I believe he's supposed to come out sometime in December.
What we know so far:
He has prey.
Is most likely Fury 7
Spell list:
Artifice of deviation
Deadeye
Warpath
Vanish
Scavengers blessing- Model unit gains Pathfinder and prowl.
Cant wait to find out more about him. Hoping he elite cadres prey for reavers or has some kind of ranged damage feat. That or a feat that let's his army ignore common anti shooting tech.
I like winds of death but I see way to much stealth/passage/windwall to ever play it competitively in my area.

Jog my memory on what Deadeye does...

Winds of Death plus Deadeye... wow! Additional Die on First Ranged Attack. I'm intrigued.

Yup seems great with slingers, or even with the ranged cataphracts. I think mobile cover is also just what you need to actually deliver acuari.

The feat is a big deal. Skorne shooting has nothing but at most two copies of eyeless sight from extollers. It's a significant bottleneck, though only to unit based shooting. Deadeye on slingers to use flare could mitigate this if the feat doesn't.
I really like having a unit with prowl, a unit under artifice, and the winds theme wall. That's three guaranteed sections of cover.
Not needing a krea is a big deal. With the hemes swift Hunter combining with warpath, beasts might not need a gladiator either.

Full Reivers + UA, a Turtle, and a Dakar is 40 points exactly for Winds of Death. I think he wants to run beast heavy thanks to Warpath.

Less points for beasts. Doesn't get swift Hunter either. Swift Hunter and war path together makes me want to take a pair of Cannoneers. They were too slow before, but not with an extra 5" every turn they shoot. From what we've seen, jalaam does less for reivers than any other shooting unit. Rerollable cra doesn't need deadeye. 23" away from what they shot means they don't need cover. He does a lot for slingers though. The rest of his kit could help out reivers, though they are good and independent and don't need help much. |

Reivers don't always necessarily need Dead Eye when they are using CRA to break armor, but it's really handy when you want them to mow down a line of single wound infantry. Dead Eye makes them essentially RAT 8.5 (9.5 with a Dakar) without aiming. And if they don't need Dead Eye you can drop it on the free Catapult so it can hit heavies reliably at POW18.
As for the turtle, I like it because it can do a lot of work without any warcaster support at all. All it needs are 3 paingiver whips and it's fairly self sufficient. Plus it's a great distraction. But I was also thinking of an Aradus Soldier because SPD3 is pretty slow, but SPD3 with a Warpath move courtesy of another model is not shabby and it hits pretty hard and is very resilient.

I haven't seen anything to prove it but there's a thread in the FB group right now claiming that his feat is Star-Crossed for all attack rolls targeting models in his control.
Not quite what I was hoping for but it should make his army almost untouchable to other ranged lists.

Can't find the link, but I saw something that said they are currently testing attacks targeting models in his control get one less die.

Primus is going to like def skew imho.. AoD, feat potential one less die on attack.
Cats with cover are going to be sick. The can tank a few AoE's
Karax min unit to give girded to your swordsmen hiding in the AoD.
Slingers + deadeye wow! acid bath on a stick!
on the beasts
Krea will take even the gladiators in the AoD to DEF 16! hunters miss half the time!
Archidon both for sprint and its our best DEF skew beast.
You'll probably be reaching for Despoiler out of theme just to balance the lack of ARM love warpath for the non-linear threat extender is nice!
...
interesting out first range caster..
