The one on the picture is a model, but there are cannons you can use to defend your village in PvP (RvR as the call it). There are also quests for usage of those cannons.
And may be they were smart enough to make you control a a steam tank. We'll see.

As for the classes or your character:
Order->Dwarves->Engineer(marksman)
Order->Dwarves->Ironbreaker(warrior)
Order->Dwarves->Runepriest
Order->Empire(humans)->Bright Wizard
Order->Empire(humans)->Witch Hunter
Order->Empire(humans)->Warrior priest(healer/dps)
Order->High Elves->Swordmaster
Order->High Elves->Archmage
Order->High Elves->Shadow Warrior(rogue)
Order->High Elves->White Lion(hunter)
Destruction->Greenskins->Goblins->Squid Herder
Destruction->Greenskins->Goblins->Shaman
Destruction->Greenskins->Orcs->Black Orc(warrior)
Destruction->Chaos->Chosen(dark magic)
Destruction->Chaos->Magus(arcane magic)
Destruction->Chaos->Zealot(shaman)
Destruction->Chaos->Marauder
Destruction->Dark Elves->Witch Elf(rogue)
Destruction->Dark Elves->Sorceress(dark magic)
Destruction->Dark Elves->Disciple of Khaine(warrior)

WAAAGH!

Back I am.

On http://pedrolucasgoestowow.blogspot.com/ you can get a few snapshots I took while playing yday. I have a lot more, may be I'll upload them to Picasa so you can see the sights.

This is Altdorf and a special photo for DO fans, a pretty nice steaming tank !

As to Elminster, quite right, it's a a messy RPG crossover  Grin. I've been doing it since my WoW times started, when my main Tarithel toon got her name out of a wonderful ZX Spectrum game called Doomdark's Revenge from 1985. Once an Elf always an Elf.

Or in this case, once a Wizard always a Wizard  Cheesy

Hello all

I'm new on this forum. I've found it while looking for Dark Omen players, and I'm glad I've found them.
I've reinstalled Dark Omen this Summer, I'm replaying the solo campaign and I hope to find some multiplayer partners around here.

I'd also like to brief you on the newly released Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.

As you may well know, it is a World of Warcraft (addicted guy here, 6 lvl 70's) clone built on top of Warhammer lore, with some nice changes.

You don't command a computer warband (as in Dark Omen or in Warcraft I/II/III), you command yourself (as in WoW), and if you're a natural leader, you will command other real players in battle against the opposition.

There are two factions, Order and Chaos (equivalent to Alliance and Horde in WoW).

You can create a character of several classes and play with it.

I've started yesterday and I have created a bright wizard with orange bear! Oh dear, I forgot the name of that clumsy wizard that kept sending fire and getting killed by the Chaos warlocks on Dark Omen, but I hope to do better than him in battle.

He is Elminster, currently lvl 8.  I've yet to visit Altdorf, but for starters, the initial area of Grimmenhaven has stunning graphics. The player versus player battling is working, although laggy.

The game itself is pretty new, so it still has some problems, which hopefully will be solved in the weeks ahead. Mostly has to do with lag, intermitent freezings, lack of newbie help, and such things.

If interest exists, I'll be posting my experiences and comparisons against Dark Omen, in what is comparable of course.

Commander Bernhardt forever !
