They don't look to bad but I assume with the same insignia.

Holy crap MUST BUY NOW!
LifeInfusion
wow I finally can change my warrior's armor
Reks
I was thinking something along the lines of Duke Barradin's armor, but this one's OK too. 
Mourne
Okay so I bought the armor also, and my main complaints? Well, besides the fact that the armor is damage reduced vs. physical, I am not for the male legs at all... That is the thing I hated about the 1.5k set, and I really wish they hadn't of carried that over.

They had THIS awesome armor:
and they spent the time to make the new, 'meh' looking one? I'm very surprised.

Woah... the female armour is actually *armour* this time!
xBakox
From the other thread:
That helmet for both male and female is HAWT. I'd definately buy it if it allowed for inscriptions. Too bad Anet is still being stubborn about this. Maybe when GWEN comes. Maybe never. Heres to hoping.

Tehy should have either
1.) Gave us the armor shown above....
2.) or gave us a "White Mantle Armor" set
I mean cmon...look at them side by side and the ornate knights armor Barradin is wearing is by far the winner.

White Mantle one looks plain awesome, but it would make no sense to wear it lore wise.

Well....NPCs get better armor since they dont change armor sets. That and they need unique looks to stand out from players.
They are stuck to one set, so their UV mapping is a lot easier since theres no seams to map out.
This allows them to get "unique" looks that cannot be reproduced by our armors because our armors have SEAMS.
Look at the detailwork on hero armors. x.x
I think in order to get the detail we want, wed have to sacrifice being able to mix and match pieces.

looks nothing like concept art imo

^If you mean the one a few posts up, I'll have to agree they look nothing alike.

I like it. I actually went out an bought a set. It's the only tank armour I like besides 15k plate (which was what I had before). I'm also thinking of making a female warrior just to get this armour. =D
As for the concept armour, they have some simularities. Plate and mail. Open faced helmet. No crest and no ribbed armour, but there are similar elements.
I think part of the reason why we're seeing stuff like new armour, the glad's helmet, hard mode, etc, is because of the switch from campaigns ever few months to GW:EN. Without having to invent a whole new campaign, they're creative teams now actually have the time to work on small projects like this.

Baradin is a duke...but he has armor nicer than the king and the prince, how did that work?

Kinda looks like discount FoW with all the random pointy things and waves.

I still like the old school, when Starbuck was a man, viper pilot look of the Ancient armor best, but this knights set is actually pretty cool looking imo.
The only thing that bugs me is the legs. For some reason the legs on GW warriors always look wierd. It's like Rob Liefeld flashbacks, except nothing is that bad.

What is the point in releasing NEW armor with the oldest armor system in GW?
Seriously.
People asked ANet to uncouple looks and armor stats till we finally got this with Factions. Then ANet had a really good idea and introduced Armor Insignias and Inscriptions.
Now we have three different armor systems.
Prophecies - the most restrictive
Factions - make your choice
Nightfall - the most flexible
The most restrictive part is what was lamented since day one:
No +1 Weapon Mastery helmets for this armor. Just the usual Knight's +1 Strength helmet.
Thank you for adding this nice new armor, but a near miss is still a miss. Not going to buy this obsolete crap.

That means I just think it sucks now
