I wanted to give everyone a bit of a teaser of the war-steed appearance system.
I purchased all available items in the beta store to do with war-steed appearance to show you some of the options. The store is not the only place you can get new looks for your war-steed but it of course was the easiest for purposes of this demonstration.
I show the customizable options of:
- Body
- Gear (goes on the rump)
- Head
- Hide (horse color)
- Legs
- Saddle
- Tail (horse tail and mane color)
Currently in beta, we are unable to apply different colors to the horse’s hide or tail but I can preview what it would look like to show you the possibilities.
This was recorded on Riders of Rohan Beta Build 5 on September 16, 2012. Any of it is subject to change between now and release date of October 15th.

The horse’s name is Wafflecopter! I love it! You make me smile, Goldenstar.

Squeeee!
Thanks so much, Goldenstar! This answers alot of the questions I had. One thing I am still curious about though: does the type of steed (light, medium, and heavy) have any effect on appearance; for instance, is the heavy steed larger or more muscular than the light steed?

Yes the light steed is much smaller than the heavy steed. In this video I’m on the heavy steed because I though the larger version would be easier to see
