Welcome to the New Home of the Nuln Highway Boys.
 
 
Welcome to the home of the Nuln Highway Boys. The Boys are a Regiment in the MMORPG Warhammer Online - Age of Reckoning.

WAR is a fantastic new game based upon Games Workshops Warhammer Game. Instead of lording over a horde of painted miniatures you will be able to take on the role of a adventurer in the warhammer world

This site will have information for the Boys and serve as its forum To see what we are all about check out thet Law `O the Boys. We are a free warrior company who engages in banditry when times get lean! We are not Chaos Cultists, Necromancers, or any other evil of that type...but we are not opposed to cutting out a coach or fat merchant wagons and ships! So needless to say we are not for everyone! We will intially be aligned with the forces of Order but will also have an affiliate Destruction branch.

The Captain Says   February 10, 2008

2 Years Later

I quit playing World of Warcraft in Feb 2006. I was bored, bored I say! I dint like WOW's pvp and raiding was a real yawn so it basically left me 2 game-play options: Grind Faction Rep or roll alts.

Faction rep is the mmo equivalent of watching paint dry. Kill 1,500,001 mobs and get a crappy blue/purple that nobody would use even if it was free. I will admit the mount rewards were nice but not at that price...

several months ago I received a 10 day, try Burning Crusade Cd. I was a bit curious how my new-ish graphics card would run WOW so I up and installed it.

Engineer Career Masteries:
Engineer
The Dwarfs first discovered the secrets of black powder, and no one can rival them when it comes to putting it to good use. Armed with guns, grenades, and gadgets, the Engineers often prepare traps and ambushes throughout the battlefield before the fight begins, and then quickly dispatch any surviving enemies from a safe distance.

Crossbows were good and fine, but nowadays, a gun is better - and if a gun is good, then an automated self-aiming gyro-mounted gun turret with a cyclic grenade feeder and napalm cannister is even better yet! An Engineer has gadgets and gizmos to suit any situation, and is virtually an entire battle line on his own.
Engineer Career Masteries

Path Of The Rifleman
This path focuses on long-range attacks, and taking your time with carefully aimed precision shots. A master of this path prefers to stand back away from the hectic front lines of battle, and dispatch his enemies quickly and cleanly from behind defensive cover.
Path Of The Grenadier
This mastery is primarily focused on grenades and bombs, powerful explosives which may be quickly tossed into the middle of a fray to wreak havoc on enemies. While their effective range may be shorter than a gun's - after all, Dwarf arms aren't exactly build to throw for distance - grenades make up for this through sheer stopping power and swift arming times.
Path Of The Tinkerer
A specialist in this path is concerned mainly with his deployable contructs, preferring to fight from near the safety of his turrets while he lays out his foes with swings of his heavy steel wrench. Master tinkerers have also been known to use additional deployable devices above and beyond turrets as well, and many are the Engineers who've been banned for life from a blacksmith's forge after trying to test and improve the heat thresholds of land mines.

Black Orc Career Masteries:

Black Orc
Black Orcs love a good brawl, and are always the first ones to charge into the hectic chaos of combat. Over enough generations, this has ensured that the only surviving Black Orcs are the toughest of the tough and the meanest of the mean, resulting in a group known for their brutality and sturdiness even among other Greenskins.

Black Orcs are master tacticians, and brilliant combat fighters without intellectual peer among the Greenskins, for they can actually formulate and follow a detailed and complex battle plan. Some warriors of other races have been known to occasionally point out that a Black Orc's plans somehow seem to consist of nothing more than progressing from "Hit 'im!" to "Oi, 'e's still standing, hit 'im again!", and then back to "Him 'im!" again...but they're careful not to sound mocking or dismissive, for in the hands of a Black Orc, such a plan is crushingly effective.

Black Orc Career Masteries

Path Of Da Brawler
A master of this path believes that the best way to win a fight is through choppin' the other guy into little pieces quickly. He scoffs at the thought of using a shield, since that just makes it harder to swing a massive Big Choppa around, and he doesn't need anything getting between him and his choppin'!

Path Of Da Toughest
A specialist in this path sees the wisdom in using a massive shield and taking care to defend himself against attacks - after all, while choppin' is grand fun, living through the fight so that he can do some more choppin' later is an appealing prospect as well.

Path Of Da Boss
If there's one thing that an Orc Boss can do better than anyone, it's yelling at those who aren't as big as him. A specialist in this path has had long practice at yelling, shouting, and encouraging his group to fight onwards and be strong - although it's still a point of military debate whether the Orc's allies are actually inspired to press forward and fight, or whether they're simply trying to get the Orc to stop his deafening bellows and reeking breath.
