Paladin Tier 13 and Visual Retrospective

Adventurers will be tested like never before in 4.3 as they take on Deathwing and his minions, emerging with powerful new treasures. Please enjoy this preview of the paladin tier 13 set, as well as a visual guide to tiers 1 through 12 for Transmogrification purposes.
 

Battleplate of Radiant Glory

Design requested a set to ‘key off the Guardian of Ancient Kings summon,’ and I though the concept of ‘feathered’ plate mail, rendered in silver and gold, would create an aggressive, yet sweeping and powerful silhouette. The previous paladin raid set had a good deal of cloth, but we wanted this set to be entirely platemail.

The key to a strong paladin tier is hitting a balance between martial prowess and elegant grace -- tapping into that classic Arthurian knight archetype.

tier 4 would look perfect on a Draenei, especially with that one hammer from gruul, maybe if the shoulders had bigger gems on it though...

I really like all the pally sets except for 2.5 and 9 (horde), 2.5 just looks..awful.... and tier 9 (horde) looks like it belongs on a warrior.

IMO, tier 12 would have made a nice Mage set. I don't exactly picture it as a plate armor set. Definitely doesn't look like one.

I want this set, I really do. My problem is I can't find the armor that has a blue gem in it (appearance wise). I've seen it with a rather ugly silver and red gem or purple but not blue exactly like this. Will the armor that is pictured ever see the light of day in wow?

@Lùke: This version of the set is in game its the normal version. Red is LFR and purple is heroic.

Immolation looks like a Mage or Warlock set, not a Paladins.

Had the T2 chest and gloves drop last week, trying to run BWL every week until I get the full set. Still need a couple pieces of T6. I guess I'll mog whichever set I complete first.
