Will these guys ever stop? Hopefully not! This new parody song from Warhammer Geek is based on the song Walk This Way by DMC. Hey guys, why not release something that’s more akin to my music tastes? Why not make parodies of Jack Johnson, or the John Butler Trio…? Sure, it may not fit with the theme of WAR but I’d love it.

The only word that describes this is pimpin‘ (yes, this concept art is so awesome I can’t even include the ‘g’).

Note from Dave: Sorry about getting this published late, Vidictus actually wrote this a couple of days ago. Purely my fault.
Well the Herald has put out a new issue to keep us up to date on how beta has been doing (finally) and it, sounds, awesome. Last month they tested out the campaign system starting in Order Tier 3 campaign, it advanced into Tier 4 as well as the players fought desperately from the fort to fort along the roads to Altdorf. At the moment it sounds like it is going rather well. I can’t wait to get my hands on it, they implemented the mail system as well. I’m not sure whether or not they sacked Altdorf, but it doesn’t sound like they could. They also added some Screenshots, but did not announce it on the main page. And to all you Greenskin fans and Grudgebearers out there, next set of beta will be on the Bloody Sun Boyz facing off against the Oathbearers from the Worlds edge mountains, personally, I’ve got my money on the Dwarves.
Well, until the next news pops up from under EA’s Massive pile or greatness, Live by the blade, die by the blade.

23rd May , 08Posted by Dave under Closed Beta, Condemned by Fire #1
People have been confused with a number of issues regarding Condemned by Fire and the closed beta. It’s good to see Mythic has cleared up misconceptions:
Greetings all,
Below is a brief FAQ to help alleviate some questions concerning the beta promotion included with BOOM! Studios’ Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning comic: Condemned By Fire.
Do I still have to register my code by May 31st in order to qualify for the beta contest?
The deadline has been extended to June 14th in order to enter your code.
How do I register multiple keys on the same Beta Center account?
As stated we only allow one key per Beta Center Account.
What phase of beta are the winners given access to?
Winners will be invited to CLOSED beta.
Thank you,
The Community Team
I was especially worried about the whole closed/open beta confusion, so it’s great to see I still have my chance to get into closed. I’m also relieved that I didn’t order 5 copies of Condemned by Fire.

Not only have Mythic released some new screenshots, they’ve released new screenshots of the Goblin Shaman! Why does that matter? Well it’s the class I’ll be playing at launch and there’s been a lack of good Shaman-content (they look as awesome as expected by the way).
Check out the new screenshots @ tentonhammer.com

Yay, another podcast to listen too today (it’s strange, most of the podcasts I listen too are released around this time). In this episode of the Podcast of Reckoning the guys will discuss:

For any avid WAR fan this article will contain nothing new, but it’s a great (a relatively short) summary of Warhammer Online’s boasted features. Why is that useful? Well it’d probably be a good idea to send the link to all your WoW-friends in hopes of converting them.

GameSpot Australia has interviewed everyone’s favorite Associate Producer for WAR…Josh Drescher. I’m not even going to bother summarizing this “extended” interview, just read it, soak it up, and bask in the glory that WAR will become.
