i am legit curious for his feat because aside from strum and drang, all farrow warlocks have "TURN" based feats rather then "round". so i really hope that trend stays in place and he doesn't get a +3def dodge feat.

So couple of points.
1. En guarde is warrior models. So no skarath or heavies shenanigans. 2. He was mentioned being good with trollblood champions in the dhunian theme which he’ll be apart of. 3. Wind rush is a yes and his play style is described as between sorsha and damiano

I don't know if we have any Warlocks actually in need of a CID overhaul. The flaws for most of them are that they don't have the pieces that they want to support, which a new theme could easily correct. Carver is probably the only one I would like to see some changes to, since I really feel like he should be the premier infantry Warlock of the faction rather than a total battlegroup Warlock, but even that's more of a lore issue than a mechanics one (he is pretty boring to play though, and I do really want to put him on the table once his mini crate comes out). I agree 100%. All farrow has are BG focused locks. I would love to see Carver given the “Madrak 1” treatment

It was a bit vague, and we've already heard from the Arkadius discussions that any given model's inclusion in the theme is up in the air.

A little blurb taken from the June model release notes:
"Lord Azazello is also playable in WARMACHINE & HORDES as a Minion Farrow Warlock that supports infantry heavy armies in ways that Minion players have never seen before."
No idea what that last little blurb means. Hopefully it's more impactful than Helga on Wheel's "Dialing Meat Threshers to 11" haha.

FURY 5! *BAM!* Even ground! *BOOM!* a pow 11 ROF 1 RNG 10 gun! *WHAM!* riposte on warrior models! How's that for power? (Oh, and +4 STR +SPD to everyone on feat because reasons)

I more find the joke in that “ he supports infantry heavy armies in ways minions have never seen before” oh. So you mean supporting infantry really at all. I mean that is never seen before at least

Also not to dunk on Azazello even though he does sound cool, but Malvin & Mayhem sound so much cooler.
”Malvin & Mayhem are also playable in WARMACHINE & HORDES as a very unique Mercenary Minion Gobber Heavy Warjack that is completely independent of any warcaster or ’jack marshal. They can be included in any army or theme force that also includes another Gobber model!“
Cool note: Blindwater Congregation allows gobber models/units so might be some interesting cute stuff there. Too bad he won’t count as a warrior model for Maelok

Too bad he won’t count as a warrior model for Maelok Best part is finally getting a warjack that's friendly faction to minions so he can join in the fun of Helga feat and the like. Thornfall's got the gobber chef so M&M are effectively in thornfall as well, and your warbeasts even get to salvage parts (heal) when Mayhem dies.

Followed immediately by the same "I hope this isn't a Helga2/Meat Thresher support situation" fear that ghoulio mentioned.

Ok... wig Just hope it won't look dogshit like so many other RQ models.

I kinda like most RQ minis. I don't like Aza. He's coming out sooner than originally suggested, right?

He releases June. The original spoiler said Q2 2020, so basically spot on schedule. And yeah, his model is disappointing. The original concept art wasn't all that flash either, so I'm not surprised even if I am sad.
