Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning

June 2008·pp. 62–65

THE SHORT VERSION

Mark Latham visits EA Mythic and finds developers determined to preserve Warhammer’s imagery and character in an online world. Six races form opposing alliances, with matched adversaries, varied careers and personalised equipment feeding an escalating war towards enemy capitals. The artists’ consultation with the Studio and the developers’ own miniature collections support that aim. Screenshots and concept art demonstrate the familiar places and personalities behind the forthcoming computer game.

Beyond the Black Gate

Andy Hall talks to Adam Troke about expanding Mordor without losing the familiar identity of Sauron’s forces. Distinctive Ringwraiths, Black Númenóreans and Morgul Knights give elite options, while new Orc support heroes and a versatile Troll kit strengthen the ordinary ranks. Two example armies demonstrate mounted raiding and a large combined host. Neil Green’s painting recipes then show how the new washes can give Orc flesh, cloth and armour depth with straightforward stages.
