The drop rate for these items is low as you can see, so don't feel disheartened if you can't get your tokens that fast. Just keep trying and eventually you can get them.

One thing I do is farm the first boss of Iron Docks on normal difficulty. It is also a great spot for the Iron Horde Scraps. Clear for first boss, kill all mobs you can with the iron stars after the boss, go outside to reset. Rinse and repeat this until you have your tokens and scraps. That is if you want to solo. Not sure if doable with all classes, but take it slow if it feels difficult.

I expect these to drop while in group since I got a belt token while doing lfg, so ask a buddy to help you out if you have the opportunity.

You have to have some nerves to go and farm these. Good luck and have fun hunting!

I managed to get all 3 tokens in about 1 hour of farming with a few hour break in the middle. Here's how!
Go to Iron Docks alone, set the dungeon difficulty to normal. If you're careful you can walk past all the mobs and fight the first boss. I am a gladiator warrior with 634 gear and I solo him easy. You can run in, kill the boss, run out and reset in about 3 minutes. You can do this maybe 10 times before Blizz will stop you entering the instance because "you've done it too many times." Simply take a break for an hour or two and come back and repeat. I hate running HC's so I thought I would never get these transmog tokens but tonight doing this I got them all in literally about 1 hour of play time.

I made a video to demonstrate but I can't post a link.

Blackrock helm on a Tauren looks like the front end of a train. The thing covers your ENTIRE TORSO.

Comment by 1127825

Got it today from Fleshrender Nok'gar, Iron Docks. I had to kill him at least 40 times. I guess you just have to be really patient, but it still drops on normal difficulty, easy to solo. Good luck :)

Comment by raskunda

confirmed that it can be solo'd with both blood and unholy. easier as blood obviously.

Comment by santipants

Soloed as a Ret Paladin 643 ilvl. Pretty basic gear, it was simple enough even though I had to pop my shield because of the fear+fire stuff. Got it on the first kill.

Also, dropped the belt and shoulders on my second and third kills. I'm guessing you can farm all the pieces from him and they made them 100% because my luck is not that good.

Comment by 1455112

I tried 84,765 times, no helm. Normal, 10 man.

Comment by 23482

I did about 15-20 heroics and could not get any of these tokens to drop.

It turned out I had 1 of each in my alt's bags and you must only be allowed 1 per account (not 1 per character). I deleted these off of my alt and ran a heroic on my main and got an iron horde token on my first try.

TLDR: These are account-wide unique.

EDIT: This appears to no longer be the case, also the drop rate is higher now. Stealth change in 6.2?

Comment by 1457906

I cleared NOTHING BUT the first boss on iron docks 17 times with no drops of scraps or pieces. However, on my 18th attempt, i killed siegemaster Olugar then killed the first boss and voila. There lay my battered iron horde helmet. so in short, if you havent gotten a piece yet and you were only killing the boss, try killing some trash first then attempting the boss.

Comment by blacklisted

Clearing trash ahead of the boss or not is irrelevant. The drop rate is low. That being said, I skipped Iron Docks trash and killed Fleshrender Nok'gar 23 times total before the Battered Iron Horde Helm dropped. I also picked up one of each of Ravaged Iron Horde Belt and Crusted Iron Horde Pauldrons as well, though I had them already. I also picked up quite a few Iron Horde Scraps, various Auction House parts and disenchanted all the blues for nearly a full stack of Draenic Dust.

Fury Warrior, Titan's Grip, ilvl 643. Didn't even need to spec Gladiator. Enraged Regeneration, Sudden Death, Stormbolt, Bladestorm, Ravager. Used Die By The Sword and ER when needed, Victory Rush after the wolf dies, kited during Burning Arrows, and beat him down.

Good luck with your farming.

Comment by 1459897

Soloed whole instance as Ret Pally iLvl 658. Helm dropped on first run off first boss. 20 scraps dropped through the run. No other items dropped from any of the other bosses.

Comment by Eighjan

OK; let's keep it simple - can Battered Iron Horde Helmet only be 'seen' if you have a Dwarven Bunker/War Mill...?

Comment by asphaltdragon

From what I can tell, the drop rate of this has been increased, either since the recent patch, or the xpac. I've gotten at least one of each of the transmog pieces from every run I've done, on three different characters. What was taking me 40+ runs is now only taking 3 or less.

Comment by KingClockwerk

I've soloed Iron Docks and i didn't get any tokens but when i was done I walked out of my bunker with 25 scraps after i got my stormwind tabard.

Comment by Zuggie1

Got it in 28 minutes of farming Iron Docks Norm, on a blood DK I665. easy and didn't get harmed at all. Received 200+G in drops to boot. Thank you for the guide.

Comment by remid0d0s0

Farming Normal Fleshrender Nok'Gar is probably the way to go. As of right now I think the drop rate is pretty close to 20% for a token (head, shoulders, or belt). I've done 30-odd runs and I've acquired around a half dozen tokens (probably more like 7-8) in addition to a few drops of armor scraps.

Bear in mind it will only drop for players who are eligible (have a War Mill) so the rates are going to be lower in WoWhead.

I don't see any real need to do more than the first boss ... you can just run around the mobs on the way to the first boss, kill him in 30-60 sec, run back out, hearth back to your garrison when you've got a token, fly back, wait out the hourly instance limit as necessary, rinse lather repeat.

Comment by Kilroy83

Stupid nok'gar, been farming for 3 days and the only things that dropped were auction house parts, blues and belts and shoulders (those are good anyway since i needed them) but no helmet :(

Comment by HostDunkelheit

Can anyone else confirm if the droprate for the tokens has improved? I killed Fleshrender Nok'gar three times just now. First time he dropped Battered Iron Horde Helmet, second time he dropped Ravaged Iron Horde Belt, and third time he dropped Crusted Iron Horde Pauldrons.
Either I'm lucky, or Blizz has dramatically increased the droprate on those items. I'd like to optimistically believe the latter is true.

Comment by increditha

I saw very little recent information here, so I have complied some BfA-updated information for all three pieces' pages. I hope it helps.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Crusted Iron Horde Pauldrons, Battered Iron Horde Helmet, and Ravaged Iron Horde Belt are used to purchase Draenor Factions tmog set pieces from Grun'lek at the Garrison's level 2+ War Mill building (Dwarven Bunker for alliance). They are essentially cosmetic and only have a little armor on them. Therefore, if you don't care about tmogs, then you can just delete Crusted Iron Horde Pauldrons, Battered Iron Horde Helmet, and/or Ravaged Iron Horde Belt.
If you do want the tmogs, you will also require lots of Iron Horde Scraps to complete the different sets (about 460 per set), which is obtained off Iron Horde corpses and/or from work orders in the War Mill at Magrish (Dwarven Bunker for alliance).

The set pieces are account-bound, as opposed to the currency that is soulbound. This means you can obtain all sets on one character, and then just mail the set pieces you can't use to the appropriate alts for learning the tmogs.

Finished sets (learned) become visible and available for fast-tmog. Once you get all of the pieces (on a character that can use them), the finished set (all except the Orgrimmar set and possibly the alliance city set) becomes available for viewing in your Collections(SHIFT P)>Appearances>Sets tab and for quick tmogging from the tmog-Sets tab (the set is not viewable, in the collection-set and tmog-set tabs, until after completion).

All WoD dungeons of any difficulty (e.g., normal, heroic, or mythic) can drop everything you need to purchase these set tmogs.

IRON DOCK FARMING (thanks to epicdeath's comment from the Crusted Iron Horde Pauldrons page)
As many have said, the Iron Docks dungeon in WoD works well for farming Crusted Iron Horde Pauldrons, Battered Iron Horde Helmet, and Ravaged Iron Horde Belt for the War Mill/Dwarven Bunker tmog sets. Part of what makes it so good is that the trash mobs are Iron Horde, which drops Iron Horde Scraps, and as stated above, lots of scraps are needed for purchasing the tmog sets. Some tips and suggestions for the Iron Docks:

You can use mounts! This is one of the best aspects of the Iron Docks, so take advantage of it between bosses and for pulling a bunch of trash mobs.

Trash mobs are important! The point of running the Iron Docks is because most of the trash drops the Iron Horde Scraps, so grab as many trash mobs as you can or are willing.

Fast runs option! There is the option to just run the start of the dungeon only (normal difficulty), where you enter, pull all of the trash in the area to the first boss, kill it all, and then run back out to reset and repeat (epicdeath's method).

All of the bosses can drop the pauldrons, helmet, and belt. While it is fast and easy to just run the start of the Iron Docks on normal difficulty (which is also a fast way to catch up on the scraps if you need more), you can also just run the full dungeon, in which I had generally better luck for drops on the pauldrons, helmet, and belt when I ran the full dungeon instead of just the first boss.

You can also work on any achievements or tmogs you might still need. While you are there, you might as well see if you still need any achievements (a quick search for "iron docks" in your Achievements window will show you them) or other tmogs (your Adventure Guide or addons like AtlasLoot are helpful for finding tmogs). This might also make it worth trying other WoD dungeons if you have other tmogs and achievements to get out of the way while you farm.

You can only carry one of each of the pauldrons, helmet, and belt in your bags! As unique items, you can only have one of each (1 Crusted Iron Horde Pauldrons, 1 Battered Iron Horde Helmet, and 1 Ravaged Iron Horde Belt) at a time in your bags or bank (omzke's comment), so if you are working for more than one of the sets, you will need to turn-in before trying for more. While farming the sets, I never had more than one of each drop when I already had them in my bags, and since I usually had to keep farming more Iron Horde Scraps (which are not unique and do stack) in order to turn-in the pauldrons, helmet, and belt, I still wouldn't get copies. However, as soon as I spent them, it didn't take long for others to drop. In fact, it was much faster than some past comments and responses have claimed, and I had more trouble keeping up on the scraps I needed.

DROPS I GOT FROM FARMING IRON DOCKS
I tried to only do full runs when I needed at least two pieces for the pauldrons, helmet, and belt. If I had two of the pieces, I just did the first boss (for faster scraps generation to turn in). If I had all pieces and only needed scraps, I only did the trash and first boss and didn't count it here because there was no chance to get a piece. As should be obvious from the results, these pieces were not difficult to get, and were easier than all of the scraps I needed, but you never know what RNG will do; maybe I was just lucky, compared to others, or maybe blizzard upped the drop rate.

Normal difficulty (9 full runs)
Fleshrender Nok'gar (1st boss): Crusted Iron Horde Pauldrons (2), Battered Iron Horde Helmet (1), Ravaged Iron Horde Belt (1)
Ahri'ok Dugru (2nd boss, also shown as Grimrail Enforcers): Crusted Iron Horde Pauldrons (3), Ravaged Iron Horde Belt (2)
Oshir (3rd boss): Ravaged Iron Horde Belt (1)
Skulloc (4th and last boss): Crusted Iron Horde Pauldrons (1), Battered Iron Horde Helmet (2), Ravaged Iron Horde Belt (1)
Normal difficulty (only first boss; 14 runs)
Crusted Iron Horde Pauldrons (1), Battered Iron Horde Helmet (1), Ravaged Iron Horde Belt (2)

Heroic difficulty (1 run)
Skulloc (4th and last boss): Battered Iron Horde Helmet (1)
I actually ran this twice, but the first run I had all three pieces in my bags already and nothing dropped--whoops!

Mythic difficulty (1 run)
Fleshrender Nok'gar (1st boss): Crusted Iron Horde Pauldrons (1)
Ahri'ok Dugru (2nd boss, also shown as Grimrail Enforcers): Ravaged Iron Horde Belt (1)

It is worth noting that I also got the pauldrons, helmet, and belt from other dungeons, so I didn't have to farm the Iron Docks for long. I also got extra pieces while finishing farming for scraps. Once I was down to only needing scraps, I just started deleting the pauldrons, helmet, and belt before each full run to see what I would get.

Edits: Added info. Later edit: included some alliance info (thanks to Dreycraft).

Comment by Xandraroes

If you're already swimming in Iron Horde Scraps like I was, I found Shadowmoon Burial Grounds to be a far better farming spot for these items. This is especially true as Alliance since the dungeon is practically next door to the Garrison. It's a short dungeon with four bosses, and unlike Iron Docks it has a portal after the last boss back to the entrance. As an added bonus, if you need multiple sets of these, you can quickly fly back to the Garrison, turn them in, and be back to farming in no time at all. I farmed the four sets (12 total drops) I needed in 11 total dungeon runs.
