I have been asked recently by two newer players, "Is there any faction specific fluff collection/book to purchase?" Unfortunately, not at this time. Personally, I've collected a lot of the Trollbloods fluff from NQs, and all the previous books, but I have not seen that collection offered in a purchase-able coherent form.
I believe there is a market for it. Especially in a digital format.
I'm looking forward to other factions' CID [not into Grymkin, there appears to be sufficient fan-dom].
Really looking forward to BE upgrades. Yes, upgrades. The Insider hints make me want to buy two more (Throne and Vault), though I'll wait for rules...

One of the better Insiders I've seen for a while. I'm going to echo Grimolf's statement and say that I wish Will had come out with this sentiment earlier. Still, what happened - happened. No taking that back now.
I have no interest in the Grymkin whatsoever, but am hugely interested in the direction Battle Engines are taking. I look forward to seeing the changes being implemented there. I have high hopes that my Stormstrider may get off the bench in the near future!

As a BIG user of the wraith engine (I have 7 caster kills with it in Mk3!!) I'm really interested in BE getting more love. On the cygnar FB page I was saying the BE will likely be even stronger in the skarre list after the buffs and was surprised to have someone say I was wrong and that the BE will be weaker with the changes because it will go up in points... I was like "uh... if they do that they make it just as unlikely to get played so what is the point of changes..."

This was the comment from fb when somebody asked about which will be the point cost of the BE after the changes So points remain the same, rules are changed to make the current point cost worth it

I was like "uh... if they do that they make it just as unlikely to get played so what is the point of changes..." I would hope they all get stronger. The Double Wraith Engine list is currently a gimmick. It's a very good gimmick that will catch some people off guard, but currently if your opponent has the answer to the Engines in either list you pretty much auto lose. Even reading/listening to battle reports from the major tournament players who were running the list their thought process most of the time was to get them into a good matchup where their opponent had no chance or "my opponent's dice shit the bed & I probably shouldn't have won this game". I would love it if the Wraith Engine became less gimmicky and more of a solid inclusion because it's been one of the most beautiful models I haven't been able to justify buying for the longest time.

I have been asked recently by two newer players, "Is there any faction specific fluff collection/book to purchase?" Well you can tell them to buy the Mk1 and Mk2 faction books. They're pretty cheap second hand, and you can buy the e-book versions on the PP e-book app for like $5 each. Plenty of good fluff. Or tell them to buy Kings Nations and Gods. While it has a lot of stuff for the RPG, it has a solid 40-50 pages of really in-depth fluff for each faction. Just generally, if you want Iron Kingdoms history, KNG is the book to get.

Never thought of grabbing them on the ebook app, thanks for that info
