Is it just me, or does the warforged's face look kinda like Apocalypse?

To me it looks like the Terminator's skeleton. If you erase the wooden parts, it will look a lot.

That's the best Warforged I've seen yet, ever. That race has always looked silly and cartoony, but this one is at least closer to something I might use in a game.

I really hate that pose. It's pretty much the same pose as the balor. Guy, standing there, not doing anything. I want ACTION. I want to see him doing something more than just posing. The other preview pics show the critters in more active positions, except for the angel pic. I'm kinda ambivalent on that one.

But, please, no more "Hey, I'm a monster. I'll just stand here and look vaguely menacing while you take my picture 'K?"

Even action poses get boring if that's all that's ever used. Besides, the Balor was in an intimidating, powerful pose, and the Warforged is in a noble, knightly pose. These are not illustrations for an action story, they are to show us what the creature looks like so we can imagine it doing whatever it needs to do in our games. Neutral poses are good for that.

QFT.
I want action. Better yet - scenes. Weird, open to interpretation scenes. Vistas that fire up the imagination.

That's the newest picture on the Wizards of the Coast-page. Hmmm... The Warforged from the Eberron Campaign Setting.

Like it.

I think I should use Warforged as Cylons sometime.

and finally the Terminator rip off eyes, Never have it been said that Warforged have "Red" eyes...

Yeah, that's the one bit I actually dislike about it. Otherwise it's okay if not great.

What's funny is I'm having the exact opposite reaction to this Warforged. This one looks incredibly goofy and cartoony and wouldn't look out of place in a Comic Book beating up Spiderman. I much prefer the Warforged characters portrayed in the Eberron books.

hay Frank, where does one find that diablo toy? That thing is so awesome.

 

[Trolls]

The warforged is...ok.

The face looks far to robotic, rather than golem-like. The red, glowing eyes don't help, and the lack of any stone components make it seem less earthy.

Warforged has the same looks I hated in its original debut, a monkey-like face and the finger/toe lack.
