Dark Iron/Inferno Tempered Plate
Armor Type: Plate
Level Req.: 60 for Dark Iron, 70 for Inferno Tempered
Source: Crafted/Vendor purchases/BoE drops
Availability: Easy to obtain
3D Model: Wowhead Link
How to get the set:
There are two sets sharing this particular look, the Dark Iron and Inferno Tempered armors. The former is a blacksmith crafted set and the latter vendor purchased with Justice Points.
Neither set is complete as the Dark Iron lacks a belt and the Inferno Tempered only consists of four items. We have included suggestions for missing slots below.
As they are identical, items from the two sets are interchangable in a transmogrification outfit. It’s worth noting though that Inferno Tempered items are easier to obtain, given their tiny price tags.
This set works very well as a transmogrification outfit for Blood Knights.

for a 1h mace http://www.wowhead.com/item=35071 looks really good
It might also be worth noting that the Dark Iron Plate chest piece is now BoP, not BoE. This might save someone the annoyance of myself and my guildie when we learned this After finally getting it crafted…

I’m currently using Warmonger http://www.wowhead.com/item=13052 with this set. I like the fel iron greatsword, but feel like it’s too small for a two-hander.
If you need a 1H mace, http://www.wowhead.com/item=11805 works quite nice. It’s the Rubidium Hammer that drops from Bael’Gar in Blackrock Depths. For a 1H axe, http://www.wowhead.com/item=90329 works well if you’re horde.
I’ve found that Ashkandi from Nefarion in BWL goes really well with this set aswell for a Gnome Warrior, this is what i run around with and it looks pretty awesome! cheers for the idea for a decent transmog guys & Gals!
I really prefer this chest with the dark iron set, which is a quest reward from within Auchenai Crypts, and looks mean.

This helm http://www.wowdb.com/items/24938 fits a lot better imo.
The blacksmith version http://www.wowdb.com/items/19148 works just as well
This waist item is a better match atleast i think so
http://www.wowhead.com/item=33331 u can get it from same vendor in dala
is there any one hand axes that go with this set
To my surprise, there aren’t actually that many red and black combination 1H axes around. Touch of Madness is one of the better ones, but it has a lot of yellow on it too.
Some good, simple black alternatives could be Demonfork, Ribsplitter and Wraith Scythe.
this is the best match Imo http://www.wowhead.com/item=90329
from panda starter quest or from trial of the grand crusader if i remember corectly
It’s a good match, but it’s worth noting that this particular axe model is only available to the Horde.
Is there any known axe look for this set? would be awesome!
I assume you’re after a 2-Handed axe. If so, there are a couple of examples which have blades that match the set colour scheme rather well: Colossal Great Axe & The Gleaming Ravager.

I use a lot of these pieces for my Horde main’s outfit: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/winterhoof/Sabatieni/simple
The main difference is the shoulders, which are the Spaulders of Dementia from Auchindoun: Sethekk Halls.
