It may not be Themes, YET, but new units, kind of like when they added the first Man of War models to Khador. Neo-Mechanika doesn't quite have enough model diversity to make Themes needed for a collection focus.

My guess on what they mean by cadres are different unit types. For example the new ISA unit featured was the theurge commander. We already have a paladin commander who's spike rule specifically effect paladins (enforcers and annihilators) and also the paladin weaver and paladin siegbreaker exist. So it stands to reason that theurges will be a new unit classification. For a warmahordes comparison it's like praetorians vs cataphracts.
Just my best guess though.

Just like the unit types that eventually became themes in warmahordes. It will take years for them to actually reach the first 3/4 types. |

The surprise Arc Booster objective is pretty cool. I like it!

in sticking with today's Empyrean theme, here's a preview of one of the heavy-armored Aeon warriors that will make up a squad in a future cadre. These guys are pretty unhappy about having to leave the party in the Great Constellation and they're going to hit as hard as they look!  Model will be on a 40mm base |

PP seems to be getting back their stride. I am pretty excited!

I need to get some of my Warcaster stuff up on deck to be painted! I wasn’t expecting the rewards until April!  |

I am very much looking forward to having 40 mm based squads, I just like the model size (Also in Wm/H). Will be interesting to see how the other factions will do!
Also how great is the fluff, that they punish them by forcing them to take the battlefield!? xD

80mm bases:   Preview: Development for the future of Warcaster is an ongoing activity at Privateer Press. Below is a concept for an upcoming two-unit squad that will be part of the Aeternus Continuum Cadre, available later this year. ‘Cyber Guardian Golem’ is a working name only, not a final name, though it pretty fairly sums up their role within the Aeternus Continuum temple.  |

Will be interesting to see if 80 mm will make it into Warmachine as well. Opens up design Space of "small" battle engines and such |

Latest update:  These Aeons will form a three-model squad on 40mm bases with flight stands. And they're terrifying! |

I noticed the Empyrean having Angels. Interesting...
Were the Angels on Caenn an inspiration or were inspired by these?

...let's have a look at a couple new pieces of concept artwork for the upcoming Marcher Worlds air assault cadre (name TBD). This Cadre will include two different squads, a solo, a unit attachment, and the previously previewed Storm Vulture exo-armor vehicle — all flying!   I don't really like how they have these big pieces stuck to their arms, then weapons stuck on top of that. Too much bulk for a flying model, and the profile is a bit weird (even just in the concept-art pose). |
