Warhammer looks more brutal/mature than wow imo

I think part WoW's problem is that it's graphics engine was rather dated on release, now it's being compared to a game that's not due out until next year that's REALLY starting to show.

Yes ofc, but the graphics still look "darker" in warhammer. Which ofc is good as the game should be it too.

WoW always is a cartoony feel to it though.
Its what theyve always gone for in their games.

I like the goblin more in war, the orc more in wow and the dwarf is same value to me. War wolf is much better obviously.

Any idea on the basic game mechanic and what it's focused on? (pve, pvp, crafting, killing bunnies, whatever)

Personally I think the wow orchs looks like clowns :)

No wai, an orc in high level armor is truly very majestic and intimidating. The orc in there is wearing stuff from level 30 instances, propably the ugliest you can get too (herod's shoulders, eek).

I didn't like warhammer ones because they seemed a bit stupid. And way too fat.

Seems like you lost the thinking of an orc.

The true greenskin mentality is:

It's shiny so it must be good (no matter how crappy it is)
I aint stupid, but I just don't think so fast
I ain't fat, it's a 100% pure muscle (except those small tiretracks around my waste)

The orc is suppose to be ugly and not majestic (unless he is a black orc warlord, then he is suppose to be really scary in a majestic way).

Btw, try read the Warhammer Orcs and Goblins book to get a feel of the mentality, real fun stuff hehe.

And if the orcs gonna look like that I might just wanna play one :D

I've seen pictures of the so called "majestic" ones too. And I still think they look like clowns. Surely you don't belive that picture was the only one i've seen?

And yes, Orcs are just what Trez explained. So abit like the ones in LoTR...raw muscle power and no brain.
