Warhammer Online : Age of Reckoning (WAR), not to be confused with the now defunct Warhammer Online, is the translation of the Warhammer universe into the online space by Mythic Entertainment. The Fairfax, VA based developers - who also brought you Dark Age of Camelot - secured the license at E3 2005. The first images then became available in March of 2006.

WAR hopes to launch in 2007 with six playable races, spread over two factions. As the name implies, these factions will wage an all-out PvP war on the game's servers. Beta is scheduled for the summer of 2006.

Guide: Career Profile - Knight of the Blazing Sun
The Knights of the Blazing Sun are an order of templars devoted to the cult of Myrmidia – Goddess of warfare and protector of civilization. While the order began in the southern portions of the Old World, its members have spread throughout the Empire in recent centuries. Each Knight has spent a lifetime training both physically and mentally, and it is the latter that differentiates them from other warriors in the Old World.

The Witch Hunter is a tireless foe of Chaos, dark magic and witchery of all kinds. As the taint of Chaos continues to spread and more people are drawn to the dark arts, the Witch Hunters’ role has become increasingly important to the Empire. Fast, cunning and deadly, they dispense merciless judgment upon any who serve Chaos.

Career Profile - Dwarf Engineer
An explosion is the ultimate form of mechanical advantage, so it’s no big surprise that the skills of the Dwarf Engineer extend well along these lines. From guns to grenades, he is a deadly ranged combatant who will pelt you with lead from afar and blast you to bits as you close in.

Career Profile - Goblin Squig Herder
One-on-one a Squig is no match for the likes of a Hammerer or Ironbreaker, but the problem there isn’t the match, it’s the numbers. The toothy embrace of a pack of Squigs has brought down many a hearty warrior, and a Squig pack is never more effective than in the hands of an expert Herder.
