The Dice Tower podcast posted two videos today, a news video and a preview of the rewards for their Kickstarter project, that showed some cards from the upcoming Forcemaster vs Warlord expansion for Mage Wars. I took a few moments to take some screenshots of the cards, those that I could, and also transcribed the data from the cards and the other material they showed.

Forcemaster
The Forcemaster is a master of telekinetic force and Mind magic. She is more of a lone warrior, but her keen intellect and powers more than make up for her lack of creature support. She is a master of control and can push enemies aside with a glance, hold and crush them with invisible force and even take control of their mind. All battles are won in the mind first, and the Forcemaster has the greatest mind of all.

The Warlord
The Warlord is a master of the art of War. He commands a wide variety of soldiers, from the small but affordable Goblin, to his stronger Orcs, to his legendary Dwarves with their ingenious devices. He augments his forces with fortifications, war machines, and powerful Earth magic.
The Warlord was raised on the battlefield, it is his home, and all who meet him there will surely know it
Fortification
He’ll use conjurations like Mangler Caltrops and Wall of Pikes, and the enchantment Fortified Position, to reinforce and protect his territory.
Wall of Pikes is unique be causes it does not block LoS, allowing his Archers to shoot through it. Also, it’s directional, allowing his soldiers to move through it unharmed, while repelling enemy forces.
War Machines
Nothing strikes fear into the heart of the enemy netter than to see the Warlord’s might trebuchet, Akiro’s Hammer, constructed. With a range of 3 zones it is able to destroy smaller conjurations in a single hit, or wreak havoc on groups of creatures.
Attributes
The Warlord has Channeling rate of 9, a Life of 36, and a basic melee attack of 3 attack dice. His subclass is Bloodwave. His is a warring nation who live and die on the battlefield for glory and conquest.
Training
The Warlord is trained in the War school and Earth School. He prefers to direct conflict and to leave the Arcane trickery to the Wizards this he pays triple for Arcane Spells.
Special Abilities
Veterans
The Warlord’s troops gain battle experience as the battle progresses. Whenever a friendly non-Mage creature makes a melee attack on an enemy creature, which destroys that creature, you may place a Veteran marker on that creature. Each creature may only have one Veteran marker on it.
The Veteran marker gives the creature Melee +1 and Armour +1. Plenty of these markers are provided in the set.
To get the most out of this ability, the Warlord will need to carefully time his attacks, thus ensuring that each of his creatures can gain a Veteran marker. This ability works best when he has a large number of creatures on the battlefield.
Battle Orders
Once per round the Warlord may pay 1 mana and cast one of the following quick command spells. The chosen spell affects all friendly soldiers in his zone at the time it is cast and the effects last until the end of the round. To Battle!: Gain Charge +1 trait ? Volley! Gain Ranged +1 trait En Guarde! Gain Melee +1 and Armour +1 while guarding.
