Witch Elf Career Video (Viewer) - "
‘Witch Elves go around with their scantily clad armor and their enormous hair and their nasty daggers, and they sneak up on people. They use potions, they use lotions, they use powders, and they use poisons. They imbibe crazy fumes and noxious joy, and that sends them into a furious craziness that allows them to dance around and slaughter people. They’re brides of Khaine, they are covered in blood, and they’ve got big hair. They look really sexy and they are incredibly dangerous. They would be on the front cover of every 1980’s rock album there ever was!’ – Paul Barnett, Creative Director." (August 29, 2007)


Black Guard Career Video (Viewer) - "
‘The Black Guard is the embodiment of brutish, shear bloody-minded violence. They are encased in phenomenal amounts of armor and wield the biggest, evilest, bad*** weapons they can find. Their job is to find the enemy and kill ‘em. They are basically very, very dangerous, really hard to kill, and when they get close to you they deal out tons of damage. The more they hate you, the more damage and misery they will pile upon you. And you know what? They hate everybody, all the time, forever!’ – Paul Barnett, Creative Director." (August 29, 2007)


Swordmaster Career Video
(Viewer) - "‘Swordmasters are, well, masters of swords. They are proto-Jedi. They are so over-the-top in the way they have learned to use their swords that they basically do dances – sword dances – that allows them to build up energy and build up super brilliant attacks. They are all about doing an awful lot of damage very, very quickly and using show-offy little bits of magic to show how super cool they really are.’ – Paul Barnett, Creative Director" (August 29, 2007)


Archmage Career Video (Viewer) - "
‘The Archmage is spell casting madness gone bananas. Like everything the High Elves do, they are the best at it, no matter what. Thus the Archmage is not just good at magic; they are super good at magic. This is a Healer / Caster. To be good at his job, the Archmage must taste combat, draw in Chaos energy, control it, then fire it back at the enemy or mold it into positive magic to unleash on his allies.’ - Paul Barnett."

WAR Video of the Month #5 (Viewer) - "
This month, we have a short video to share with you that was created as a placeholder login screen for our pre-beta build. The reason we are so excited about this clip is that it shows, for the first time, what we’ll be able to do in the game with our new lighting tool. All of the great images you have seen of the game to date have been without proper lighting. Now that the tool is done, the art team has started lighting the world and we’ll be rolling out new images as early as next month. Wait until you see what a dramatic difference it makes!"
