The ambush rule in shadows is definitely not happening, I am confident of that. I'm 90% sure that Infiltrators will get a CA that lets them Ambush, though. Unless they specify a unit of infiltrators with no CA can ambush, because ambushing Eiryss3 is insane. Non-character unit gains ambush? Would that preclude her? Maybe? I'm unclear on the model vs unit keywords these days.

Marhsalled jacks should count towards free points in Legion of Dawn Defenders should be 1 unit without ranged weapons gets AM per heavy warjack taken Forges should be both types of jacks without caster limitation. Shadows should give ambush to one unit of infiltrators All themes except shadows should allow for up two models/units with the mage hunter designation to be taken in that theme. The faction is the retribution not Ios damnit! The ambush rule in shadows is definitely not happening, I am confident of that.

A Hydra becomes doubly potent as a marshalled jack with flank. Forges should be both types of jacks without caster limitation. Vyre myrmidons don't really feel like the shield guarding types to me... I wouldn't turn down a 'Jack theme that lets us field our whole stable though. All themes except shadows should allow for up two models/units with the mage hunter designation to be taken in that theme. The faction is the retribution not Ios damnit! Or allow us to take models with the mage hunter designation as our mercenary solo/unit slots instead. Though Narn/MHAs and/or Spears being available in every theme would be a candidate for brokenness. Agreed. I'd love the option of an ambushing Nayl though... just for the lulz.

I would love to see a theme that would fit with the lore from Mk2 wrath/colossals/retribution books. There are several mentionings of houseguard fighting as auxiliaries to some other main force, or the mage hunters acting as scouts/scirmishers but actively participating in the battles too.
My main which would be to see a theme of Ossyan's quest to find Nyssor and redeem his house. His force was a mix of houseguard and mage hunters. A strikeforce and the battle engine was specifically mentioned. Since it's house Vyre, naturally their jacks and units could fit in too. Not sure what the theme's role or benefits should be in conjunction with our already existing themes, but I'd like to one that actually has the mage hunters working with other troops.
The other cool battle was in Issyria's lore, where she, Vyros and Ossyan took the fight to Skorne. In that battle it was mentioned that no mage hunters were present, but house Nyarr and house Vyre joined their forces. Problem with a theme like that is what on earth is it supposed to exclude so that it wouldn't make legions of dawn obsolete in an instant.

They just confirmed on today’s Dev hangout that the Ret CID won’t be until after Lock & Load, so realistically we are looking at the absolute end of June or beginning of July.

That makes sense, I was actually a bit surprised they would want to be doing tests while prepping for L&L. Still good news, though it would have been nice for them to give that timeframe sooner.

From reading between the lines and some inferring, it sounds like they will be showing off some stuff for us at L&L as well.

Don't want to be disappointed, but that would be awesome (if, IMO, unlikely...) That said, I haven't listened to the last couple dev talks, so you may know something I don't...

Last year they previewed a bunch of themes, all the way up to Man-o-wars, so they might do something similar this year and in that case there’s a good chance they will show off the stuff coming for the Dawnguard theme since those are likely going to be released next spring.
