Return of Reckoning

My friend Markus was a GM for warhammer when it was live, i still have him added on skype i believe he is making some sort of indie game now. but i remember a long time ago he told me that there was a rumor of some sort of like hero class. i decided to bring this up because i saw a topic about classes and stuff. he said it was sorta like how world of warcraft had the deathknight, but it had been in the making before wrath of the lich king even came out. infact it was suppose to be an expansion in its own, it had to do with lizardmen. he said that they had loads of plans of using more of the old world to do these things, since currently they had only been using a fraction of the warhammer world. but yeah you guys should look up lizardmen. their lore is pretty awesome. they never got to it because of money issues, but he did say that when the servers went down there were some files of these massive dinosaurs and other models they were working on. anyway yeah just thought i should say that.

I think it can be a large pve content like Land of the Dead

it all sounds lovely but i think the requirement is that the packet be sniffed i dont know though
i dont think its stored locally

Yeah he said that it was suppose to be massive, and I don't know about this one but he once talked to me about how beastmen, those guys with horns and hooves for feet were going to be a playable race too. But yeah the lizard men expansion thing was suppose to have these really large temples, he referenced that it would kinda look like the marshes of madness but in a much larger scale

Interesting, thanks for sharing. Maybe the Beastmen, Lizardmen, and Skaven were supposed to be a "Beastial" based third faction or something?

Sounds pretty cool. Unfortunately it seems highly unlikely any of that ever made it into the player clients. So the team here has 0 access to any of that stuff.

If your buddy had any of the files or actual info, that'd probably be helpful. Or illegal. Not entirely sure...

Yea. I feel sure that there is a mountain of conceptual idea's for WAR that never got implemented. They definitely swung big at the inception...

Doubt it. Lizardmen abhor Chaos, which is what Beastmen and Skaven are all about. If anything Lizardmen would've joined Order and Beastmen would've joined Destro.

Which actually makes sense considering the Lizardmen dwell South of the LotD, so the next expansion would've introduced them

True =P, I guess the Slann wouldn't want anything to do with helping Chaos at all. Not after sacrificing most of their race to try stopping it.

Lizardmen dwell South of the LotD in the same sense that Brazil is South of the UAE. LOTD is directly South of the Old World, while Lustria (where the Lizardmen live) is south of Naggaroth.
