Faultie, a gator-playing mod on the PP forums (who happens to be local to me!) posted this speculation that it is a Dreadbound Wrastler. I hope he's right!

It seems to go together like this:

That's what I'd put my money on it being! Can't wait to see the actual model.

I'm rather excited. Much more so than from the Warmachine video.

That's a nice looking gator he's got there.

Quite jealous.

Soooooo excited for eKromac with dat ax. Oh man....

Yeah, I'm glad I don't play trolls anymore, they must be wincing from that

Hopefully the Glacier King makes up for us losing out on a certain albino troll.

Then again, maybe we don't actually lose him?

The axe was cursed and all, right? Maybe Madrak is able to escape from Rathrok's power.and stops screwing over his people due to its usage.

Let the treehuggers get the shaft for a bit if they want to play world enders.

Kind of weird that there aren't any new merc Colossals, or Minion gargantuans. I was hoping for the dragodile and a massive Hog golem-thing.

I am excited about the Hydra, even though I like the mammoth. And I keep seeing the Raptor having some massive 'crap from the sky' attack. Cheesey as that would be, I'd use it EVERY game!

Mercs have two, so it isn't so surprising that they're not getting a third. Was kind of expecting one for Minions though.

Also, saying it now, the acquisition of Rathrok should be written into the fluff as the justification for the Shifting Stone nerf...

Minions also have two battle engines while Mercs have none.

They spread the releases out. I'm okay with that.

Hydra is simply beautiful. Legion's abomination is perfect, a perfect monster I can only love to despise.

Mercs have two colossals already, they just got their second one early (and on a completely different chassis).

Minions are in need of new beasts and units more than Gargantuans at the moment, though a Dracodile would be awesome. A third minion pact with crossovers into the other two pacts could also really help flesh out their options.

A dracodile is coming, but I'm sure that full faction releases are pushed in front since there's more of a market.

It's smart (Financially for PP) that they are just doing a minor conversion to each of the existing Colossal frames, and it fits with their precedent of *character jack alternates to existing frames...but then I think....man, these are pretty much the exact same models, kind of underwhelming from a modelling/painting standpoint...meh, I still haven't painted the first Cryx one.

I don't really see how that's a problem.

A Space Marine dreadnought with a plasma cannon and a Space Marine dreadnought with an assault cannon are the same model with a weapon swap as well. Nobody seems to have an issue with that.

The only difference with Warmahordes is that they give the variants different names.

I think a better comparison is a Rhino vs a Razorback vs a Predator vs a Whirlwind ect. Same chassis, different standardized loadouts given different names to distinguish them.

I'm excited by the Storm Raptor, although it does sound as if Cygnar might be a hard counter for it.

What are the chances of new warlocks being released alongside the new gargs? I'm hanging out for an epic Kromac.

The sneak preview pictures clearly show a new wave of "epic" warlocks.
Kromac is set 100%

The Desert Hydra is just an amazing model, it looks even better than how I imagined it which is quite rare for me.

The Storm Raptor is the most unique just because of its speed, but I'm pretty sure its going to have the lowest amount of damage boxes out of all the Gargantuans and Colossals.

I really hope the Blightbringer rules wise isn't just outright better than the Sepulcher because it already seems like it is unless the Sepulcher's recursion or guns are really good.

Why are we comparing the Blightbringer to the Sepulcher? That seems rather arbitrary.

Rumor:
Saw a tweet or something somewhere that Ruin would
have Reach and Affinity: Boundless Charge with Butcher.

They are both very support based from what is known about them so far, I thought that was obvious.

Apparantly they're all pretty support based but again, why compare the Sepulcher and the Blightbringer? They're not in the same faction or anything, I agree, it is an arbitrary comparison.

They just seem the most similar to me in function to me.

They just seem more support oriented than the others to me as well. For example they are both the complete opposite of the Desert Hydra which is just a big weapons platform/beatstick.

Perhaps the Gator is part of a two or three Gator plastic kit. I'd like to see a re-sculpt of the Wrastler, it's too cartoony fro my tastes.

That would make me super happy too. And the gators could use the extra beasts. Maybe one of those add-on character kits for it too. I'm not optimistic though.

I've not heard anything about what Blightbringer does.

I'm just going off the information described in the new Gargantuans video posted by RiTides on page 51 and the new Colossals video posted earlier, really to me its just kind of weird how they were far more descriptive with some of the new Colossals/Gargantuans abilities and then gave barely any information on the others.

Epic Kromak with Madraks axe at the end?

I grabbed as clean a shot as I could get from the video.

I wonder, It would be pretty cool IF!!!! it is found Rathrok only works on trolls or something like that. and Kromac isnt cursed.

Some may be in planning stages. This year is a Warmachine book right? So collassals are going to likely be more finished.

Apparantly the Hordes book is this year too. Considering we've seen the model for the Skorne gargantuan and Cryx Collosal, I'm thinking maybe it'll be an alternating release schedule for them maybe?

Hmm, I thought they did a book a year.

But I dont like Victors head, I think I will buy the conquest head and put it on him

It's not officially a book a year, nor one of each a year. It's simply as they're getting them done and how they feel about what they have to release. We might get one of each, we might only get one. It's not set in stone.

Wasn't the Mountain King out before some of the first Colossals as well or am I mistaken on that?
