Mythic Entertainment has announced details of Warhammer Online's new Heavy Metal in-game event, as well as details of the new Knights of the Blazing Sun and the Black Guard classes. All of which will be implemented in the game in November.

The Age of Reckoning has dawned

Across the Old World and on the island home of the High Elves, bitter enemies clash in bloody skirmishes and mighty battles. For the soldiers of Order and Destruction, there is no respite and no mercy. Now, the warring factions will gain new allies in the form of the fearsome Black Guard and the cunning Knight of the Blazing Sun. These heavily-armored soldiers race to the battlefront to anchor their realms' defenses and ensure that for every inch of ground given, the enemy pays in bitter blood.
