Dynamo is up on the upcoming releases. He looks really interesting and possibly an alternative to the Defender?
http://privateerpress.com/warmachine/gallery/cygnar/warjacks/dynamo
Dynamo is the most successful of Sebastian Nemo’s many prototype warjacks, the one that has survived extensive use in the field. Powered by its galvanic generator, Dynamo is outfitted to render electrical destruction via its devastating storm cannon. This weapon fires deadly bolts of lightning that can strike clusters of advancing soldiers, or concentrated to melt heavy armor to slag. Thanks to Dynamo’s ability to harness and channel its own kinetic energy, each attack it unleashes is more deadly than the last.

This will make Nemo the first caster to go legendary and the first caster to have 2 character jacks.
Who's an old man now!

Thunderhead isn't really his character jack.
In fact, none of the Apotheosis character jacks belong to any particular caster.

I meant fluff wise. I should have clarified that. DJ is his baby, as is this one apparently. Also, if it has some sort of optional heavy/light shot as it sounds, I wonder if the heavy shot will reliably one shot casters on N3mo's feat turn.

I doubt it. For 4 dice, the average is 14. I'm assuming pow 14 so for most casters, they're armor 15-16 at the very least. So -1. Add in focus overload, and it's super unlikely

It will definitely be powerful on his feat turn. Just not likely caster killing powerful without other shooting on top of it.

Colossals also paint the Stormwalls as his babies. It's just the classic "scientist has special attachment to special thing he designed and built" trope. IIRC, in MkI fluff, the Thunderhead was just as likely to be seen with Stryker as Nemo.

I want to say that's not very apt since Nemo required help from a technology god worshiping cult to develop the Thunderhead, Squire, and Stormwall, but then that's probably true of Jobs as well.

Mmm good point, the Thunderhead does work with Stryker and even does in game terms, fitting into his theme force. It's just staying the weekend though, it always comes back to daddy and his great moustache.

I read this as "third party power maces," which actually also sort of works.

How dare you insult Nemo by calling him Jobs, the guy who didn't actually invent anything
He is closer to the Wozniak of Cygnar!
You can tell the difference by the fact that he didn't use technology to become filthy rich!

Yeah, it has a lot of technical bits, but I don't think it will have an arcnode. If it did I'm sure the blurb would've mentioned something.
Also arcnode is a double edged sword. While it would be cool, it'd either up the price or make the combat capabilities less.
I'm guessing/hoping for no arcnode.
