From the looks of things, a fairly large battle is about to break loose and human and orc forces line up in formation. On the human side, we see a squadron of six knights, led by an Archmage. Meanwhile the Orc force features a Blademaster and three Grunts. This screenshot again shows that Blizzard has made some subtle changes to unit graphics, and hence the Blademaster's sword no longer glowed with the intensity it previously.
What's most interesting here is in the console, where we see a group of units selected for the first time. Judging by the small size of each icon, it looks like a lot more units will be able to be selected at once in Warcraft 3 than its predecessor. Also of interest is that each of the icons feature areas of red, yellow and green. Perhaps color representation of a unit's health will make a return in War3.
