If Goreshade turned good and found elf Jesus I will be very put out.

I suppose it depends on what alignment you consider the Retribution's 'death to magic users' agenda to be.

So I guess the real question is, What type of caster will he be? Mounted? Battle Engine? Standard? Unit?

Holy jebus, if Field Marshall Arcane Vortex is accurate, that's damn powerful.

Ret is getting a boatload of new releases, including a Nyss unit, and 2 Nyss solos (one might be a CA). For those not on the Ret FB group, I threw them up on imgur: imgur.com/a/ZqaVGOh, and Goreshade 4 has Revive and Field Marshall Arcane Vortex.

I start picking up my Ret collection again just in time to buy a bunch of stuff that I wish I could buy for my legion.

GZ, Ret. This all looks amazing.

This is such an amazing selection of models I can't wait to see their actual models. The Facebook page has summaries of some of their abilities. I am excited for the solo with Elite Cadre Nyss: Immunity Cold and Nyss plus +1 to hit in his command.

Random thought: Hydras will be handy for Arcane Vortex because we're never wasting resources by leaving unused focus on them.

That is a really good point actually, just having a single one of them sitting with your support pieces can do som really good work both at protecting them and still getting shots off.

Chimeras also have a little value in leftover Focus with their Phantasmal Field (+1 DEF vs ranged/magic per Focus) - not as nice as the Hydra, but assuming that he has a half decent attack spell (Hex Blast?) then it'll be a reasonable model to include.

I don't think fm arcane vortex is as nuts as everyone is saying. It's great on him, but in order to be useful on his jacks it's going to require an insane amount of focus that he now can't use. Situationally brilliant, but to expensive to use well with our focus hungry jacks

Bear in mind we have Arcanists and the House Shyeel Arcanists unit blurb says they have Empower too. That's 6 caster-independant focus, plus Ghyrshylld's (presumably) 7.
It's one of those things that will be epic into the right match ups, like Haley2/3, but otherwise nothing to write home about
