[Hrafn]

Probably going to buy the Cygnar one because I want to be able to play my small Cygnar force. Not too excited as my main WH army is RoS, but I am looking forward to seeing the Tiers for Cygnar. If there is a lightning or storm-based one (which I take it there will ), I just might be tempted to add a few minis to my collection. Especially if there is some new Storm Knights or similiar. But it's certainly not going to be one of those disappointing Cygnar plastic jacks.

On the fluff side, I am guessing that the Cygnar book is where it is hinted what Magnus has been doing lately. Considering that Vinter has apparently betrayed him, it will be interesting to get to know what Magnus intends to do. Speaking of Vinter, Cygnar might also be the one where it is hinted what Vinter is up to after being thrown out by the Skorne...

Lastly, there is of course a cursory interest in what the new Caster is like.

EDIT: For Hordes, it's Legion, of course....

[loveless]

I'd actually guess that the Mercenary book would give more insight into Magnus than the Cygnar book would - unless you mean his actions against the Wonderswans and how they interact with Vinter's constant threat/annoyance.

===============================================
Cygnar.

Courage and Honor

Known as the Jewel of the Iron Kingdoms, the great nation of Cygnar is beset by enemies on all sides. Against these threats stands the elite army of the Cygnus, including battle-hardened trenchers, deadly long gunners, and the legendary Storm Knights, warriors whose weapons bristle with lightning. Armed with the most advanced mechanika in the Iron Kingdoms, the stalwart and courageous soldiers of Cygnar stand resolute against those who seek to destroy their beloved homeland.

Take up the fight for the Cygnus with Forces of WARMACHINE: Cygnar, featuring:
• Complete faction rules and profiles for using all current Cygnar models in WARMACHINE Mk II.
• New troops to bring to the fight, plus the all-new warcaster Captain Kara Sloan Link.
• An in-depth look at the history and structure of Cygnar’s military.
• A painting and modeling guide to help you ready your forces for battle.
• Cygnar Theme Force lists and rules, which allow you to create armies based on specialized forces from the nation of Cygnar.

Available in softcover (PIP 1023 MSRP $34.99) and hardcover (PIP 1024 MSRP $44.99).

Unleash the Power of the Storm!

[Hrafn]

Probably, but since the Mercenary book is last, one can only hope there is hints sooner, and the Cygnar book seem most likely. After all, Magnus is story-wise linked to both Stryker and Caine.

Is the new Retribution book Mark II ready? If not, will that be in the main Mark II book? Sorry for the odd question, thank you.

[loveless]

The current Retribution book is already Mk. II in format.

The main Mk. II book - Warmachine: Prime - will have the same contents as the original Prime + the new Heavy for each faction, if I remember correctly.

Note that the Retribution is not supposed to be included in Prime - although Eiryss should show up if they want to make it like the original.

Is there a particular reason for this?

[loveless]

Is there a particular reason for this?

I don't recall, other than PP's wanting to keep Prime "Prime" - if I can find the quote, I'll post it here. Otherwise I'll go digging and figure out if they are going to put the Retribution in.

As an aside, however, we won't see anything new for the Retribution until after the 9 other Forces books are released - i.e., when they go back to story-based supplements.

EDIT:

Here we go

The Retribution will not be a part of Prime Mk II, and all the Prime models will be in their respective Force Books.

No, there is simply some overlap. We felt it was still important for new players learning the rules to have access to all of the original models in Prime (plus an additional new warjack for each of the four original factions), as these provide a good initial starting point to understand the game and get a feel for the factions. Additionally, it would make the force books less useful as a reference if those models were excluded.

For example, Commander Coleman Stryker will be in both Prime Mk II and the Cygnar Force Book.

[Dais]

im excited about all the new cygnar stuff. ive heard of some storm knight with an even larger version of the stormguard leader's gun, a new trencher unit, and of some new stormsmith guy. all this is way more than i expected to get out of a faction book and may not even be all of it. i wasnt looking for anything but resculpts and a new caster.
the new nemo sculpt that will probably be released concurrently with the book looks amazing as well and between that and his epic would say nemo is over all our best looking caster now.

it is disheartening to hear that retribution wont be in prime 2, they go through all the trouble to make a fifth faction then dont treat it like anything more than a merc contract. i do have a feeling eiryss might be pulled from the merc section of prime in favor of madelyn corbau or whatever her name is.

i would love to see a table of contents for both books.

[Dais]

that still disappoints me, it gives me the feeling they dont take retribution as a legitimate faction and that it has a high chance to get the dark eldar treatment.

[Emeraldw]

that still disappoints me, it gives me the feeling they dont take retribution as a legitimate faction and that it has a high chance to get the dark eldar treatment.

That is somewhat concerning.

[canucklhead]

Doesn't concern me at all. When GW pulls something like this, I get concerned. When PP tells me that they are doing something to keep costs manageable, and to get the product to me on time and as promised, I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt.

This is what happens when you earn someone's trust.

===============================================

[AndrewGPaul]

I don't see why they couldn't do a Minions book. It just means you'd need the Minions book in addition to the faction book of your choice.

Alternatively, they could simply include all the Minions who'll work for a given faction in that faction's book. That does make things awkward for those Minions who'll work for Warmachine factions, though. Or they could just stick 'em in the Mercenaries book.

[Hrafn]

Despite being a bit off-topic, the case with Minions is interesting and how PP is going to handle it. The marked difference in design philosophy between Mercenaries and Minions is quite striking. Has anyone seen an explanation as why PP has chosen no to make Minions similar to Mercenaries? Not that I am negative as such, I'm just curious!

On-topic, I am not really concerned with the omission of the Retribution. I trust PP to return things to normal after the factions books. Though it will be annoying not having new stuff for a long time - good thing there are other pointy ears in the Iron Kingdoms

[loveless]

I don't see why they couldn't do a Minions book. It just means you'd need the Minions book in addition to the faction book of your choice.

The main problem with this is that you cannot make a "self-contained" Minion army like you can a Mercernary army. There are no Warlocks, only Lesser Warlocks.

Putting them in "employer" force books would cause a lot of undo duplication - several copies of the Gobber, Gator, and Farrow rules, plus whatever other units aren't picky about their employers. Similarly, the Forces book should focus on the Force at hand, in my opinion - those silly pig-men have no place in a book devoted to my precious blighted elves

The Mercenaries book is probably the best option, though it may cause some tightness in the testing/release schedule.

It could be, in part, due to the nature of the individuals involved. There are few Minions, story-wise, who have both the capability to be a convincing leader and the "furious" know-how to be a Warlock. Even with the Lesser Warlocks, we see more of a solo with a unique attachment to a single beast - and often those individuals are from lesser races (Wrongeye, Rorsch) or are markedly different from the rest of their people (Brun, Dahlia).

They'd have to introduce a new story, or at least new details, to cover a Minion Warlock. For instance, Mercenary Warcasters all serve smaller factions/nations within Immoren - be it Magnus' Agenda, Rhul, Llael, or the various Pirates of the Broken Coast.

Without crossing an ocean, there seems to be a bit of a tight spot in bringing in another pseudo-faction that would be in touch with their wild side more than their mechanical side. Although, with Blighterghast calling in the Dragons there may be more reason for the lesser tribes of the Immoren wilds to rise to the occasion.

[AndrewGPaul]

Yes. So? That's not really relevant to there being a "Forces of Hordes: Minions" book. It just wouldn't be a very thick one.

[loveless]

Yes. So? That's not really relevant to there being a "Forces of Hordes: Minions" book. It just wouldn't be a very thick one.

It could lead people to believe that it's all they need to field a complete army, when it in fact isn't. This is especially true if their new marketing contains any reference to Forces books and Prime being all you need to get a faction army up and running.

Now, if they titled it something other than "Forces," all that potential confusion goes away.

[The Orange]

Yes. So? That's not really relevant to there being a "Forces of Hordes: Minions" book. It just wouldn't be a very thick one.

It would sort of be a misnomer seeing as the Minions aren't a force in and of themselves, thus defeating the purpose of having "Forces of...." books. Honesty I don't see how it's a good idea to have a book that's pretty much just add-on units, it'll only serve to limit their exposure (especially to new players) so I think the only good place for them would be in the Primal book. They may get an unnecessarily large section but seeing as they are pretty much regulated to being used with all of the other factions I don't see where else they can be better put. It'll probably be better for sales as well.
