WoW Insider has a wonderfully Death Knighty (it's a word, we swear!) gallery up that features their recently upgraded look. Now your brand new Hero class will come with blue glowing eyes of despair that will haunt your foes for an enternity! Oh, plus Blizzard added in some new rune graphics for the Death Knight's class mechanic. They're apparently much improved over the last set, so it's a good thing.
After looking through the gallery, we were suddenly reminded of a particular blog post about Batman by a Mr. Warren Ellis. We've never been afraid of a Gnome (well, there was this one time on an RP server in Goldshire) but today, we have known fear and its name is Gnome Death Knights.

Heya ScytheNoire,
This is Daniel from WoW Insider, I posted the gallery originally.
Undead didn't have any specifically new skins with this latest build, so I didn't include them in this gallery. However, if you'd like to see some Forsaken Death Knights, you can check out our other, earlier Death Knight gallery:

Hmm, am I the only one thinking they look pretty crappy?

Nope, I think a lot of them look really stupid, too. The gnomes, trolls, tauren, orcs, night elves, and blood elves all look pretty dumb. Tauren Death Knight? Really, Blizz?
They should definitely limit DK to the races that don't look completely ridiculous, and to races that at least somewhat fit the lore. I will definitely avoid grouping with gnome/night elf DK's (similar to how ppl do NE hunters) unless I know the person is a decent player. And even then I will still hold it against them.

Both sex Tauren and the female dwarf just look awful as death knights. But that male gnome really is frightening. Straight out of a nightmare of the Wizard of Oz gone evil.
