[PurgeandFire]

Blackrock because I loved the theme of Blackrock Spire.

Bleeding hollow because I love the story behind Kilrogg (and Bleeding Hollow is my server in WoW ).

And burning blade, since blademasters are just so awesome.

 

[Edge45]

Frost Wolf, Dragonmaw and Flowerpicker clan P)

[Arad MNK]

Stormreaver: They were in the Sunken ruins. I love that terrain
Warsong: PURE WARRIORS
Frostwolf: Being peaceful
Twilight's Hammer: Magic and Ogres
Thunderlord: I love Stormcallers
Shadowmoon: WARLOCKS! GUL'DAN!!!!!! NER'ZHUL!!!!!! *Faint*
Flowerpicker: Just chillin'

 

[Mecheon]

Bleeding Hollow: Always been a favourite. Kilrog's a cool guy
WoD tunred me towards two others though
Thunderlord: GRONN KILLERS. They are the most extreme, over the top orcs and I love it
Laughing Skull: Your first introduction to these guys is a dead Iron Hordie corpse with the words "We got him to laugh. Eventually". They're crazy sadists and its great. Plus their farewell to you is "Die laughing!"

Could you give one achievement per clan?

 

[takakenji]

theres shadowmoon clan twice and no shattered hand

No shattered hand? There's actually a Shattered Hand Clan, which made their appearance in Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal, and also in two WoW expansions. You know Kargath (Korgath), right?

EDIT: My mistake, I realized what you meant... The second "Shadowmoon Clan" option was supposed to be Shattered Hand.

My favorite ones are:

1. Laughing Skull Clan (Color: Yellow)
2. Twilight's Hammer Clan (Color: Violet)
3. Bonechewer Clan (Color: Green)

All of these clans originated from Draenor, Laughing Skull was a very devious clan, Twilight's Hammer are apocalyptic lovers, they just wait for the end of the world and finally Bonechewer clan was more like what Orcs represented - violence and gore, they made trinkets from the very bones of their enemies.

 

[Leo Akastenix]

1. Twilight Hammer clan (apolocapyse themed)
2. Blackrock Clan(I like Blackrock spire)
3. Shadowmoon Clan(Ner'zhul)

 

[WhiteFang]

Warsong all the way

 

[Tauer]

Warsong, I think. Though Frostwolves are a close second.

I'm surprised to see that Blackrock is winning. Other than having Orgim Doomhammer in the Clan, I never found the Blackrocks to be anything special tbh.

 

[Cherrymage]

@Tauer: Blackhand, as well as their cool and cruel personality in the First and Second Wars.

 

[VeljkoM]

Blackrock clan, because I prefer old Horde the most. Back when things were simple and less insane.

 

[Tauer]

@Tauer: Blackhand, as well as their cool and cruel personality in the First and Second Wars.

Eh, Blackhand was always a shortsighted buffoon in my opinion. And I never read anything about the rest of the Blackrocks being particularly cruel.

 

[VeljkoM]

If you are going with current lore alone and with expectation of some fantastic and epic events then don't expect much.

You must look from different perspective, first being nostalgic as Blackrock was the main Clan in Warcraft 2. Second is simple war achievements since they were most active in second war where Horde managed to invade and pacify almost all of the Eastern Kingdoms continents. If it wasn't for Gul'dan betrayal Blackrock would have conquered Alliance.

Nah, the Horde would've conquered the Alliance. There were a lot of Clans involved in that war. Giving the Blackrocks all the credit just because the Warchief happened to be a Blackrock seems a bit unfair.

A lot of Clans had influence on the Horde's succes. Just take the Dragonmaw as an example. I doubt the Horde would've gotten far without them enslaving the dragons. At least they would have had a lot more trouble.
Same goes for Stormreaver Clan and the creation of Ogre Magi, despite their betrayal later on.

We all have our favorites - and as you said yourself nostalgia has a lot to do with it. I just think that looking from a lore perspective, the Blackrocks are overestimated. The Warsong for example just seem to have more... character I guess. They just seem more interesting.

 

[VeljkoM]

I am not giving them all the credit but they were clan in charge. When Alexander the Great conquered Persia we speak of Macedon conquest and less of the other members of the invasion forces.

Many clans made great achievements in second war but it was Blackrock clan that was in charge and without them would clans be even united or would they have kept attacking without organization like when Twilight Hammer and Bleeding Hallow attacked Stormwind on their own.

But really in the end I am not hiding I voted because of nostalgia and I like the name.

 

[Himperion]

Flowerpicker clan, those guys are honest about their goals, nothing like being noble savage one week, and wanabe conqueror the next.

 

[TheOgreNecromancer]

Flowerpicker clan. The first time I heard the term used, I knew.
that is the orcish clan for me.

FLOWERPICKER'S ALL THE WAY!

Could you hide the large image within "Hidden" tab? It takes up too much space.

Is this really in WoW? Or this was fan-made?
