The Altdorf Gunnery is the premier training grounds for Engineers and Witch Hunters. We will train you in tactics and strategy, guns and melee, and even drinking and interrogation.

I have been waiting for Warhammer Online since it was announced and it is finally right around the corner. I was never able to get into closed beta but it feels right going into the game with only a vague idea of what is in store. I have been playing MMO’s since 2002 and I am hooked on them now. I used to play Dungeons and Dragons Pen & Paper, various RPG computer games like Baldur’s Gate and Elder Scrolls III but now it is mainly MMO’s for the human interaction. I still play the game that shall not be named but I have come to a point where all I want to do is play on and off with my main to get some new pet, tabard or accomplish some other small goal.

My first MMO was Earth and Beyond. I loved that game. I played the class that is basically a gatherer with some cool support skills. Then something happened between the producers and the programmers and the game went poof. Very quickly… My next game was Dark Age of Camelot. I spent a lot of time playing it. I played a Minstrel for a while, then an Animist, and finally a Healer. When the game that shall not be named came out, I moved there with my friends. I have to be honest. I have had some great times there. However, it is time to move on.

When Warhammer Online started coming out, up until a few weeks ago, I was a die hard Greenskin Fan. In fact, I was dead set on playing the two goblin classes, Shaman and Squig Herder. I still like the way they look but something on the side of Order kept catching my eye. Guns and Explosives. I love the fact that the Witch Hunter and Engineer are two classes that have entered the Renaissance with a vengeance. I am very fond of Alexandre Dumas and other works similar to his. I could not resist the pull and so here I am.

I hope to make the Altdorf Gunnery the premier source for all things related to the Engineer and the Witch Hunter. I may even delve into real world history of weapons they use. I’ll mix in the adventures of my own characters along with news and instruction. I may be a little slow in posting at first as I have yet to play the game but you should start seeing regular posts soon after launch.
