I've posted the teased models on the faction specific boards.

Jay Larsen just tweeted that the stream should begin in a couple minutes. Not sure which stream he's referring to. Is this on twitch? It was just Jay using the restroom. He's getting older so it takes less to get him excited.

And I think they said they would be considered a Warmachine faction. I thought that was weird, but I'm not a developer.. Rather than thinking of it as a case of "machines or monsters", I think we need to view it in how the two use resources: the Warmachine system is about a central model that distributes resources to it's battlegroup, while the Hordes system is has a central figure that draws on the resources generated by it's battlegroup. From that point of view, with the idea that the "warcaster" position is taken up by an Infernal and the battlegroup is made up of... whatever it is an Infernal sends out to do it's bidding, I think it makes sense thematically that the Infernal channels it's power through it's battlegroup, rather than it drawing in power from it's battlegroup. Although it would make sense to me that the Infernal automatically gains the souls of any living models that anything in it's battlegroup kills, so feeding off it's battlegroup in a way too, just by them "harvesting" rather than just generating power all on their own.

I'm guessing it's an IP issue... from what I gather Infernals are from the initial IK material and it probably falls under that distinction between Waramchine and Hordes.

Why would that be an IP issue if PP owns both IPs? I'm under the impression that the split between Warmachine and Hordes is due to IP ownership. I read that somewhere? Tried finding but couldn't...

I have never heard that. To my knowledge, PP owns all intellectual properties associated with the Iron Kingdoms. Perhaps what you might be thinking of are the old IK rules, which IIRC were modifications of a DnD system. That has no bearing on the fiction or lore.

I'm quite sure PP would also own those as their IP as they got a license to use the D&D rules as a base back then, as many other games also did. Now the core 3.5 rules fall under the Open Game License anyway, so I can't see it matter at all anymore.
