I just asking because i feel an all jacks theme should include well, all the jacks in the faction 😀
But being unable to pick vyre ones is annoying to me. Wonder if PP will bring us another less restrictive theme any soon. (Playing also khador and mercs, i would like to see something similar)

There will be more themes eventually. New releases will be based around new themes, we're just in a weird point right now where the community was unhappy that so many models couldn't be taken in themes so they released all the themes necessary to give every model a spot. If it weren't for that we wouldn't even have Legion of the Dawn yet. So they're coming, we just have no idea when. I wouldn't hold your breath.
I'm really hoping that via CID we can turn LoD into a hybrid theme since training alongside jacks is supposed to be a big part of Dawnguard training (hence Sents and Invictors both having Jack Marshal in MkII). At the moment it sorta wants to be but is limited by only having one jack marshal model.

We do indeed have more themes coming beyond just Dawnguard but in terms of timing of announcement and release, that remains to be seen.

One question that I have had is will our current themes be rearranged once we get new ones. Currently Defenders is a mess of rag tag models that do not really fit anywhere. I could easily see us getting a more complete Nyss theme and then having the Nyss models removed from defenders.

I could see them either doing that or just leaving them in Defenders and giving them their own theme anyway; models don't necessarily need to be limited to a single faction.
I do wish that we could get some tweaks to Defenders and Forges to make them more inclusive. Defenders has a ton of models that just get no benefit from the theme; I really don't understand why Halbs are the only unit that gets Advance Move and Stormfalls are the only unit to get Reposition 3. It makes it really hard to justify similar units like Swordsmen, Defenders, and Electromancers. Forges I just think should be changed to be the "tech/jack" theme rather than the "Shyeel" theme; have it be about the might of Arcanicka, not a bunch of armed construction workers showing off one model line (the fact that the Artificer is only allowed in a theme that's already mostly immune to blast will never stop bothering me).

The Nyss do feel very shoe-horned into Defenders, it feels like they were intended to get a bunch more models to fill them out, but PP decided to fast forward putting everything into themes, so they had no choice but to just stick them in

Definitely. They wanted to get every model in a theme since the community was getting antsy and they didn't have one ready.
Which is fine, I get needing to adapt to the market and everything. I just wish they could have taken some time here and there since then to test opening up the benefits a bit.

Shouldn't the "Reset the clock" meme have gone up by now?

We’re getting a small CID to look at our themes and a few legacy models after the current Exemplar CID!

[br And it pissed off 2 circle players...the salt is making me thirsty...and I am a circle player who thinks you Ret needed one before any other faction. So good for you guys, maybe you'll get the Wold treatment

We can certainly hope. I do not think as a faction we are awful but the issue goes back to how the faction was designed and balanced vs how themes work now is very counter to its game plan.
