Warhammer Online newsletter: secure a spot in the beta testing, new images, more

Didn’t get a spot in the beta test of Warhammer Online? Don’t worry, there’s still some time before the beta’s done. In the meantime, WAR has a few promotions you might be interested in to increase your chances of getting in the beta. Oh and there are several new wallpapers and concept art available too. Check them out in the full article.

As of July last year, Warhammer Online‘s Beta test had recruited well over 300,000 gamers. Goodness (or chaos) knows how large that number’s increased by now. If you haven’t gotten an invite, maybe these promotions can help you secure a spot.

In their February newsletter, WAR announced their BOOM! Beta Promotion. This April, BOOM! Studios will be releasing their new comic, Warhammer: Condemned by Fire. Each issue contains a scratch-off that gives you a 1-in-5 chance of getting in the beta.

If you’re an artist, you also have a chance in getting in the beta by submitting fan art to WAR‘s newsletter. Artists whose work will be featured in future newsletters will also be getting an invite to the beta. Sharpen those pencils!

If you’re more skilled with words, you can also send in WAR fan faction. If your story gets featured, you’ll receive an invite. If you feel you’re lucky enough, you can also just subscribe to the newsletter. Each month, twenty lucky subscribers will get a free invite.

Now whether or not you’re in the beta and are just a fan of the upcoming MMO, you might be interested in these new images from WAR. Wallpapers at the top of the page, and concept art of NPCs and Chaos spawns below.
