I'm really, REALLY hoping they are 10 woman anyway. I know they'll most likely be 3-man given the elite theme and shield guard, but I've been wanting a 10-man melee pig unit for years.

A 10-strong unit of Shield Guards available to every Hordes Faction? Troll players would probably get upset Commandos are almost a melee pig unit?

You guys are totally selling this Yeah, we'd be lucky if we get more of them than 3-man and FA:1.

So do we know what the Husk is? Solo, Warbeast, WA? Also I'd be very surprised if the Valkyries didn't come as a 5box 3 strong unit with excellent stats for pigs. 12/14 with shields. 13/15 with bucklers. I'd think they're probably somewhat comparable with clockwork angels. They want to get stuck in and bully another unit instead of skirmishing though. I'd also be surprised if you don't see another 2 Locks, including Carver2. I'd guess more warbeasts for pigs, maybe a solo or 2.

12/16 5 boxes is not exactly a good statline. Ask Bastions.
Aim higher. Warders.

If cost is low then whatever. If cost 8-9 then I'd be expecting pow 13 with pow 12 or 13 guns. I wouldn't be shocked if they had 17+ armor counting shields, but that puts them into "defensive" units and I don't see it.

Yeah, I agree. I cannot physically imagine pigs getting models without trash defensive stats at this point

Considering that Blindwater didn't get any new toys when Farrow Commandoes dropped, I wouldn't be surprised if Valkyries are the only Farrow-related release in the semi-near future and a proper Farrow drop is a year and a half off. That said, I'd love to be proven wrong! If the rumours about a 'beast-centric Minions Theme are true, though, I think we can almost consider that a Farrow release. Carver and Arkadius should be thrilled to have Nature of the Beast back.

Well Commandos were one unit and Blindwater is looking at 8 releases here? I would expect something else for pigs. Even 4 things would be nice. Although given how mopey Commandos are and Agata's card, I'm willing to wait for a bit...

I wouldn't expect anything for pigs for quite some time. It definitely seems like PP is releasing the models together that fit thematically into a particular theme. So the Thornfall Alliance models will be coming out whenever our next big influx of models hits. Probably a year and a half or so depending on how long these take to come out.

Yeah, that's about my expectation as well. More pig stuff won't be for a while.

Current rumor for pigs is summer-ish 2018; don't believe it too hard though.

Surprised noone has mentioned the Bone Shrine yet from the 3D renders.

Maybe a theme list for Barnabus(which is eBarnabas to everyone else than PP apparently) and/or Carver, that will see Gators and Pigs united for the cause? I mean we are already fighting alongside as Skorne units... Why not do that for ourselves, too? Unfortunately, my prayers were not heard, no REAL arcnode for the gators... Still really looking forward to this!
