As the topic says the only thing that I recently seen released was a year ago I believe cognifex Ciphon. After a Hiatus I was hoping for a couple more models considering that there was a whole book for the cephalyx. Does anyone know if we're going to be seeing anything soon evening it's just a solo?

Cephalyx is about as limited as Convergence. It is possible that new models will occasionally be released, but there is no fixed schedule.
They do get a pseudo-release whenever Mercs gets a new unit. The dominator is the main source of customization in the sub-faction.
Anyway, there is no present news about a new release for them.

Not exactly - there is a certain expectation that a third caster will get released eventually.
The issue is that the cephalyx designer no longer works for pp so I doubt there's much pressure to get it done.
Personally I'd like to see a colossal monstrosity or a frankenstein's battle engine but I'm not holding my breath.
I have no idea what a new solo would do, though something with arcane vortex or dispel would be good for Thexus.

This is something that I was not aware of I'm guessing that the lead designer was Matt? |

Man he was one of my favorite painters. Hope that whoever picks up the bodysnatchers dose them justice. I realize it's a small part of a smaller army tho. On a side note I have been eyeing the Undercity board game due to the miniatures that come with it. Do you think they could be used for both the intercity and WMH? |

I bought it for the minis. The plastic is soft and flexible. I suggest boiling them (to remove any pressure bends) then dropping them in ice water. It apparently makes them a bit harder. Not sure either way but I did that. The warden with fists is great, the bender is alright, the drudges are not technically either benders or slavers, I figure use as either or as spares. There's two full units of Croe's plus spares and two freebooters which paint up ok. I also converted the light jack into a buccaneer. I thought it was a good buy just for that. The rest are whatever. Bokur are nice but who needs that many, random troll is random, who needs another Gorman.. Etc etc. This is a pp bucc, pp mariner, converted buc and undercity freebooter. As you can see, detail not as great but paints up ok. Plus two units, some solos and three heavies for $120 is alright??  Just test your undercoat on a piece you don't give a shit about. Some solvents mess with the plastic and don't cure - basically the mini stays sticky. Not nice. I had to hardcoat one of the freebooters three times to fix it. |

PP are really missing out if they don't make more for this faction. It is just such good flavour and they could easily increase the scope as it would be damn popular...
They are just so unbearably slow at everything and are concentrating on a lot of new ideas rather then bolstering older stuff.. fingers crossed they get someone to take this subfaction over. Another caster and a few more units would be ace

This was the first time i got involved with Mercs but that does kinda suck if the rest of the faction has ground to a halt due to one subfaction. It would however still be good for them to flesh it out at some point and they seem to be doing "subfactions" as a thing now so they can force us into themes and buy duplicate units etc... |
