Today Bioware, Games Workshop and EA announced a new, free to play spin-off of Warhammer Online called Warhammer Online:Wrath Of Heroes. Beta invites start in around 2 weeks, so get signed up now if you are interested.
From what has been released, it appears to be an arena style game with set hero characters. Each character will have ~5 abilities that can be used and will be instant cast or channelled.
The big “sell” for the game is the 6v6v6 style game where 3 groups fight it out in fast paced action. When you die you can choose a different hero as a strategic move to help your team. There appears to be some progression/exp for unlocks of abilities etc.. but we will need to wait on more details for that.

Wish it could have gotten more support, scheduling was just too much of an issue.
