For those of you who don't know, the June releases for Ret have shown up in the face book group so I thought we should talk about it. We got a 10 man unit of Nyss spearmen, 2 Nyss solos, The Fane Knight caster attachment, a character Mage Hunter unit, a unit of arcanists, Hemera, The House Ellowuyr Swordsman, HES command attachment, and Goreshade4. Personally I am excited for the expanding of unblighted Nyss as a subsection. The Facebook page also has quick summaries of what all they do if you want to go check it out.

Holy Balls! I'm excited about all this new Ret stuff. Summary of what I could glean from the Trade points:
Lord Ghyrrshyld, The Forgiven. -Field Marshall [Arcane Vortex] -Revive -"is able to surround his army in intense cold, freezing any who dare close with them to do harm" I expect this is flavour text for his feat and might do something like make enemies who end their activation next to or kill one of your models stationary.
Aelyth Vyr (Ryssovass Defender Solo) -"Strong Melee solo"
Priest of Nyssor (Solo) -Winter Magic -Elite Cadre gives Nyss immunity to cold. -Spell give nyss +1 to hit rolls
Fane Knight Guardians (Warcaster Attachment Solo) -Guard Dog -Shield Guard -Total Devotion. Grants the Guardian +4 ARM and immunity to Knock Down while within their warcaster’s command range -4 PC
House Shyeel Arcanist unit -Empower -Repair (d3+1) -"manipulating kinetic force for both offense and defense" Fluff blurb I hoping means they have some 3rd ability that's like Ret Choir.
Spears of Scyrah (3-Woman Character Unit) -Shield Guard -Vengeance -"Excellent Melee ability" -9 PC
Hemera (Issyria's Character Jack) -"Empowered Arc Node ability makes it an ideal warjack for spellslinging warcasters" No idea what this means but I'm excited. I hoping for Arc Node gun a la the Desecrator or Vayl's Oraculi. -Mark Target -Bond: Free Upkeep.
Ryssovass Defenders (Nyss Unit) -Tough -Weaponmaster -10/16 PC -Aelyth Vyr gives them the Hard rule. Some kind of Anti-cavalry tech.
House Ellowuyr Swordsmen (with CA) -Blurb describes the base unit's abilities that we already know but doesn't indicate what the CA will add.

G4 sounds amazing with that field marshal. It also sounds like we will have recursion in faction which is very exciting with our infantry. One thing we have never really had was staying power, other than maybe V2 griffon spam.
I am curious what the Arcanist unit will do, but I confess I was hoping a "new shyeel unit" would be more battle Mage-like than mechanic. The blurb says they are a little of both, but they are holding wrenches....so I guess we will see. I really wanted a UA for battle mages.
The Nyss unit looks incredible, I will buy them for that alone. I am not sure we needed another melee unit, but tough weapon masters supported by the healer and with recursion from G4 sounds pretty awesome sauce. What does "Hard" do? A Nyss caster with winter spells is intriguing. Hopefully a new toy for Rahn lists. I agree that expanding the Nyss was a great way to go, and with 2 units and 3 solos floating around a theme seems likely. I wonder if there is a Nyss caster in the future.
Do we know what an empowered arcnode does?

Hemera (Issyria's Character Jack) -"Empowered Arc Node ability makes it an ideal warjack for spellslinging warcasters" No idea what this means but I'm excited. I hoping for Arc Node gun a la the Desecrator or Vayl's Oraculi. -Mark Target -Bond: Free Upkeep. I'm hoping that it's Thorn's Arc node ability. Ala you can Arc through it even whilst engaged.

That would be pretty sweet too. But I suspect that's not it because that ability exists and it's not called Empowered Acr Node.

I'm guessing some DEF or ARM bonus against impact attacks and/or cavalry charges. Maybe immunity to Impacts. Edit: Hard is on the Fenblade Kithkar: "This Model does not suffer damage or effects from impact attacks or collateral damage"

The hardest part of all of this is having to wait until June to get it all.

So you can find someone who wants one of your kidney in order to afford all of this?
