Are you asking me? I mean, Alchemist seems pretty solid, but perhaps also the... hm... That's a tough one.

Does the campaign "super Orc throne" that Hellscream sits on when Chaos-ified have an actual chair in it?

The question is open to everyone. As for the orc throne, it does have its own chair mesh. I guess I'll check that one as well.

What about re-wrapping the mount with the gargoyle texture to make either a Forsaken/Wretched rider or an Illidari rider? For the Illidari variant, maybe change the rider to either the NE/HE huntress model or the NE/HE archer model. Or maybe just keep the rider as is since the Illidari employs Orcs to their ranks as well.

This water dragon looks strange.

Why not make a Couatl Rider?

Or even a Wind Serpent like a Gyarados lol

The Undead one is pretty nice!

If I remember, you have made a Dragonhawk with an archer. When can we found it?
