Are these a bundle or individual skins, do we know? I'd love that Xuen skin but i don't wanna pay for 5 others i won't use.
You can bet your next paycheck they will be offered as a bundle. They may also be offered individually, but that's more of a coin toss.
the one thing that I have issue with is, the Red Crane, Chi-ji... was for healers in Wow. Eh, I know Hearthstone takes liberties with their creations and that's fine. The skin is probably nice to some, but to me, it uses one of the Worst Mage Tier sets aesthetically. Well some will enjoy it, and that's all that matters.
Red Crane Anduin would have looked cool, but I like this one anyway.
These look pretty cool.
Love that Mage skin; might have to retire Kel'Thuzad!
Definitely didn't expect the August Celestials to be distributed this way.
Chi-Ji I always thought would be for Rogue, but Mage kinda fits.
Yu'lon I thought they'd save for the addition of a Monk class but Shaman makes second most sense.
Xuen I definitely thought would be Paladin.
Niuzao (The Black Ox) being for Hunter makes the least sense to me, 100% would think he'd be associated with Warrior.
My guess is that these associations were made because Rogue, Paladin, and Warrior already got their Lunar New Year skins. All of these look really cool though!
Would love to see the other three celestials as skins: Yu'lon, Chi'ji and Niuzao!
Kinda disappointed to get another Druid hero over a Hunter or Priest (or DH) hero, but it's really lovely looking.
Wow, loving that Illidan skin! 😱💜
That panther is a druid skin? Sick
That's Xuen, the White Tiger, he's an August Celestial (Part of the Pandaren pantheon essentially)
