<p>Since Astromarine was worried, Black Hole Entertainment decided to reassure everyone that Warhammer: Mark of Chaos <em>will</em> be featured at this year's E3.

They'll meet on the field of battle and animations commence that show their fight. Each combatant will have special abilities that can be used in dueling as well so players don't feel completely out of the loop.
