    Actually, black is the lack of all colours

    unless you are talking pigment colours instead of projected

    in which case you might be right

    The elite Black Guard is the Tank Archetype Career of the Dark Elves of House Uthorin, and is particularly resistant to magical attacks. The Black Guard are the personal guard of Malekith, the Witch King. The Black Guard specialize in the use of melee Halberd Great Weapons, soaking up damage for their allies and building up Hate against their enemies allowing them to do more damage.
    The Black Guard has balanced offensive and defensive physical abilities while being particularly resistant to magic.
    edit Speciality

    The Blackguard uses "Hatred" as a mechanic for building up more powerful attacks. As the Blackguard attacks his enemies and is attacked, his hatred increases. Hatred is considered to mirror the Ironbreaker's grudge mechanic, with a few significant differences. The Blackguard gains hatred for attacking enemies as well as from being attacked. However, the class has no ability similar to an Ironbreaker's Oath Friend. A Blackguard's hatred can rise from 0 to 100, just as an Ironbreaker's grudges can. Various abilities can be triggered by using hatred instead of action points, while others are more effective with more hatred built up.
    edit Masteries
    [edit] Path of Malice

    Following the path of Malice means mastering ones rage and molding it into a powerful weapon. The Black Guard who embrace Malice are capable of unleashing powerful attacks fueled by their Hatred. Frequently seen on the front lines, these Black Guard traditionally wield powerful halberds which allow them to cleave through steel and flesh alike.
    [edit] Path of Loathing

    The Path of Loathing is one of disdain for others, and embracing the belief that none can defeat you on the field of battle. As such, Blackguard of this mastery become unconquerable obstacles that even the most potent of offense will break against. Those who embrace Loathing prefer to work with a tall shield and a strong sword so they can relish in the ringing sound of futile blows falling on hardened steel.
    [edit] Path of Anguish

    Those who master the Path of Anguish master pain itself. This allows the Black Guard to shrug off even the most potent of magical attacks that would normally pierce their finely crafted armor. Masters of Anguish are traditionally chosen to serve as the Witch King's personal executioners seeking out and destroying the arcane powers that would wish to strike their liege down.

    To be honest Warropriests look about twice as metal as DoKs

    DoKs just don't look that cool. Plus the warriorpriests have hammers.

    when you'll get the collector's edition there will be a WAR comic inside

    it is pretty neat

    but something I noticed there pissed me off

    every race was supposed to have its own flying beast thingy

    humans and elves were supposed to fly on majestic griffins and hawks, and chaos and dark elves would have pillaged the skies with unfathomable chaos spawns and strange serpent-bird things

    but they didn't implement them for some reason

    there are probably textures and sound files and everything for them in the game's data, but they're just not in there

    why

    Most of destro flies on the wyverns

    except for the magus, which considering the magus shouldn't have a special disc for flight, it should just be their normal disc

    One capital city per side is enough. It fits in with the fluff of the game and it works gameplay wise. Yeah, it would be nice to visit the other places but that isn't what this game is about.

    I can't tell. It's just a blank screen telling me that one of my characters has a duplicate name

    It's either a black orc, a marauder or a squig herder though, since they're the only ones I have on that specific server

    Yeah it's gotta be either a Black Orc or a Squig Herder. The Marauder showed up in my account management so it's not in limbo like these other two.

    So, a good name for either a goblin or a big black orc?
