That's an awful lot of rules on the Farrow Valkyries. Should be cool!

So I guess the guy on the old forums doesn't have to eat his models since our next warlock is barnabas2.

Also, it's not clear from the earlier picture but Kwaak the conjoined croak can cast twice per turn. Two enlivens is going to be sweet.

As someone who only recently got into gators I am very excited about all of these new releases.

Only six months to the next pig model. Whoo!
I am rather disappointed that the Valkyries are not cavalry. I'm pretty curious as to what they will be though. Shield Guard on a 10 man unit seems unlikely. Will they be heavy infantry and compete directly with the Posse, or will they be something more like Bone Grinders or Slaughterhousers and just be a small single wound unit?
Or maybe solos? Might they actually give us a non-character Farrow solo?
Edit: Nope. Then they wouldn't have Gang. They're a unit. Probably something like Slaughterhousers, or possibly a three person unit like the Greylord Ternion. Which is a real shame, unless their stats are spectacular it'll be hard to justify Defender's Ward on them if that ends up being the case.

I assume they're going to be minion heavy infantry that are fieldable outside of the blindwater pact, which is cool news for everyone. If they're a slaughterhouser-style unit vengeance is really weird, I can't think of any 6-count units with vengeance and no boxes. I was holding out hope for cavalry, but right now I just desperately need something to be optimistic about for pigs

I'd be shocked if they didn't have boxes. Unfortunately I'm also betting on the 3 pig unit; valkyries have a tendency to appear in threes in old norse legends.

If they are a three man (woman? sow?) unit, they remind me a lot of the Spears of Scyrah - although added Tough can be fun. It seems a bit sad to have Veteran Leader on Helga for a 3-model FA:C unit, so who knows? I can imagine uses for them no matter what they are, though.

They'd probably be named in the spoilers if they were character. Even if they're only 3 models, FA2 or more makes them much more interesting. Would also help fill the Helga+Agata+Valkyries list...

I'm actually sort of hoping for a three person unit, it would help to keep the cost in the single digits. If they're in the 7-9 range I could slot them into my Arkadius list pretty easily, and it would be a pretty big attrition edge into Cygnar if I could protect my heavies from the Hurricane's main guns.

Concept art and renderings show three different models; my bet is on a 3-unit. And they look awesome.

Our money is in the same place though I'm not sure the sculpt count is definitive; three sculpts would be typical for a five sow unit as well (one leader, two of each grunt)
