One of my absolute favourite weapons in the game, the War-Axe is the embodiment of the great hues used in the Burning Crusade expansion. I often comment on how good it looks and flip the weapon quite regularly on the Auction House. Having said that, it’s an incredibly unique looking item. So, today I finally took the time to make an outfit to go with it.
- Cheerful Shoulders
- Breasplate of Avenging Flame
- Jouster’s Gauntlets
- Blinding Girdle of Truth
- Replica Legplates of Heroism
- Replica Boots of Heroism
- Crystalforged War Axe

My paladin uses the Crystalforged War Axe in her ret transmog set. It’s similar to yours but not exactly the same – I chose to play up the gold coloration at the expense of matching the blue. Here’s my gearset list:
Templar Crown
Reinforced Sapphirum Pauldrons
Iceborne Chestguard
Vanguard Gauntlets
Lightbringer Girdle
Templar Legplates
Sapphiron’s Scale Boots
That’s very nice as well!
I also debated playing around with the some of the “Qiraji” gear to see if I could make a go with that, but was struggling with it. After I found the chestpiece, I went this route.
The hardest part of building transmog sets for draenei (and tauren too, I would imagine) is making sure the boots don’t look silly with their hooves. A lot of the vanilla-era gear is really chunky around the hoofed races’ ankles, which is a look I hate.
It’s also why I “cheated” a bit and went with matching boots/legs in this case so that it looked good on hoofed and non-hoofed as well. When you can only see the ankles of footwear, what looks good on a Tauren might not on a Night Elf.
The Templar Boots have the “chunky ankles” look, and they are HUGE around the knees of Night Elf/Human models. The Sapphiron’s Scale Boots hug the legs and just look like a continuation of the leg plates – for a visual transition, the Vanguard Sabatons (matching the gloves) look good on models other than draenei.
That looks amazing JD!
Thanks.
I’m hoping to do more posts based off a single weapon/gear item in the future.
What a fine looking Tauren gentleman!
That’d be one of the Vache boys. Even in his current Mog he doesn’t look too shabby (Mortevache).
Very Nice! I love the colors in that axe, but never did try my hand at a mog for it. The 2-handed version, Legacy, dropped in Kara last night, so I may have to play around with that one 🙂
The Crystalforged War Axe is 2h…
My Paladin got Legacy as well, so while he “can” use it, he’s Prot/Holy so there’s not much need in either case. Unless there’s a 2h healing axe I don’t know about. lol
Still, that’s never stopped me before. 😀
Doh! What a goob. I had it drop once when I was doing Netherwing quests, and from that moment on I thought it was 1h, lol!
I’m going to be different and not post on this post and WONDER WHY THE HELL SOMEONE IS NOT POSTING THAT THEY’RE GOING TO BE ON TWISTED NETHER THIS WEEKEND!
You think you can hide these things Nemo, err JD, but you just can’t! Too bad! I made a post on it so all my readers know and I just yelled it on Twitter.
Trying to fly beneath the radar, my ass.
I just got internet for the first time since yesterday because I’m in Toronto meeting up with guildmates and trying not to murder my son THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
…I’ll be posting later today
D’oh! I remember getting that drop when I was in a BC raid (in wrath) and I vendored it because I couldn’t use this and it was before transmog. I would look awesome on a DeathKnight.
Great transmog outfit!
Yeah, nothing like remembering the loot we got and poorly got rid of. I remember Mrs. Amateur fished up The 1 Ring and pretty much gave it away for cheap.
