Picked this up in the PP forums. Looks like mostly info on Skorne and Legion, and on 'Warbeasts of Renown", aka 'Alphas'. A lot of speculation, but seems to have some truth there as well.

For a -long- while there, I was thinking... "Boy, maybe I should have went with Everblight instead of Trolls."

Ugh, Dragonpeople. I'm glad I dodged that bullet.

The trolls are supposed to get an ice troll with a freeze effect similar to Sorcha.

Here is the Circle Orboros info I received from a friend of mine. It's all second hand of course, but he is reliable and has seen the article himself. (apparently the new NQ was released early to some people somehow)

 

It's confirmed now that each faction will get two new warlocks, and something new called Light Cavalry. In NQ11 each faction revealed one warlock and one warbeast, with a promise of another warbeast for each faction in NQ12.

Morvahna
SPD 6 MAT 6 DEF 15 ARM 13, 7 Fury, 68 points

Very troop oriented warlock, the magazine has a 750 battle report of her vs. Xerxis and she took ONE warbeast, a Warpwolf.

Feat: While in her control area, friendly Circle models may forfeit action to use Seeds of Destruction. They turn into a 3" forest for a round and are RFP. Any enemies in the forest get a boosted damage roll equal to the model's STR. It's a great anti-troop feat.

She has Pathfinder, Reach. She can transfer to friendly warrior models. If she hits an enemy with her sword, she can transfer once to THEM.

Spells:

Eruption of Life: 4 fury 10" range POW 13 upkeep
Complex, but it makes a 4" forest if you kill the model and enemies that enter or stay take POW 13 and turn into (I am not kidding) Delicious Fruit Tokens. You can spend these to upkeep the spell or heal d3 on Circle models in the forest.

Harvest: 3 Fury, Self/CTRL, upkeep
She can get 1 Fury for every time an enemy model is destroyed in her control area. One reason she doesn't need beasts much.

Regrowth: 4 Fury, 6" range, upkeep
A resurrection spell. For one fury apiece, she can bring back models that died last turn into the unit at 1 health. They can activate this turn.

Revivify: 2 Fury, 6" range, upkeep
+2 ARM on Circle model/unit. She heals 1 point for each affected model within 1" of her at the end of her control phase.

Wurmwood: 2 Fury, 12" range, POW 11
Anyone damaged by Wurmwood takes +2 to damage rolls from friendly Circle models.


Your new beast is the Pureblood Warpwolf, an "Alpha Beast". Apparently each faction is getting one and they have effects that boost their co-species beasts.

He's like a Warpwolf, but with a bite attack and 17 ARM. He can transfer damage to other Warpwolves. He has a new set of things he can warp for at 1 fury each, he can warp for more than one of them, and he can cause other nearby Warpwolves to warp for these new effects too. If he kills a beast he (and his warlock) can ues their animus for the rest of the game. 124 points, he has 5 Fury.

The new warps:

Ferocity: Reroll failed attack rolls
Spurs: +1 ARM and if you're hit but not damaged in melee they take a damage roll back based on your STR
Spirit Hunter: You're sort of like a wraith and can hurt wraiths. You are not Incorporeal, but you can move like you were.

Animus: Warp Strike
3 fury, 10" range, POW 13
Models within 3" of target must pass a CMD check or flee

so is the Troll Alpha Beast a dire troll that is icy, or a light warbeast, like the pyretroll? It would suck if our alpha beast was a light warbeast, while everyone else got heavy alphas

The ice troll is likely a light. The alpha is probably a variant dire troll. A Dire Troll As*kicker or similar. :-)

Frankly, I'll settle for a UA for my Champs...you know, 'cause it's not enough that they can eat through a Mule in one turn...

Yeah, the pose is a bit off and the beard is kinda odd. The rules for it kick butt though.

Wow. It somehow manages to be both intimidating to paint and not attractive. Here's hoping that's the paint job...

I can see someone makeing a Waltons Kroot army with this guy as Grandpa Walton. I hope the other trolls are better.
