Ooooooh, new theme forces. Come on Church of Morrow theme for Cygnar! Dual faction with Mercs please! Based on your battlegroup will determine if it is Merc or Cygnar. I find this completely acceptable. Come on PP, your fans are begging for it!

(+)1 for a Zu army. If it's Zu, I'm going to forego buying Crucible Guard. My wife and wallet will be happier

I'm still hoping it will be Zu. I don't know much about Zu from the fluff, but if that's the direction I'm hoping for more jungle beast themed than insect based like I've read others comment on. Maybe some plant-themed ideas with Mantraps or whatnot.
Is there a description of the flora/fauna that somebody could share?

Rather than the morrowan church itself i'd predict we'd get the order of illumination (it's their military order dedicated to fighting infernals etc that versh but not blaize is a part of, similar to distinction between the order of the golden crucible and crucible guard). Unlike blaize they're not cygnaran nationalists and don't involve themselves in the cygnar-khador war (she only gets the sancteum to do so reluctantly and they're careful to deploy blaize to the cryxian front during that war so as not to anger morrowan khadorans).

Infernal faction please... I've been hearing the plea for this one a lot. But with what gobber said, I could see this even more with a whole Morrowan/Order of Illumination CID coming out of it at some point. This speculation cycle has me excited.

I would love to see more release cycles paired with their natural enemies. Another i've been hoping for is a proper llaelese release cycle (say duelists, riflemen, jacks, a couple solos) paired with khadoran "collaborators" theme to represent the various llaelese/khardic/umbrean nobles' armies as seen in the fluff. Allow them access to noncharacter llaelese units as partisans plus kayazy and kommandos (maybe vanguards too for the folks who still have those from mk2). Whisper carbines are all over the place in the fluff, would be nice to have as an elite unit or new WA. Add in one of the aforementioned nobles as a solo or warcaster and take my money.

That collaborators theme idea would be amazing, actually, a merc/partisan focused theme for all the factions would be really awesome

With what was mentioned in THIS article (old news for most, I'm sure), it seems likely the next limited faction will indeed be Zu. Note the fist sentence in the last paragraph: "While written as part of our RPG content, this is the type of article WARMACHINE and HORDES players will want to check out for possible glimpses of the future."

How deep did NQ 71 get into it?
If I'm wishlisting, I would love tribal-type infantry (something akin to Tharn) and jungle themed beasts like jaguars, more snakes, perhaps large apes, tigers etc. Some insects could be cool as well in moderation, I really like the aesthetic of the Blight Wasps for example.
I don't know how much that treads onto Circle's territory though.

Maybe like an Aztec/Mayan theme would be pretty sweet.

Grymkin have arcana, Crucible Guard have all their ammo types/flexibility. Would Zu lean more towards the spell side of things with the religion that NQ article mentioned?

Why would Zu peoples bother with Immoren? they are not close Geographically as far as I am aware, and the Iron Kingdoms seem too busy fighting each other to focus on exploration/colonisation. Is there reason for conflict between the two continents? Am not a fluff reader so curious to know.
