Ah hold on - what's woad? I mean I know what it is - is it a substitude helm like tatoos? It would be a great way to get around the nasty helm.

EDIT: Ok, if that is the female warrior set I am not buying it! ANet, you've messed up big time. Drop the silly spikes and make a decent armour set for the warriors!

I might just be interested in that if the images are good. HOWEVER I am not impressed with the rest of the armour. If the official guildwiki image is correct, I will not be buying it. The team need to work on a re-skin immediately - it looks worse than the male set!

A link to all the armours, they all look rubbish and most of them just look like refurbished old armours.

When you get Norn Hunting party rank 2, 3 then 4...and with Hunt Rampage on top the points go up SO fast. And it's not hard to kill something every 45 seconds in there...there are a good number of enemies which can be defeated with a little fire magic.

I maintain that it's a quicker way of farming reputation points than the Nornbear quest.

But it racks up 4,000-4,500 faction points each time at least if you clear the area, so it helps you level up real fast.

Seriously I always hide mine, but then again I like my hair too.
I dont even bother buying the 15(10)K helmets since I always turn them off anyway.

Trust me, Anet does not care one iota if you 'buy' the armor or not, its not like they make money off it.

Not a fan of the norn war armor. Not horrible imo, but definetly not great.

Still, I want to see the norn and highlander woad for war (if it's even different for professions). Woad instead of a helm could be pretty cool.

Woad = win.
Buy a Highlander one, dye it blue and charge at foes shouting "FREEEDOOOOM!!!".

I've been running around with Ascalon armor and an Elite Sunspear helm since a little after NF came out, just because I wanted to get as close to viking armor as possible. I was hoping to get the "real deal" here, but this doesn't look much different...

Here's what I don't get: If they already had a badass Norn helm made for Warriors... why change it to something more generic? Especially if you have a helm that already looks strikingly similar? It just doesn't make sense.

The original helm looked a lot better.

I am really interested in screenshots of that 2 "things" for the face, the woads! I am a big fan of tattoo armor!

About armor, hmmm, look good, it's like an alternative to Elite Charr Hide.

I can't, for the life of me, understand why you get this altered Charr Hide Armor instead of some great Norn-looking armor like this:

I wish people would learn what reskin means before shouting the "THATS A RESKIN!!!" crap.

I managed to get a screen shot of one of the Woads, not sure which one it was though and this guy wouldn't stop running around so I had to cap a screen shot fast.

Anyone know if that face thing is always brown? because there are characters with that exactly brown skin.

Lets see 4 new armors means Norn, Asura, Dwarf, and Ebon. 10K a piece that means 200k not including materials! Some how though I have a huge urge to buy asura armor because I just imagine its gonna be good lol. I'm already stocking my materials up, hopefully to be first to get the new armors like I did for norn lol

Well, I can't say I fancy the new armors that much. If Asuran armor looks like the redish south-american incaish armorset in the leaked screenshot it might be nice if it can be dyed. I personally hate red armor, but if I can dye it silver.. it would be perhaps a nice female warrior armor.

Atm I'm still walking around with my first "love" the normal templar armor. Looks most realistic, only the bits with the "tits" . Perhaps switch to elite canthan if I don't like the others .

Norn Warrior - female version (with woad, which looks cooler than crappy helmet):
