From PP site: Company of Iron is launching this fall with a boxed set containing everything two people need to play the game... cut In addition to the cards, rules, and tokens, the game also includes miniatures for two 20-point forces along with two brand-new character solos that have never been seen in WARMACHINE or HORDES before: Lieutenant Gwen Keller, a valiant leader of Cygnar’s Stormblades who, in addition to her storm glaive, is armed with electrified grenades, and the Farrow Brigand leader Agata... cut Lt. Keller and Agata will both be playable in WARMACHINE & HORDES as well, so be on the lookout for their stat cards to appear in War Room and in our Online Card Database once Company of Iron hits the shelves in October.

So we are getting a new Character Stormblade Capitain armed with voltaic granades...
Let's see how she turns out, at worst she will be a good base for a Maddox conversion.
Let the speculations (and the cryes from other factions since Cygnar gets everything and so on...) begin!

Could be interesting. October is a long way out for me to care too much.
Also unsure about what she might offer our storm division? Maybe veteran leader stormblades? And some grenade types with assault? Who knows? We're getting so many new models.

That's the weird combinations. Although both likes the lightning, but storm knights and stormsmiths didn't share their gears. It is interesting.
And... I don't want to make a sexist remark, but is it better to have a male storm knight? We have already two storm knight models - one solo, and one warcaster - but both are female. The gender does nothing in the war, though.

The gender does nothing in the war, though. We have the Stormblade Capitain and Acosta as male Stormknights. I'm glad she is female, she could work to make a Maddox conversion until PP replaces that obnoxious model.

was there any mention of the brigand model being usable for minions? Cause cygnar and minions are both my side factions, so I'm curious.

The gender does nothing in the war, though. 13/15 Cygnar solos are male. 13/20 casters are male. Just about every model in Cygnar units are male. And I would guess that we have similar ratios for every faction except maybe Legion. And the complaint is that male models are under-represented? More female models is good. Especially female models that get to wear the same heavy armour and swing the same giant swords as the guys. I think it's great.

The point is, 0/2 Storm Knight character solo is male, and 2/2 Storm Knight character solos are female. If include all characters, Maddox just adds female group. I do think that Cygnar needs some female characters, but not on the Storm Knights, which needs needs a male character. Although we have Acosta, but he is not the true member of the storm knight.

Yeah we are several thousand kilometers away from parity at this point Storm. You're pretty far off base here.

Not that I particularly care, but women are overepresented in storm knights and underrepresented in trenchers. The questiom is more aptly put "why are our storm solos female, and our trencher solos male?" Anyway, Cygnar actually has a well mixed group of casters . If you count the actual characters, excluding epic versions, we find that Cygnar has 6 males and 5 females.
