"Chronicles of the Second War: Tides of Darkness" is finally here! Experience exciting gameplay, beautiful locations, and the amazing lore of Warcraft II like never before!
Available at Hiveworkshop:
Lady Mara Fordragon - survivor of Stormwind's destruction, Paladin and hero of the Alliance.
The model is inspired by this beautiful Blizzard art piece, where we assumed this is her.
in CoC the Kingdom of Azeroth will have two sub-factions to demonstrate just how vast and powerful the Azerothien arsenal was.
- The Northshire Protectorate.
- The Brotherhood of the Horse.
special thanks to
@Trolldaeronart
for the concept arts!
some appreciation and acknowledgement of our insane artists, mr.
@handclaw
provided the majority of concept art for the Draenei Units, while
@Trolldaeronart
handled most of the Buildings.
- Draenei Knight Concept art.
For all the Goblin fans... these crafty fellas will definitely play a role in our campaign.
You might not run around with their whole cartel army, besides some WC2 classic units.
But you'll sure as hell will see them in important lore moments and in unexpected gemeplay sections.
figured you boys and girls are hungry for some...Human content right?
perhaps it's good we tease with you with the concept art of Uther The Lightbringer..made by our returning star
@Trolldaeronart
Boyz & Girlz...We reached 10k Subs on Ytube!, Thank you all for your amazing support throughout the years, for this happy occasion, we want to share with you a "tidbit"..
Rise of the Alliance is now -- In Development -- !
this has got to be one of the HARDEST models I've ever worked on, The Temple of Karabor in WoW was already complex but it wasn't "in a finished state" so I had to mix the Black Temple and Karabor in terms of decoration and structuring to come up with this piece!
#repost
due to people asking more about Alliance lack of representation, in reality the current campaign is about the Orcs THEN comes the Alliance, but alas there ya go. :D
a while ago, I teased our Orc Clan icons here, but to be fair they were just a slightly refined touch ups from a screenshot - that were made into icons - however they were shitty compared to what our friend and contributor
@handclaw
by refining them even further with his touches!
With Release on the Horizon, we thought we'd share a teaser of the loading screen that features our insanely detailed world map that was made by our chad cartographer Marthen\Andeval.
a couple of months ago, we asked our friend and contributor
@handclaw
to draw the official Orc Campaign: Tides of Darkness poster, and now he's back again with the Official Chronicles of the Second War poster please give a thundering clap for his amazing contribution to CSW!
serious blood and sweat went into designing the entire Three Dwarven Clans tech-tree, they're available on HIVE Workshop :)
don't forget to watch their showcase video here:
one of MANY iconic places, points of interest and structures featured in CSW were inspired the expanded narrative found in WoW and the novels.
Blackrock Gate by our teammate "Maks\Barorque"
You savage "hordies" definitely felt good while putting all those defenseless citizens of the Human nations to the sword.
well lets see how you feel when the Alliance boys pay back the favor to your villagers.
part of our upcoming patch-changes are visuals, we were finally able to integrate our "WC2-era Accurate" depiction of Deathwing, as in current build we used the HOTS (Cataclysm era) model as a placeholder.
special thanks to
@handclaw
for model assembly.
best of both worlds!
behold our own "concept" of Warchief Blackhand, we took into account his appearance in earlier lore + movie/chronicle depiction and mixed them up to this result.
- he is NOT in CSW, just teasing you of what we have in store for WC1 remake way in advance.
our man
@handclaw
is back again with another Iconic WC2 background!
this was originally used as the "narration mission briefing" during the campaigns, but in CSW we'll find good use to it elsewhere
🐑 Model - Lordaeron Footman
We have cool concepts for many human units. Lordaeron ones are specifically designed to be close to WC2 original sprites and icons.
More exclusive previews and early access to content on our Patreon (link in comments).
an exclusive behind the scenes shot, (NOT FINAL)
isn't this just...beautiful? 😍
special thanks for my teammate Eugene (Tamplier) for animating and optimizing the models for Reforged
Aegwynn the Grand Magna will have some brief appearances in important lore flashback moments.
Meanwhile her character model (both Aluneth and Atiesh versions) are available on Hive:
Ladies and Gents, we would like to tease you something (Yes yes it is release-related content), as we're NEARING that fateful day, we wanted to celebrate with pre-release content that it's gonna be a surprise for all of you, mark your calendar on 6th of december.
Our boy Vincent was on fire these last couple of days, he finished those amazing icons :)
- Utok Scratcher
- Nekros Skullcrusher
- Zuluhed the Whacked
- Tharbek
The original BT was a massive blob of geometrical and texture mess, it was 2007, it made sense at the time, but as with the "uncorrupted" version, it was re-structured from the grounds up to match how it appears in today's canon

Part of the team has been hard at work on working on cinematics. Due to the nature of the work, we don't want to reveal too much (to not spoil you). Please enjoy this Work in Progress from the Editor as a token of love! Cheers!
Quest objectives:
- Make the Draenei look majestic and Alien compared to the other races. ✅
- integrate it smoothly into Reforged Standard. ✅
- make the color pallette similar to how the Draenei buildings appeared in reforged as close as possible. ✅
now that the Draenei Tech-tree is finished, it's time to start the WC1 Orc Techtree, it's gonna be a new challenge to crack! wish me luck boyz and girls!

For all our new fans: while you're anticipating what's next.. for CSW.
you can look far ahead for what has been laid out for the WC1 remake: Chain of Conquest.
Draenei Townhall Tier 2 😄
- yes I previously mentioned that I won't spoil you much about Draenei content, but I didn't say that I won't spoil you with THIS particular building + its upgrades 😉
- Shadi
Currently in the polishing phase, including icons. Turns out, we realized we were missing quite a few custom ones. Enjoy this Bleeding Hollow clan Ambush icon. It's been a while since we showcased any custom icons. Cheers!
