What will our next releases be?

Without talking about buffs, most of what Legion "needs" is a way to make its infantry more appealing, a reason to play the CoD theme, and an answer to gunlines that doesn't kill other matchups. We could also benefit a lot from a reliable way to remove upkeeps, and a means to grant pathfinder (even if it's a merc/minion model) - we're really behind on available solos.

I think an Ogrun theme is definitely in the works, as I can't see how they fell as much as they did without something planned to bring them back to the table; I just hope that it also allows the Blightbringer and the spawning vessel. Something to help the Warmongers would be cool - I've never even bothered putting them on the table. I'm not sure what kind of weapon attachments Ogrun would get, but I'd be really interested to see something cool come along.

Legionnaires I think have a similar problem as Ogrun - needing a "buff" to become viable - so I'm not sure what theme we'll get first. A solo could help them out, but that doesn't really feel like enough. A non-character UA or weapon attachment could also be useful.

Non-character Nephilim, definitely - CoD is in rough shape having no access to heavies, making it a beast theme without a competitive means to bring a lot of beasts. It's a weird theme that feels like it's either really relying on future releases (in which case, maybe we should have gotten another theme, instead), or it just needs to get looked at a bit in light of other themes out there.

Vayl is my top hope for character beasts - ideally something that is a tricky toolbox to step up her versatility on the field, and maybe immune to cold for thematic reasons. For Kallus, I'd like to see something that can put out continuous fire (maybe the Ravagore's old animus), and with a crit effect to synergize with Dark Guidance, and considering his "personality" I could see something very efficient in warfare being a good fit. Given the Lylyths that we have already, I think something of a living artillery would be really cool with her - low RAT, but hits like a truck from a significant range - making use of all of her incarnations' kits. Fyanna still feels like a loner... and I haven't thought much about what she needs - something with reasonably high DEF, and a lot of attacks with at least 2" melee, I suppose.

For warcasters, I'd definitely rooting for another Vayl, but I think Bethayne has some really interesting opportunities in design. I'd love to see Vayl on a flying mount... How cool would that be?? Thagrosh3 seems inevitable, unless they invalidate him in the fluff, it's just a matter of when.

I'm hoping for a decent Ogrun theme book next so I can use all of the Ogrun that are sitting on my shelf.

Why do we need Saxon? Just for Pathfinder on our Legionaires and Swordsmen? Hutchuk would be cool.

Talking about Mechanical niche's I think an archer or spear thrower who is not Lylth as a warcaster might be cool. Our casters with ranged attacks are:

Lylth x3 - Really strong shooting
Thagrosh x2 Sprays that are OK, but prefer melee or hiding.
Saeryn and Valy who throw things mainly for awesome special effects.

I love that Kallus character warbeast idea - I'm not sure it can look too good though... may be like the baby scorne elephant... yuck.

I 3 way heavy nephalim kit would be a massive release. I can't imagine that they will do it though. It would be faction changing gaining a whole new faction chassis. But... with the plastic kits and the fact that 2 in one kits are way better than single kits for stock and stuff - a 2 or 3 beast option might be good. In the other factions have they brought out a 2/3 in one kit for a heavy (or light) that doesn't include other old models that get a new model. ie Nerpah and Serpah(new model), Inditor (menoth new) paired with Guardian (old). Growler (new) paired with Khadiak (new), and Purifer (new) paired with Devout and Dervish (old). Multiple new heavies in a kit, that would certainly be bold.

I think an ogrun theme force is almost certain. I could get behind a non- character heavy nephilim perhaps something like the leadership ability that the Bronzeback and the new Skorne character heavy has. Being able to drop a fury would help with nephilim that usually need to fill up to be effective and a theme force with limited fury management tools.

Well if you count when retribution got vyre kit, then yes they have. Though that was for smaller faction at time and was only their second heavy chassis type.

There is hope then. A dual kit is a much better idea than a single kit.
