Looks like about $360, assuming the spears are a $30 buy and assuming I start with 1 of each, and given the fact that I don't need Elara or the softcover book. You sure? If you take one of each, without the book and Elara, it adds up to 260$ before any form of taxes. Before buying anything, I strongly suggest looking at the theme forces in the book. They will pretty much dictate the must haves if any of them are good.

I see nothing... trolling or different os? Or just wacky warroom antics.

You might have to manually update it.

Did you use the "check for updates" option psycomonky? I can't since I'm out of data on my phone but the stuff is all over FB.
For those of you who have looked it over I have a couple quick questions on the Houseguard Theme. 1. The theme says for every 20 points of Houseguard models/units you get to add "one Houseguard weapon crew unit, command attachment, or solo to the army free of cost". Does this mean any solo (like Sylys) or just Houseguard solos?
2. What is it called the pic I saw didn't show the name.

War Room says all solos available to the theme are eligible for being chosen for being free. And it's called Defenders of Ios.

All of this is looking really really good, Both themes seem fairly solid though the mage hunter theme seams a little weak but I guess you can get Eiryss and Narn for free so thats not that bad. As for the new models? I am super Excited for everything Nyss, I have always loved the Nyss hunters and with +1 to Hit they just got a whole lot better and the Defenders provide a solid melee wall for them to stand behind. Spears look to be a solid unit albeit a little bland for a character unit but I feel like they could go well with 4shade and Revive. As for the Arcanist Unit? Just wow... So much focus... and Aelth Vyr seems like a solid addition. All around I am really excited for the new releases I just can not wait for a Nyss theme as I feel it could be really good. Well there we go done rambling super hyped.

So thoughts after a couple hours
Ghyrrshyld: Solid caster, not sure he's gonna be casting Revive much with our infantry and that cost but the rest of the kit is decent. Seems a bit split between jacks and infantry but I'm excited to try him out tonight.
Hemera: Hooollly crap how did she make it through testing at this cost? Rahn and Issyria love her to death, I see basically no reason not to take her with Issy anymore. Any caster that wants to do a lot of offensive casting wants her for the empowered node (3 Blinding Lights!) and she also just randomly has Marked Target and Crit Dispel for poops and giggles. Only downside is melee output but at 16 points I find it hard to care, just take another beatstick.
Aeryth: I do like his kit, especially Last Word, but I'm not sure he'll ever be worth the cost if you're not taking Ryssovas.
Priest of Nyssor: I like him in the Nyss boat but again he's probably not worth it without them. Winter Storm is baller though, my Legion friends are nervous.
Ellowuyr CA: Heeelllls yes. I was really hoping this would give me a reason to play the Swordsmen because I love their models and I think he definitely does. Practiced Maneuvers is nice but the minifeat is great. Plus out first CA that has a weapon on the Standard Bearer (you pay for that though).
House Shyeel Arcanists: They're solid. I'm not sure I'd reach for them before the solos but in super spammy lists having both puts you way up on Focus. Force Barrier keeps them alive I guess but I'm not sure it's worth the extra point.
Ryssovass: Seem really, really good. In their full boat with both solos they're tough as nails and crazy accurate. Little on the slow side but nothing is going to hold a zone like a unit of these guys and Aeryth. Don't even understand why they have weaponmaster but it's great.
Spears of Scyrah: Kinda disappointing. Nothing really fluffy about them, they don't even have names. Shield Guard on an ARM 11 unit seems really weird; I get that it helps triggers Vengeance maybe but is that worth losing 1/3rd of the unit? A single P+S 11 Weaponmaster attack per model is a bit underwhelming. Assuming you can attach Eiryss3 (War Room won't let you but the rules seem to indicate that you should be able to) they might become interesting as the cheapest way to get her on the table.
Fane Knight Guardian: Ungh, yes. Everything yes. So many casters are gonna love this guy; Guard Dog and Shield Guard is already good for 4 points and then Total Devotion just cranks it up to 11. 13/20 Shield Guard that's immune to knockdown? Thyron and Elara say "hello".
Defenders of Ios: Also yes. Free Issyen (because reasons!) and Reposition on Stormfalls is fantastic. No Warjack restrictions and you can take the Swordsmen if you really want to. I can see myself running this a lot, might need a second unit of halberdiers.
Shadows of the Retribution: I'm... not sure. Mage hunters haven't been great since MkIII dropped and I don't think this makes me want to run Infiltrators. Warrior melee attacks gaining anti-Tough and RFP is really good, it's just that it's... Infiltrators. I'm sure someone will come up with something cool, but this one definitely isn't for me.

Infiltrators are great in theme: 20 attacks with gang and no tough for only 13 points is golden.
