If every faction were to get a Structure like the new Trencher one, what do you think it might be?
Me, I'm struggling to imagine what Cryx would do with an immobile huge base ... especially if it's supposed to tie in with the next Cryx theme, which I expect to be Satyxis.
Then again, maybe they'll just do asymmetrical releases and Cryx will simply never get one. They did say something like that, after all. But anyway, we're here to guess!

I thought they said that not everyone will receive a structure?

I thought they said that not everyone will receive a structure? Eh. That most likely means not everyone will get a structure, yet.

If satyxis would get a structure it would be easy to figure out. It would be the front of their pirate ship and it would have a little swivel gun and it would have the thing that is usually a lady that goes on the front of the ship and it would give some inspiring presence.

They don't forget about Convergence, silly. They willfully ignore it.

I thought they said that not everyone will receive a structure? It just means that they'll forgot Convergence of Cyris exists again. They're one of the few armies I could see getting a structure. I don't see Trolls, Legion or Skorne getting any because Trolls and Legion are nomadic and Skorne are aggressors so those three wouldn't be in any one place to set up a proper structure. Circle I can kind see some kind of stone magic thing like an immobile fulcrum or standing stones. Cryx I suppose is iffy because again they're more of an invasion force than a defending one but at the same time they have hidden bases and stuff. Khador I can't imagine. A winter guard pillbox? I mean the Cygnar one has a giant cannon and reinforces stuff so that rules out cannons and reinforcements for Khador. Maybe a Khador mechanik station that repairs stuff? A medic station that goves models Tough in a radius? Protectorate it's safe to say that it will involve miracles and/or fire. My question is how do you explain two opposing armies having structures? How did they build them within shouting distance of each other? Maybe they outsourced the construction to a third party company and they never thought to report it to the army.

I can totally see cryx having some weird structure, a spindly thing they plunked on top of a graveyard that poops out zombies or something.
Khador? Maybe some greylord thing could happen. The pillbox is also pretty obvious, but differentiating it from the blockhouse would be difficult.
Menoth's is extremely easy. The guardians of the temple need a temple to guard, and another set of miracles to go with. You could also have one of the weapon caches described in the fluff. it could hand out more powerful one use weapons or something.
The main issue, to me, is that they've introduced buying not just structures but permanent, unremovable terrain. That's extremely powerful, it's been done with arguably the best kind of terrain for said faction, and a lot of lists won't be able to answer that.

Guys guys you're all wrong. The protectorate one would be just a wall.

For Cryx, how about the fortified entrance to one of their underground lairs? That's the concept I used for this piece of home-made terrain:

Skorne could have a command tent or some kind of errected fortification that looks hastily built. The trolls could have a kriel stone ruin. Legion could have a spawning pit or some kind of burrowing terror. Like a bigger immobile version of their grabboid model.

Satyxis, a lightning fast bunch of raider ladies, would be ill served by a large, immobile object. It just doesn't fit their theme to me.

I thought cryx would be an easy one, just something that pumps out mechanithralls or other cheap thralls every turn, much like a necrofactorium. I mean there were tunnels all over the place that housed hundreds of thralls in the fluff, right? I could see the mercs/cephelyx getting the same thing only for drudges.

I'd like to see convergence get some sort of generator that they use to power the jacks. Vectors are basically smart cars. They don't run on coal but they have to be charged from the energy in their temples. The huge base could let vectors power up in a short distance and have some sort of lightning gun like the conflux has.

This reminds me, does Convergence have a non-vector model that acts as an induction relay? Or perhaps a tower that extends the range of induction to models nearby?
