So if anyone has seen the information about the ret book coming out in June, you know that there is a bunch of new Nyss stuff hitting the scene. They are confirmed to be partisan ret and are mercs at the very least however I have also seen it said that they are minions as well. So based off that who looks forward to running an army of Nyss and who are you going to play them with?

I think those new warrior models actually look pretty cool. I'd be tempted to pick a unit up.

That'd be interesting if it was true. Did they confirm they were merc/minion both or just partisan merc?

They are merc partisan ret for sure, but I'm not certain about the minion fact, though it seems reasonable to me

Where is it confirmed they are mercs?

Yeah, I've heard the opposite: that they are just Ret troops.

So I can't confirm this as actual fact, I apologize for that, I only saw two people on Facebook say as such. So lets assume they aren't and be pleasantly surprised if they are.

Ryssovass are a class in IKRPG unleashed (ie the hordes/wilderness side rather than warmachine/civilization), so it seems at least reasonable that they'd be minions?

A thought that people seem to be missing: Partisan doesn't have to mean Merc/Minions.
They could very well be Khador/Ret partisans. Or some sort of weird Legion/Ret.

I think they are meant to be in line with the Nyss Hunters; so definitively not Legion models. But that should make them minnion/merc taken by the same factions as Cylena and gang. At least that would make sense.

Well, its also important to remember that Cylena Raefyll and the Nyss Hunters were way before this apparently new direction for other Nyss stuff.
If the Priest of Nyssor, Aelyth Vir, and the Ryssovas Defenders are meant as a package, then the only way I see the Ryssovas jumping ship to Mercs/Minions is if other models are.
Conversely (and this is important to keep in mind), they could just be Retribution infantry. The explanation in fluff was that they came to Ios because Nyssor was there. There could be all sorts of other things going on in the future fluff as well (because if Goreshade can get resurrected, some other Nyss can get unblighted), but the one thing I can't see is them working for other factions, because there's only one where their god resides.
Cylena and the Nyss Hunters, AFAIK, just kind of hate Everblight and are willing to work for anyone who hates Everblight.
Ultimately, we'll have to see though. Just based on the very limited information we have about them, I have a hard time seeing them working for Mercs/Minions.

I know this isn't an official release schedule but it is what I normally go by and it does have them listed as Ret models not Merc/Minion. I hope they are both as it makes buying into Minions easier for me but I doubt it'll happen. www.warmahordesreleaseschedule.com
