WoW cosplayer rules over Stormwind as fearsome Turalyon Blizzard Entertainment, YouTube: Danny McFlyWorld of Warcraft\u2019s fearsome Alliance warrior turned Stormwind monarch, Turalyon, has been brought to life with this stunning WoW cosplay. While we\u2019ve seen cosplayers strut their stuff in stunning renditions of World of Warcraft\u2019s Dark Lady, Sylvanas, or the beautiful nature queen, Alexstrasza, Stormwind\u2019s regent and Lord Commander of the Alliance, Turalyon, hasn\u2019t gotten a lot of love in the WoW cosplay community. Forced to rule over the Alliance\u2019s citizens in the wake of Anduin\u2019s corruption by the Jailer, we haven\u2019t seen a lot of him in WoW\u2019s latest chapter, Shadowlands, but no doubt he\u2019ll emerge for the final battle that is at the heart of the Eternity\u2019s End 9.2 update. Hoping to show the priest turned legendary warrior some much-needed love is Austrian cosplayer, Danny McFly, whose recreation of Turalyon will take your breath away. WoW cosplayer battles the Horde as Turalyon While characters such as The Jailer or Anduin Wrynn may have seemed like a logical choice given their involvement in the Shadowlands saga, Danny was determined to breathe new life into the High Exarch. \u201cI actually decided on this costume after my last big costume (Batman) because I wanted to do something challenging, and since I\u2019ve been playing WoW on and off for years, this came to my attention,\u201d he told Dexerto. \u201d It has so many nice details and the character has a cool backstory, so it seemed like a good idea.\u201d It turns out, though, that constructing Turalyon\u2019s armor was also gave Danny a little bit of redemption. \u201cWhen they released the design I wanted to build it. I have built a Warcraft cosplay before with Varian, but I didn\u2019t like some of the execution, especially in the paint job, so this was also a great chance to work on my painting.\u201d Looking at this cosplay, though, you\u2019d never have thought Danny\u2019s painting needed work! From the stunning brass inlays to the golden trims that adorn the gunmetal grey body of the iconic armor, every little detail has been meticulously crafted. Sweeping silver hair cascades across his scarred, bearded face, exuding a power that only Stormwind\u2019s regent can command. View this post on Instagram While he notes that \u201cI wouldn\u2019t say it was \u2018more difficult\u2019 than my other projects,\u201d he recalls that it \u201cwas by far the most time consuming, since the paint job is such a huge surface, and all needs to be hand-painted, which took way over 200 hours (which I only know since I streamed all of it, to keep my sanity in check!)\u201d It\u2019s clearly been well worth it, though, as even the queen of cosplay herself, Kamui Cosplay (the woman behind that insane Diablo Brigitte cosplay), commented \u201cwow, this costume is just a beauty! I cannot believe how perfectly all the proportions are and you look like straight out of the game!\u201d View this post on Instagram While Danny admits that he does \u201cplan to do some more Blizzard Characters in the future,\u201d he notes that there may be a little bit of a wait. \u201cBoth Thrall and Illidan are still on my list, but I need to switch it up a bit to get a bit of variety.\u201d We can\u2019t wait to see how Danny brings these two WoW icons to life, especially considering just how amazing this Turalyon look was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
