Presumably the 2020 Faction will be announced at Lock n Load, which is only a month away now.
Last year, before Infernals were announced, I was guessing Zu; I suppose I'll stick with the same.
Anyone got any new guesses?

I'm actually not expecting a new faction. Maaaaybe they'll announce another campaign boxed set. Or something to build on the Mk3 remix rules of the Infernals boxed set.
I frankly don't think they have enough bandwidth to maintain WM/H, a 4th new faction in 4 straight years, plus Monsterpocalypse, and Riot Quest.

Infernals have so little releases for a faction I won't be surprised to see them do a wave II to move the plot forward. They'll start having more cross-over themes as well since that's a good way of getting players to buy into more factions without PP having to producing a gazzilion new models.

With PP resources on riotquest and monpoc I wouldnt be surprised that we will see less focus on warmahordes in 2020 than the last years. I am still up in the air wether they will skip the new faction for 2020 or we will see less new themes/legacy CID.

I feel like it's come to a good pause point. Once they released Grymkin, Infernals was always on the cards. Crucible Guard are... kind of extraneous. I get that they have a decent presence in the fluff, but they don't actually do anything interesting at a fundamental level. Convergence have the Induction Node, Grymkin have Arcanas, Infernals have all manner of new rules. CG don't have any standout point; they're just another WM faction.
If they can make a genuinely interesting and novel faction, then cool! But if not, they're probably better off focusing on themes. The Black Fleet CID introduced 5 new units and 5 new solos; that's almost as many as the limited faction CIDs, which have tended to have 6-7 of each.
There's plenty of scope to expand on the themes. Problem then becomes the much-touted issue of SKU bloat.

im expecting 2020 to bring a reorganisation of WM/H rather than a new faction. Not a new edition per say. But a realigning of things, maybe streamlining. TBH im sort of expecting that the up coming campaign will move the fluff forward giving PP a valid story reason to shift things all about.

The Gobber Revolutionary Army is on the horizon! Rise up my brothers and sisters and cast off the chains of societal oppression!
For too long have we suffered under the weight of terrible decisions by our human "leaders!" From making deals with infernals, to summoning living terrors from Urcaen, to using Orgoth relics without proper safety precautions, time and again these humans have demonstrated at best poor judgement, at worst outright maliciousness and suicidal greed!
Now is the time for all Gobbers across the Iron Kingdoms to band together and form our own nation. One where we will be safe from the ravages of human wars, human magic, and human oppression! The arrival of Archons from our great mother Dhunia is a sign. We must free ourselves and forge our own destinies. Rise up Gobbers! Rise up!

The Gobber says to his friends later that evening, holding it up to show his fellow rebels.

Part of the reason I want to play Cygnar is for the gobbers.

Part of the reason I want to play Cygnar is for the gobbers. Are gobbers even able to marshal 'jacks or control 'beasts? obviously the answer to that is whatever the Firetruck the writers want it to be, but I dunno if the current lore would allow that, and you can't have a WMH army without them. A new minions theme for the scum of the savage races / non-circle devourer worshippers could be neat. Gobbers, idrians, outlaws, ogrun, etcetera. but then, that's not quite what you're asking for.

They can't cast spells, but the can be jack marshalls. So if you were to introduce a new type of commander, say a "War Marshall", you could have a warmachine Gobber army.
