Warhammer Online - Battle at the Gates of Ekrund - Image 1In order to bridge the tabletop miniature games and the MMORPG, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, the people from EA Mythic and Games Workshop decided to recreate a battle at the Gates of Ekrund.

John Schaffer from Games Workshop crafted a scaled model of the ancient Gates of Ekrund. He based his work on a few screenshots that were from the MMO's in-game environment. Once it was finished, Adam Gershowitz and John Rudy from EA Mythic were tasked to participate in the battle.

This event was a heated battle between the Dwarfs and the greenskins, namely the Orcs and Goblins. Both players waged war as if they were actually playing the online version on the game. Their strategies were as dynamic as it could be. After six rounds, the army of the Dwarfs were able to repel the invading forces of the greenskins.
