Did anyone manage to grab screenshots of the new Vyre jacks during the keynote? I missed them. Looked like they both had guns though. Edit: here's one from Facebook So RNG 12 ROF 2 POW13 gun with Thunderbolt on a Warjack with flight? Damn son, sign me up. Edit 2: Annnnd 2 "Takes control of models it kills" Yes Attachments:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2IwzOneJuMHere is also the video so people can watch it all for themselves, consider me quite intrigued and pleased. I love the idea of a jack with oracular vision and taking control of models it kills and that the other has flight... I mean just yes, all yes. I hope it means we'll see a Vyre theme force next year.

Is anyone worried that this means the nyss theme or sentinel themes are pushed out 2+ years? Personally i'm somewhat annoyed they are making a push towards themes but releasing models that don't fit in the theme.

Yea, the Siren looks interesting though.

Personally i'm somewhat annoyed they are making a push towards themes but releasing models that don't fit in the theme. Yes, I'd love a Dawnguard Theme right now but if this is part of the "12 days of Christmas"-thing, then it is not related to Themes (if I understood correctly). In fact, Vyre Light fit in two of our three current Themes - and will presumably fit in all future ones as well - so I choose to look on the bright side. I keep wondering if the Harpy will actually hover or simply move about in giant leaps (it doesn't seem to have wings). The guns look good. I think a number of our 'casters will be happy (and a potential Vyre Theme with the AFG and Ghyrrshyld for Mage Sight seems like it might be fun).

Vyre lights have been long awaited and personally I think they look like super solid pieces.

I love the harpy's gun, and of the jack costed 9, maybe even 10, i would definitely use it.
I'm far less convinced by the siren.
Rng 8 guns are difficult to use (Moros isn't very popular), and if the effect is similar to bone shaker i'm not sure i would actually benefit from it more than from the rof 2 gun of the harby. Oracular vision could redeem the model though, we don't really know the model's stats yet.

Range 8 will make it tricky but given that it has Oracular Vision, it may give it a chance to survive some reprisal. Also someone like Ossyan will likely be able to make good use out of it between Admonition and Oracular Vision.

My hope is that the Vyre Theme lists caster choices as all non-Shyeel casters, not just Vyre casters. I've been having a lot of fun with Garryth running a Banshee/Sphinx combo with an AFG. I'm sure adding in a few Vyre lights, Houseguard Halbs and Electromancers would make for a good time on the table.

I'm musing about maybe finally having some jacks worth marchalling. Those rof 2 guns would work pretty nicely with Scyirs and the battle engine. Vacuum ideal situation, they move 3", aim and shoot to 14" twice with pow 15

Vacuum ideal situation, they move 3", aim and shoot to 14" twice with pow 15 I mean, we already have excellent jacks for marshalling - the Hydra is excellent on either a Scyir or an Artificer, and a Banshee can also work, as can Imperatus or a Sphinx in certain situtation.

I think the Harpy will be a nice piece on a marshal with Thyron. Assail/Storm Rager and send them to a zone with a flag. SR17 loves a good combat solo for flags. BTB with his jack a Scyir is a Steady 15/20 P+S14 MAT 8 Weaponmaster with a gunjack that can thunderbolt big threats away.

Personally i'm somewhat annoyed they are making a push towards themes but releasing models that don't fit in the theme. It wont be a problem. PP has said that they will have a Theme list out for every single model in the game by the end of the year. This means the Dawnguard Theme will be hitting CID pretty soon I would think. These two jacks being released are completely unrelated to theme lists.
