I wanted a Sloan Khador/Cygnar Themeforce back when the fluff was all about the join Swan/Anvil vs Cygnar thing.

Deneghra is really a Cygnar citizen right? (Place of birth) She just got turnt before she got the chance to become a Cygnar Warcaster.

Like Khador may be the 1 Faction where all of its light Artillery is FINE. People LIKE the Field Gun and people LIKE The Mortar Crew. We have artillery pie plates in every shape size, angle, form of delivery, flavor, color and dance method! I disagree.
My favorite Khador artillery that Privateer Press has yet to release:
Shape: depends on ammo used (SP10, 3", or 5") Size: Huge base (120mm) Angle: High arcing for round templates, no arc for spray Form of Delivery: cannon (howitzer) Flavor: Man O War (apple for post-battle dessert) Color: Red! (duh...) Dance method: Horse drawn (female human belly dancer for post-battle dessert)
Pretty much I want the Commodore Cannon to become a Battle Engine for Khador, but with a split fork towing tail instead of rolling deck gun. The kit needs to come with 1 or 2 of the Gun Carriage horses, a couple of Winter guard to load and fire the cannon, and some MoW for melee combat.
Khador has enough artillery. Ha ha! That's funny... (Blarg walks off shaking his head and muttering)

Siege 2 will stay blue. I can't see him working for any other faction, even as a partisan. The cannon also looks Cygnaran in theme, but I can't be sure. New Battle Engines?
I know they've had a fair # of casters that work dual-faction recently, Sturgis, Caine 3, Old Witch... but it's a rare trend and that's pretty much it outside of some themes or concepts. They really can't shoehorn casters into multiple factions often, balancing them would be quite problematic if nothing else.
Plus, there are lots of factions that haven't been touched by this cross-faction grouping yet. Menoth (hard to sell this one), Scryah, Trolls, Skorne (sorta), Circle, Legion (probably won't ever happen), Farrow/Gators (or minions in general), and of course Cyriss (which I don't see ever happening, unless it's Nemo4).

Could he be switching to Cryx, to make up for losing shade? No hes still very much alive in the fluff. Cryx already got one of Cygnars casters anyways. Cygnar can have Sturgis back! Hmm, maybe undead Vinter could join Cryx. Or maybe Haley joins with all of her past/ future selves and they merge with Deneghra and her past/ future selves to become some sort of voltron-like mega caster who's also a colossal!!!! Ahem... Say, does anyone know why Egregore is in the pic with all of those sneak peeks?

On the topic of casters switching factions, it's interesting to see some casters move around. But, I'm getting the feeling that PP is making too many too quickly. That said, OW2 and GS4 look pretty awesome. True, but cross faction casters have been a request of the player base since mk1 superiority. I remember Cryx players stating how it would be cool if Caine one day became a pistol wraith caster. They are doing a few in quick succession, but that might be this release cycles shtick. Superiority was cav, collossals was collossals, etc. Sometimes the release cycles have a theme for their "new (ish)" thing. Cross faction casters may be this cycles new thing. Real question is past legion, which is relatively easily explainable in story if you want to, how do hordes casters jump? I can see a troll going druid, but how does another faction jump into trolls? Or Skorne? Fluff-wise, only humans can be druids. Though the trolls and Circle were allies once upon a time, so there's probably still something that could be pulled off. Maybe he'd have a Doc Arc style rule allowing him to bring the elemental lights / EBDTs.

No hes still very much alive in the fluff. Cryx already got one of Cygnars casters anyways. If you mean Sturgis, that was kind of his whole thing. He was a Cryx caster at exactly the same moment as he was a Cygnar caster, so it doesn't really count as taking him. If you mean Caine/Hellslinger, the latter isn't a caster and is supposed to be only a "fragment" of his soul. On a side note, I should really get to reading Mark of Caine. On topic: I don't think Siege is switching, but I also haven't finished reading Kingmaker yet, so maybe I'm wrong. Being a bad citizen and continuing side thread: Where does one find these fluff things to read?

Being a bad citizen and continuing side thread: Where does one find these fluff things to read? skullislandx.com/ - Publishers of most of the Iron Kingdoms stories. Going forward, all fluff will be made through them as there will no longer be fluff stories in rules books. Otherwise, books from previous editions- those things have a lot of story written in them.
