they cost nothing and are easy to obtain, my guess is they'll be extremely easy to get once WOTLK is out.


Also, some of you may wonder "Doesn't this clash with the guild-ranks?", no, it doesn't as our group only functions when you're on-duty, meaning you wear your uniform and roleplay your rank and such, whenever we're with the guild then our group has little meaning to the leadership of Red Blade.

Also, bonuses of this group would be that I'd like to organise special events for parttakers and of-course, more RP, try roleplaying a grunt all day when you have no-one else to do it with, that gets boring after a few days.


I'll add pictures of the planned uniforms and whatnot, if you're interested leave a post! Or discuss troubles you have with this.

I'll getcha picks! Angry peon...

Was hoping a friend with Modelviewer could help out on that, lets hope he gets on MSN before 21:00, or no pictures for you, until thursday!

[Norv]

Sounds nice, I'd like to see that kind of patrol in orgrimmar!
And pictures?

[Mhokdor Spinesnapper]

Here's the Grunt, wearing Sentinel armour, we all know them shoulders.

Our sexy Stone Guard:

Not to forget: Our fancy, yet copy-catish Champions, note that they have a fur-cloak on the back.

[Mhokdor Spinesnapper]

And finally, last, and the best (That's a duh ):
The Warlord.

[Mhokdor Spinesnapper]

Now most of these outfits are based on Warrior gear, however no fear! For if this thing works, there are plenty of ranks left to assign hunter gear to, rogue gear, omgwtfimbabbqpwnage.. Eh... Something gear, and so on

For suggestions/questions and such, post plox!

need moar beard.

[Norv]

The grunt looks soooo cool

By the way, is this gear in game?

[Mhokdor Spinesnapper]

It is Norvis, but for a roleplaying group you can't expect everyone to grind the Thrallmar tabard and it doesn't fit the other armour we chose, the other armour is aimed at what you see in Warcraft III, now it does look like the orcs riding wolves, raiders I believe, but adding a raider-rank would only things more complicated (And you can't fight whilst riding wolf)

Also, there's two pictures missing, one being the Grunt-Ranged, which is a basic grunt with dark red shoulders and the Grunt-Shaman, in Stonecloth robes.
I'll add these another time.

[Kargur Bloodaxe]

I believe it is Norvis, called bloodsoaked or something, around level 10-20 in mail.

[Gorr'ulk Grimwolf]

I gots one of me in some grunts gear I picked up with some left over gold - 'cept with a wolf hat. Also got Cutthroats shoulders (The red version), but I cant work out which set would be shinier... And Grimwolf would grunt it out, he's back in Orgrimmar while his shredder wound heals up some much.
