Mount
From HammerWiki
Cavalry and mounted characters have always been a big part of Warhammer. In WAR, PCs will be able to use mounts to travel around the game world. It will be possible to improve the appearance (at least) of mounts with additional equipment.At the moment mounts are confined to the race they are made for. It is not yet known how much difference, if any, there will be between mounts available to different careers.

[edit] Racial Mounts
Each army will have a distinct type of mount, except Greenskins, who will have one each for Orcs and Goblins, and the Magus Career, whose signature Disc will simply become more mutated and faster.
| Army | Race | Mount | Cost | Requirements |
 | Empire | Armoured warhorse | 30 G | Lvl 20 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | Dwarfs | Gyro Harness | 30 G | Lvl 20 |
 | High Elves | Elven steed | 30 G | Lvl 20 |
 | Chaos | Chaos steed | 30 G | Lvl 20 |
| | Magus | Flying Disc | 30 G | Lvl 20 |
 | Orcs | War Boar | 30 G | Lvl 20 |
| | Goblins | Giant wolf | 30 G | Lvl 20 |
 | Dark Elves | Cold One | 30 G | Lvl 20 |
[edit] Mechanics
There will be three types of each Mount: "Light", "Medium" and "Heavy".[1] Whether it will be three separate mounts or upgrading a single mount is unknown.
With the present information Light mounts are distributed at level 20, Medium mounts at level 30, and Heavy mounts at level 40.
[edit] Other Modes of Transportation
PCs will not be able to use flying mounts (such as Griffons or Wyverns), but it has been confirmed that NPC special characters will be seen in the game mounted on flying creatures. [2]
Since the Magus are unable to descend from their discs, they will be receiving a visually different & faster disc instead of a Chaos Steed at the appropriate level.
Players are also given the choice of going to a different tier in the beginning levels of the game.
[edit] Notes
Although there was speculation that WAR will allow PCs to use mounts in combat, following comments from Paul Barnett that both Knight of the Blazing Sun and Chosen careers will be able to fight strongly "with their feet off the ground", it has since been revealed that mounted combat will definitely not be in Warhammer Online at release.[3]
