Mount
From HammerWiki
Cavalry and mounted characters have always been a big part of Warhammer. In WAR, characters are able to use mounts to travel around the game world.

[edit] Racial Mounts
Each race has a distinct type of mount. Greenskins have one each for Orcs and Goblins, and the Magus Career (whose signature Disc will simply become more mutated and faster).
| Army | Race | Class | Mount | Cost | Requirements |
 | Empire | All | Armoured warhorse | 15 G | Lvl 20 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | Dwarfs | All | Gyro Harness | 15 G | Lvl 20 |
 | High Elves | All | Elven steed | 15 G | Lvl 20 |
 | Chaos | Chosen, Marauder, Zealot | Chaos steed | 15 G | Lvl 20 |
| | Chaos | Magus | Flying Disc | 15 G | Lvl 20 |
 | Orcs | All | War Boar | 15 G | Lvl 20 |
| | Goblins | All | Giant wolf | 15 G | Lvl 20 |
 | Dark Elves | All | Cold One | 15 G | Lvl 20 |
[edit] Mechanics
Currently, Light mounts are available for purchase (15 gold) in each Capitol city.
+ All mounts for the Order factions: Dwarves, High Elves and Empire player characters can be purchased in Altdorf from the Mount Vendor at the White Courser near the Guild Registrar NPC.
+ All mounts for Destruction factions: Greenskins, Chaos, and Dark Elves player characters can be purchased in The Inevitable City in a small fenced in plateau across from the flight master NPC.
[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. [1]
Since the Magi 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
At some point in the future, it is supposed to 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.
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.[2]
Leading up to launch, it was stated that Medium mounts would be available at level 30. This was never implemented. There has been no indication that Medium mounts will be added in the future. Heavy mounts (level 40) are currently not in the game, but are expected to be patched in soon.
Prior to launch it was stated that players will be able to attach trophies to their mounts. However, this has not yet been implemented at this time and it is unknown when it will be added.
