MOW are Medium Sized. That armor looks more slick and elegant then the other MOW armor. Don't count out her being a mobile caster just yet. But heavy MOW are large based. ;D

All MOW are pretty tall. Especially the newer MOW models (As in the real life models are huge. Have you seen the forge seer? Buddy BARELY fits on a medium base. Literally) The Large Based MOW look more like Kharchev!

What makes people think Sorcha is a Horse Caster? I'm like 99% sure its our first medium based caster in a while. Not thinking. Just hoping, PP can make up for all those years without an actual MoW caster by going straight to the best MoW type ever: the Drakhun.

Its like saying "Here is your first Widowmaker Caster! Its a manhunter with the guns as a secondary thing!" Whats the point? The Drahkun is good, but he could have just as well been bad if the rules had shaken out differently. The core concept of the MOW is Man inside power-suit. The horse part is largely irrelevant. I'm hoping that the suit is much more powerful and speedy, enhancing her speed, or giving her awesome abilities, instead of slowing her down.

The Drakhun is more of a MoW than the Manhunter is a WIdowmaker you know :v
I just hope it's not a "here's a SPD 4 Sorscha, hope it wokrs out for you", because if she is speed 4 without an easy and casual way to speed her up she better be baller elsewhere, that has always been the problem of MoW and why Drakhuns were actually good: Speed.
Speed 4 really is terrible most of the time, our jacks get away with it because we can casually speed them up, but MoW have spent 7+ years doing very little of note in the playing community at large.

SPD 6, DEF/ARM/BOX 15/17/15 Probably still has Cyclone, I'm gonna guess the Arm cannon is Rng 8 POW 14. She's probably got a solid STR boost from the armor so Frostfang is probably POW 15-16. No idea on other spells or feat though. I'd like to see freezing grip back and/or a spell granting Freeze to a model or crit freeze to a model/unit. maybe an upkeep version of winter's wind? Feat, it would be honestly really cool just to have Sorscha1 feat on this new chassis. I'm sure that's not it though.

IKRPG stats say that MOW armor is -3 DEF but +10 boxes, +3 STR, and +9 armor.

I'm hoping more of a 15/18/17 that would be unique. And I'm hoping for steady. Freezing grip, Field Marshal freezer or chiller, snow shroud like bearka, desperate pace or shield March, leadership repo3 MoW and dauntless resolve..... If we're dreaming here dream big.

If it's some kind of new armor (why not) I can see her still being fast, because that's her shtick after all... kind of an Ice Queen Iron Man

If we're dreaming here dream big. 15/18 is too much. I'm all for dreaming big, but being realistic is a more interesting thought exercise. maybe 15/17 and 18 boxes though. Cryptix mentioned the IKRPG stats, I could guess more boxes even than that. Snow shroud is interesting and fitting. Dauntless resolve? YES. Field marshal and leadership seems unlikely, but possible. FM: Chiller would be really cool but do we really need MAT 9 Juggernauts and MAT 8 Collossals? I suppose that's less broken than a juggernaut that if you don't kill it you get stationary.

I was initially hoping for a Horscha, but I'm surprised and excited by this model. It will be interesting to see how they mix the very mobile Sorscha with a MoW suit.
The artwork also looks cool. I feel like a lot of the time, in fantasy settings, female characters end up being predominately in lightly armoured roles like rogues and spellcasters, and don't usually end up in tanky, heavily armoured roles, so it's nice to see some female characters in some of the heaviest armour in the game**. As someone who likes to see this, PP is hitting it out of the park with this and some other recent releases/spoilers -- just as long as they don't give her mecha-battle-heels lol...
Can't wait to paint her!
**though I suppose technically all our MoWs could be female under all that armour...
