WAR's must-have expansion races: Skaven We're still months away from the release of Mythic's Warhammer Online, but already the robust fan community has spent a considerable amount of time debating which of the other Warhammer Fantasy races would be best suited to make the jump from the tabletop to the desktop. Whle the choices are quite plentiful, in my mind, there's no question which race is on the doorstep of gaming greatness; it's those lovably infectious rat-men, the Skaven. |

WAR's must-have expansion races: Beasts of Chaos Where there is Order, there are must be Destruction. Warhammer aficionados will probably already have guessed, but the fourth expansion race that we'd like to see added to Mythic's vibrant-looking game is none other than the Beasts of Chaos. |

WAR's must-have expansion races: Lizardmen We're throwing our weight behind the enigmatic Lizardmen Army to play the Order counterparts to Skaven's Destruction. They've got a number of interesting classes we think would add some unique jungle flava' to the game. |
 |
WAR's must-have expansion races: Wood Elves We'll make the case that the secretive Wood Elves deserve their rightful place at the front of the expansion queue. They've got a bevy of distinct classes that really set themselves apart from the pack. |

Yep... the limitation of the "matchup" game design would be that you have to have to have a reasonable campaign between the order and destruction armies... I don't see skaven and wood elves being quite the complelling face-off that say, Brettonian and Skaven might be.
Of course, the other way they could do it would be to create a new face-off with an existing race.
For example, a new campaign between Empire humans and Skaven, with a different city serving as Empire 'captol' - say... Middenheim. ;)
Or a campaign between WoodElves and Greenskins.
Actually I like that idea... That way they only have to balance one new race at a time.

Chaos Dwarfs! Please allow me to play as a chaos dwarf. I want to walk around the world wielding demonic machinery and wearing a big-ass hat!
