I always thought of the whitecloaks as having that long shirt-like thing on over their armor, but I guess they never said anything about that. I believe they have conical helmets with ring mail covering the rest of their head though.

I must stress that those are heavy Whitecloaks, the standard Whitecloaks will be wearing a tunic over their armour yes, and they won't have such all inclusive helmets. If you find a pic that would be great.

I found the following pictures of whitecloaks. One is a Questioner, but still...for reference.

Questioner

Whitecloak

Don't say much, you know... fan art anyway. Wait and see if there will be any in NS comic, and I will accpet them but not the fan art....

The second one is fan art, but the questioner is from the Offical WOT RPG sourcebook.

Well in all fairness they also use an old Icewind Dale pic for a gleeman... still it's a nice rendering - but remember, the Inquisitors aren't fighting men, so their appearance isn't that important I think.

You can tell they used several different artists for the RPG book, some of those pics are very good and some are crap, for instance whoever drew the various animals like the Corlm, the Darkhounds, the Grolm, etc did a very nice job. Whoever did the Draghkar and the Myrddraal should have Asmodean pay them a visit. The drawings of Rand and Mat are in a crappy style too, then you flip a couple pages and Thom and Padan look perfect...

EDIT: pg 226 of the Guide has a nice rendering of a Whitecloak

The RPG art isn't official.... it isn't jordan approved, at least.

Yeah, quick note:

the Books are gospel... with the exception of the very rare typo or error... considering the enormous amount of material in this series, it's amazing that Jordan has only made a handful of conflicting notes...

the Guide should be given about 80% weight, Jordan reviewed most of it and wrote some of it, but noted that a few things slipped by him and of course a good bit of it was written by somebody merely taking their best guess...

the RPG book should be given about 50% weight, Jordan checked off on some of it, but his own statement regarding it was that most of his communication was along the lines of, "No, you can't have ninjas in my world." As such it's useful for some background information but anything in it that is not substantiated by other sources should be taken with a grain of salt, and anything that conflicts should be viewed as flawed...

online resources are generally useful for compiling various facts together quickly and for easy reference, none of this work has even Jordan's name attached to it and varies wildly in accuracy depending on the individual...

Agree with this... and as for art, we should shape the models from Jordans desriptions as much as possible, not from fan art or RPG art. I do not trust any art not NS... I don't like most of the BWB art:)
