Hungerford dropping info in Discord:
New caster:
Falcir, the Merciless
An exectutioner of the House Ellowyr. Sent to execute individual people, organizations or ideals. Does not necessarily execute them quickly. Wields a poleaxe.
She is Iosan death incarnate.
Will be unable to see any part of her through her armour, similar to Thyron.
If a Mage Hunter were James Bond, she is John Wick. "Brienne of Tarth meets John Wick"
"Currently in playtest:"
FOC 6 or 7
Has tokens you can place on enemy models. Tokens were referred to as Bounty tokens. Can be both offensive and defensive in effect.
- Can start with a certain number at the beginning of the game.
- Can add more with feat
- Can be applied in a more difficult way (I assume melee attack?)
- Can only be spent on Ret players turn
- Example (not final or accurate): Snare, -2SPD and open terrain is rough
- gets an expanded menu of effects to use on Feat turn
- some of her Bounties favour melee troops a bit more
- Bounties are meant to be her main mechanic
- use of Bounty tokens will "create completely different boardstate" compared to other ways you could use it that turn
- "like proactive Grymkin Arcana that don't require triggers, but target one model/unit each"
Signature Spell:
Flashing Steel Cost 2 Rng 6 Upkeep Target friendly Faction model/unit gains Rapid Strike. (A model with Rapid Strike can make one additional melee attack each Combat Action)
Helynna likely in CID: "There is a pattern emerging."

Not bad. RAT 5 and 6 are quite different.

Aeternae (new non-character Myrmidon, Vyre built, commissioned for House Ellowuyr), revised to conventional House Vyre design (left-handed).
New solo render was dropped by Doug on FaceBook recently, dual wielding rather chunky axes, has pauldrons with what appear to be Daemon guns on them, and arcanika fins on their back, no indication on whether this amounts to anything, but they're there.

Is it more like the another variant of the existed Vyre heavy Myrmidon chassis, or it seems the whole new chassis?
Are those axes have different sizes? As you know many Vyre heavy Myrmidons have a gun on one of its shoulder, and the arm with the shoulder gun have smaller weapon.
And... axe? It seems somewhat unusual, for Retribution didn't use axe much.

It seems somewhat unusual, for Retribution didn't use axe much. Respectively: Same chassis (thought it was a new one because of the right-handed configuration of the melee weapons), but it'll be its own full kit because of the gun. Yes, the axes are different sizes, left is larger and right will be smaller as per usual for House Vyre Myrmidons. All guns are on the right shoulder, and speaking of, the gun on this is freakin' huge. It's reminiscent of a Thresher Cannon from the Trident (but only in shape), though it's got detailing bells and whistles on it (being House Vyre tech, it won't be so boring as to be RoF d3 PoW 12/13's, I'll need to check the trade points to see if it's indicative of anything, but it'll have some RFP effect I think). Axes is going to be the theme of the new models. Falcir has a big axe, the new solo has two big axes, the Aeternae has two really big axes and the unit will be wielding big axes, too. Everyone's bringing an axe or two to the coming show it appears.

Dynamic Update note - Helynna got Field Marshal [Conveyance] (basically Telemetry [5"]) & Tune Up. Addendum being that the Myrmidons are going to see some changes during the CID.

Tune up sounds nice with Discordia or a Gorgon for a nasty spray, or an over the top Hyperion shot. Conveyance helps with Hand of Destruction and Force Strike, but a its not that big of deal.
It looks like it was meant for Battle Mages and even though it is a nice boost, I dont think its enough to get people to field them.
I might test it in Brawl Machine.

I mean Lanyssa is also affected, but i think she'd also need a range increase to be worth it, because she usually dies after having cast by the virtue of needing to expose herself. Now if only Aiyana were a partisan for some high accuracy kiss-u, but i guess were beating a dead horse here.

There's also Magisters, Artificers, Priest of Nyssor, Lynus Wesselbaum & Edrea Lloryrr, House Shyeel Arcanists and many more.
It might make Magisters worth bringing in non-Rahn lists. If you're bringing both Helynna and Artificiers in LoW and you dont want Force Manipulation or Force Wall... The Priest gets a POW 14 spray. Edrea gets a POW 14 AOE. You're bringing the Arcanists anyways, so if you dont want to use Empower... its really corner case but I think its better than the Artificer.
Lanyssa and the other solos might survive in FoW because of shield guard.
I still dont think its anything to build a list around, but it might be more useful then I thought. I was blinded by my dissapointment of Battle Mages.
Brawlmachine:
Retribution [Theme] Forges of War
[Helynna 1] Magister Helynna [+30] - Discordia [18] - Gorgon [9] - Phoenix [17] Arcanist Mechanik [2] House Shyeel Magister [4] Lanyssa Ryssyl, Nyss Sorceress [4] House Shyeel Arcanists [0(7)]

Battle Mages were hit the nerf stick too badly.
