Two new careers will join the war

This November, the realm war will be even more deadly as two new careers take their place on the battlefield. The Empire will deploy the nobility and tactical cunning of the Knights of the Blazing Sun to aid the armies of Order in their battle against the encroaching darkness. Meanwhile Malekith's personal bodyguard, the much feared Black Guard will stride to war to bolster the Dark Elf armies as they struggle for their ancient homeland.

The Age of Reckoning has dawned

Across the Old World and on the island home of the High Elves, bitter enemies clash in bloody skirmishes and mighty battles. For the soldiers of Order and Destruction, there is no respite and no mercy. Now, the warring factions will gain new allies in the form of the fearsome Black Guard and the cunning Knight of the Blazing Sun. These heavily-armored soldiers race to the battlefront to anchor their realms' defenses and ensure that for every inch of ground given, the enemy pays in bitter blood.

With a thunderous war-cry and the ringing of steel on steel, the battle begins anew, with neither side willing to retreat or surrender.

To herald the arrival of these supreme warriors, we will be running a special event on all servers beginning on the 17th of November and you can read all about it on our Heavy Metal event page (for the detailed information, you can refer to our relating pages). You can also read more about the two new careers in our Universe section. Learn about the Knight of the Blazing Sun (again, you can have the detailed review of the Knight of the Blazing Sun in our relating parts covering the careers in the Warhammer Online ) and the Black Guard today (the same goes with the Knight of the Blazing Sun).

The darkness draws in on the most feared night of the year.

Witching Night approaches and all across the Old World, evil creatures awake to wreak mayhem.  The twin moons bathe the land in pale light as this is the only time all year when they are both waxing full. The brave – or the foolhardy – hunt the twisted abominations that are called by the celestial confluence but will you be hunter or hunted?

From October 30th until the 3rd November, you will be able to take part in the deadly festivities of Witching Night.  Fight in special Public Quests, unlock new rewards and look out for power hidden in dark places. See our Witching Night guide for more details.

Get a head start on the new WAR careers!!

When the Heavy Metal live event begins on November 17th, players who log into WAR will see a new tab in the Tome of Knowledge. Clicking on this tab will open the Live Events page, where each day we'll place a new daily task. Completing these daily tasks earns influence, just like you'd earn in a public quest. There are rewards for Basic, Advanced and Elite influence, culminating in the ultimate prize: the chance to play WAR's new classes a full week before they're released to the public! This last reward won't be easy to earn, and players who want to get to the Elite level will need to log in each day and complete on the daily event.

Things Go Bump in the Night
