The Winds of Magic: Hadi Al-Begami of the GOA Team has done an excellent job breaking down the Warhammer lore regarding Magic in the Old World. Bright Wizards can set you aflame, but did you know that Gold Wizards turn an armoured knight into a pile of red-hot molten steel? Stealth Wizards? Why yes, not even Karl Franz is fully aware of all Gray Wizard abilities! Whether you are new to the Warhammer universe, or an old hand, you'll appreciate this fine summary of the Eight Lores of Magic.

Invader Crests missing?: If you are having issues with disappearing invader crests, the customer support department is on hand to help restore them. Submit a ticket stating the issue, the name of the character impacted, and approximately how many invader crests you believe are missing.

Around the 'Net
WAR News and Interviews from the intertubes.

Massively Interviews Jeff Skalski: Jeff Skalksi dishes on RvR and talks about the challenge of revisiting Darkness Falls with Land of the Dead. Finally, he talks about the token system and how the Mythic team is reacting to the "path of least resistance" play that can pop up in RvR.

Lore Galore: The folks at Lagwar.com have posted audio from the Black Library Release seminar. Black Library is "the publishing wing of Games Workshop, and brings readers kick-*** action and adventure from the dark and gothic worlds of Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000." Included in the audio is a detailed 2009 roadmap, including Gotrek and Felix Volume 3 to be released in July and the 2nd Darkblade Trilogy to be released in December. The real fun, though, is the Q & A with Warhammer authors Nathan Long and Graham McNeill.

Warhammer Land of the Dead Hands-On Gameplay Video!

DoranM — Wed, 13 May 2009 16:21:32 GMT

WarhammerAlliance.com has posted 5 new videos of gameplay for Land of the Dead. The videos are followed up by lots of discussion on the Land of the Dead Gameplay Video thread. The footage was taken from a special invite given to Warhammer Alliance to meet with EA Mythic during the Game Days event in Baltimore last week.

Here's a look at the original post and the new videos:

Hello WAR fans,

We saved the best videos for last, guys and gals. Our Games Day Baltimore coverage video is capped off by actual gameplay footage for Land of the Dead. Mythic's Gabe Amatangelo takes folks from Massively, MMORPG.com, Ten Ton Hammer, and of course, Curse/Warhammer Alliance on a tour of the new content, from PQ's to traps, to boss encounters. This all-star team of players certainly took their share of lumps from the content, but we had a lot of fun doing it - and now, you get to see a sneak peek!

Obviously this is still in testing and not final, so certainly some adjustments will be made before release.

We'd like to thank Mythic for allowing us to produce this footage for the community and give them something to get excited about with Land of the Dead. We also hope that the community will forgive how terrible I am at playing the game.
