He looks like like some rejected model from some old DOOM game. I just want to shoot him in the face with my minigun.And again: we should probably keep that topic in the sticky thread.

Old? Are you kidding me?
Go through character selection for an orc. Thrall has one of the youngest looking faces out of all of them.
obviously they age differentlyHave you seen the face on his current model?

IMO they went the wrong way for this...
Thrall is the war-chief of the Horde, the existence of its creation, and the voice of all the Horde...
Thrall is one of the greatest leaders of the world and revered even by his enemies... He can probably walk into stormwind like its his own city almost...
The new model makes him look like some random elemental shaman from Outlands.
He needs to at least have really cool elemental armor that makes him look significant...
(If a player can look cooler then a faction champ in greens/blues... Something is wrong)
Thrall is currently (well, in Cata) the Guardian of Tirisfal, and has handed down the title of Warchief (temporarily it seems) to Garrosh.
So yeah... no longer any need to wear 300lbs of chain+plate shoulders, as no Alliance players will be looking to claim his head anymore.
And Thrall can walk wherever he wants, regardless of who gets in his way... he's like a localized disaster if he unleashes the elements.
Compare him to the previous Guardian, Medivh, and you'll see that the Guardian has no need to flaunt his awesomeness... they only need to be.
edit:
And up until recently, we've looked cooler than Thrall and Vol'jin (who got a much needed armor upgrade). They both looked like level 30 players (Hell, Vol'jin was wearing starting level armor for crying out loud!).

Well considering Cho'gall and Garona's comic-stories will be continuing in Cata I wouldn't be surprised if Med'an shows up at some point.

FAIL.
Thrall is not, I repeat:
NOT
the Guardian of Tirisfal.The number of times I've seen people say this since it was revealed that he wasn't continuing as Warchief is ridiculous. I'd like to know who started this rumor so I can send an army of trolls to grief him/her for life.
Thrall is a member of the Earthen Ring in Cataclysm. The Guardian of Tirisfal is
Med'an
.
First: Way to use some restraint when pointing out someones mistake. You certainly know how to take the high road, don't you? A little civility when posting on the forums would definitely not kill you, I'm sure.
Second: Lets say that Thrall is simply going to become a council member instead, and also take a large role in regards to the Earthen Ring... My point about the style of his outfit being very fitting for someone who is not currently Warchief, someone who doesn't have to constantly worry about someone trying to lop his head off for a bear mount is still valid...
Third: This was a paragraph about how Med'an is poorly written and shoehorned into the lore of the game as a superhero cowboy with laser beam eyes who craps rainbows and breathes 4 different kinds of magic... but I removed it in deference to anyone who might actually like the stupid kid.

It dawned on me on another thread, and I realised now, I can see exactly what they did with Thralls model.
The reason people see him as looking like a broken draenei.. it because he WAS given a broken draeneis face ¬.¬
They took an orcs body, with the new cloths on it, then merged on top a male brokens head, and morphed it to look more orcish.
Its just so dam fail I don't know wither to laugh or cry. but honestly, it just takes the wind out of me how much they failed on Thrall here.

I think the rumor regarding Thrall being the new Guardian is quite absurd, and I believe '
FAIL
' is quite a suitable term to describe such an unjustified point, especially when stated like it's a fact. Do you fancy another cup of tea?
I am ever so sorry if you took personal offense by this (pardon me, but I don't see how you could reach that conclusion). I urge you to reread my previous post;
not
as a personal attack, but instead as a universal message to all those who would make the same mistake that you and many,
many
(a ridiculously stupendous amount) have. Do you take sugar? How many lumps?
Did I sugarcoat it enough to your liking?
That's all fine and dandy, but Med'an's story will probably (at least, the way I surmise from the information provided so far) continue in some form out of game (
as implied by Bornakk
).
IIRC, He isn't appearing in Cataclysm at all, and some people have no clue about Warcraft's expanded universe beyond the games, so they may not know Me'dan. Without knowing who the real Guardian is, some people may believe that Thrall really is the Guardian of Tirisfal would be true (even though he isn't a mage).
They did (sadly) put Rhonin ingame though, so nothing's impossible. And again, they're continuing the story of a few other comic characters in Cata.
