the fact that it has warforged in the name makes me want to say that it's going to be added in 5.4.8, or possibly in the 6.0 pre-patch.
warforged- like the rare raid gear dropping this raid tier.

Comment by Luniwenor

it looks good. too bad that for 90% its going to need euros to obtain.

Comment by Fizz281

Maybe it can be purchased with warforged seals? They not going to be as useful when 6.0 comes and alot of people have alot of those lesser charms!

This is (currently on the PTR) created with 1 Nightmarish Hitching Post, and 1 Grinning Reaver.

Comment by Azrilar

Its funny how some of the "out of date" posts are actually correct--it is stated to be released in Patch.5.4.8 according to http://www.wowhead.com/news=239002/patch-5-4-8-ptr-build-18273-new-mounts-database-updated-for-additional-item-upgr

This model is capable of flying.

Matching hitching post comes with the mount purchase, and transforms the mounts of your group members (who click on it) for twenty minutes.

Mount and hitching post together now for sale in-game for 30 US dollars.

Currently, to view in 3D you may need to click on the "warlords" button in the upper left corner of the website. They will likely code the view to the live version of this page soon.

~~Currently for sale in the in-game shop in the Warlords Alpha, along with the Grinning Reaver.~~

~~3D model viewable Here.~~

This could be a Scroll of Resurrection reward for the next promotion. I don't think it would be RaF - doesn't look like a two person mount. There's plenty of reward options for RaF and only 1 for SoR (I know they took out SoR but I'm sure it'll appear again before the new expansion). I could also see it being a store mount

Pray to God we don't have to pay for this. Swet and tears while farming are more worthy than money

Just bought Warforged Nightmare for $30 in the Blizzard Store. Thought it was a mistake that it was in the shop. I even came here and there was no news about it being for sale, and no posts. Once you buy it, you will also be mailed the Nightmarish Hitching Post. Upon use, it summons a rather tall hitching post, which is clickable. Having the Warforged Nightmare mount myself, I mounted up on a different mount and clicked it. It gave me the Nightmarish Reins buff.

The mount itself uses the same movements as the Swift Windsteed, also from the store; very clunky and heavy feeling when running (as it should, it's mechanical!). But it has its own unique sound: a sound that you would expect from a mechanical horse. And, of course, the flame/smoke effects when flying are a nice touch. At least on my server (Korgath), I haven't seen anyone else with it. But judging by the amount of whispers I got when testing it out, I'm sure it'll be all the rage by this evening. Will upload screenshots soon.

There are some odd things going on with the Nightmarish Hitching Post, which I'm sure will get hotfixed real soon. Currently, it can be placed in the sky, if you are flying or using Zen Flight.

Can be used in Zen Flight form. (But don't move during casting)
Can be clicked on while falling if you were mounted, and will complete the 3 second cast even if you hit the ground.
Cannot use while moving. (Apparently falling is not yet considered moving.)
Cannot use when in combat.
Cannot use in shapeshift forms
Reclicking the hitching post does not refresh the time on the Nightmarish Reins buff.
Will break stealth.
Nightmarish Hitching Post will be mailed to all characters. (Including those level 1 bank alts)

The in-game mail for the Nightmarish Hitching Post is from "The Forgotten Smith" and says:

"<player name>, There were leftover materials from your war forged nightmare. Please enjoy the hitching post crafted from the remnants.

Comment by CalaelenDT

Confirmed that the Warforged Nightmare is a Blizzard Store item.

It costs $30 (for US realms) (Store Image)
In addition to the mount itself, you will receive a Nightmarish Hitching Post in the mail which allows party members to transform their mounts into a Warforged Nightmare for 20 minutes (Image)
It functions as both a ground and a flying mount
It's a one-seater

Store description of the mount:

"Through the magic of a fantastical hitching post, you and your allies can ride this magnificent metal steed to your next conquest. So bring the finest horse ever crafted to your stables and unite the war band! Grandmaster smiths are standing by for your order!"

The mail for the Hitching Post reads:

<name>,

There were leftover materials from your warforged nightmare. Please enjoy the hitching post crafted from the remnants.

The Forgotten Smith

Comment by BluntsAndBeats

Seems to be some sorta bug if you take take a flight path while you have the buff from the hitching post. Fly really really slowly, or maybe its your mount speed or something. Only tested on my level 34 guy so far which only has slowest mount speed.

edit: you can also cancel the mount buffs and youll end up swimming through the air with no mount, this of course pertains to being on a flight path

Comment by angorashi

Never been so much as tempted by a Blizzard Store mount/pet before. But damn, this tests me.

It tests me greatly.

Comment by 1015309

Warforged nightmare...probably involves getting lots of gold.

Comment by CSM101

Currently cannot be gifted to someone else, but as this is the first day of availability, functionality will be implemented "in a couple weeks", as per @BlizzardCS

Comment by leespice12

Here is a copy of the mail that you receive when you get the mount.

As per your request. We have custom built a fearsome warhorse to your stringent standards.

But do not be fooled by its metal skeleton, as it is quite alive and will obey your every command.

Comment by Dalingrin

I just got it and am parked in the Shrine for a little bit. Getting a lot of attention! This mount looks awesome on my demonology warlock with full regalia and dark apotheosis on.

Comment by asktgm

I'm sorry, but this thing has the stupidest looking running animation, at least in my opinion.

Comment by 1268361

I think everyone who hates the stupid ground running animation should submit suggestion to make Blizzard change it. I'll be doing this 20-30 times every single day... until they ban me or something.

Comment by 460595

If anyone on this post is an artist, i would love it if someone could sketch this mount for me :)

Comment by Kharnamatic

This mount is definitely a must buy if you want to feel like a celebrity on your server. I cannot tell you how many whispers I've gotten telling me how cool my mount is, where they can get it, etc (sometimes I reply back that I got it from some crazy difficult achievement, and bask in the oohs and ahs). Furthermore it's a great in game gold maker - people will literally come out and ask to pay you gold to put down the hitching post so they can preview the mount themselves. I have made 10,000g in a couple of days since owning this mount - more than I can sell my sky golem for :(. In this way the mount is very similar to premium vehicles in other MMOs like World of Tanks, i.e. you buy a mount that helps you grind ingame currency in the game.

So buy this mount for the big self esteem boost from your peers, and if you want some extra gold revenue for no effort.
Also the flying fire effects are pretty rad.

Comment by 684868

They should have added an achievement for it called "Screw your mechano-hog, I'VE A HORSE OUTSIDE!"

Comment by 1273287

Looks like the Thunderhorse in Metalocalypse.

Comment by Sarlis

wonderful mount

Comment by 1448457

Just bought this earlier today, and I have to say it's one of the first mounts I've bought that I'm actually pleased with. The hitching post is deifnitely a nice touch. Although the running animation is more dog like than horse like, for a 'robot' horse it does look right.

Comment by 1412310

If you clicked the Nightmarish Hitching Post and Nightmarish Reins is running out stay mounted and when you no longer have the buff just log out and log in. It will reset to initial 20 minutes. You can do this as many times as you want to keep the mount.

Comment by Meymanrex

Due to the running anymation it makes you feel traveling fast.. but this is my personal opinion

Comment by Heldamon

-Stupid run animation
-The way it stands while on a slope is ridiculous

Cool special animation when pressing jump

Comment by Tobbiberak

So. i bought the Warforged Nightmare today and wherever i go it says "You can't use that here." im a Troll Warrior.

Comment by Dirtnose

Did they price increase this? It costs £27 now in the UK store up from £22.

Comment by Animexlife

This mount is cool. The run animation is kinda odd but it's a robot horse. For what it's worth, the run animation is overlooked for me because it has other features I like. Obviously the hitching post. A raid team riding these is really awesome and picture worthy. Also, I love the sounds. When you're turning you hear a quiet chain sound like your pulling on the reins, also it snorts and breathes heavy when running, flying or just standing.

The standing animation is awesome, it turns its head to one side, also it kinda jumps spreading its front legs apart and looks to the side like it's glaring or something. The mount special animation is awesome, it rears up and does a turn. The whinnying sounds are cool too, sounds like a robotic horse. When it flies there is a red haze/streams following it like it's moving really really fast.

All in all, if you can get past the one flaw it has, the running animation, you get a neat horse that looks bad ass and capable of taking on whatever it is your about to fight for you.

I call mine Onix...after the On-X horse from Rainbow Brite.

Don't judge me.

Comment by Shadowlander

For best results, put the camera directly behind your character and zoom in while flying directly forward in the air... ANIME SPEED LINES...

I love everything about this mount + toy combo, including the - actually somewhat fitting - animations...

Comment by CovahRedro

A Paladin Transmog that matches this mount Blood Star

Comment by grelb

This is no longer available in the Blizzard store.
I want to get it so that I can get the attached Toy for my (nearly complete) Toy collection
But I cannot get this nor the toy any more.

I wonder if this will be become available again at some point - or perhaps the Toy

Very surprising to see this bundle available for only 700 Tenders considering the original price.

Comment by Tyrphon

if you buy the mount from the trading post you have to relog to get the toy <3

Comment by NagisaStreams

The red trail now is always active when moving (was when flying)
