If people read this thread, they did it on purpose & have ZERO complaint if they decide, suddenly & arbitrarily, that THAT was something they didn't want to know. Just silly. You either want to ruin the suprise & know what's coming, right now, or you don't & aren't reading this.
Either way Dahlia doesn't have anything to do with Legends in her description. You cut some parts out but spoiled others. Short version: yeah she mentions Retribution of Scyrah, which just a confirmation of old news.
That would be the militiant mage-hating splinter of Ios that Eryiss embodies. Are you saying that Retribution being a faction is some big suprise? It's not, it's been set up since day one & this doesn't confirm it any more than ever. We also have "Morrowan" & "Rhulics" & "Talion Charter".
Plot spoilers are different from teaser paragraphs and model pics. And since Matt Wilson hyped Legends as revealing the fifth faction since last November (It was in the NQ that month), saying Dahlia works for the Retribution is a big Legends spoiler.
Sure, PP has been hinting at Ios getting involved for a while now, but just because something is hinted at, it doesn't make it true. Remember the last time PP hinted at a fifth faction? We got Hordes.

Thanks for making my point for me.

My point was PP likes to keep their customers on their toes. Setting up Ios but introducing something else was never out of the question. Having the Retribution confirmed as the fifth faction before Legends is released is still spoilery.

Back on topic with the two coolest, and final, entries: Grim masters of elemental cold, the icy stares of the Koldun Lords seem almost to freeze the blood of those they gaze upon. Koldun Lords often obscure themselves and the warjacks under their control in a mist filled with churning snow and capable of freezing solid any foolish enough to approach too closely. So too do these wizards instill the blade or cannon of their 'jacks with a chilling mystical rime that even the fleshless dead can feel. The Koldun Lord comes in a blister (PIP 33062). A player may field one Koldun Lord for each warcaster in his Khador army. Battling their way forward despite incoming mortar and rifle fire, Trencher artillery crews haul their cannons into the fray across any terrain. The crews dig hasty positions on high ground, throw up sandbag barricades, and prepare to fire. These cool, professional gunners, chosen as much for their steady nerves as their killer’s eye, calmly consult tactical maps and shout orders above nearby explosions. The Trencher Cannon Crew comes in a blister (PIP 31058). A player may field two Trencher Cannon Crews for each warcaster in his Cygnar army. See, the TCC is cool because it says so, and the Koldun is cool because he has ice magic.

Ah ok herein lies your misunderstanding...they aren't confirmed as a faction. Epic Eryss was already listed as "Ret. Of Scyrah" & neither that nor this confirms any new faction. Just a keyword. There's Morrowans now too...also not confirmed as a faction.
The Taetzelwrym as a warbeast is a bigger spoiler.

He controls warjacks...best case scenario. My s.o. loves jacks & loves Greylords & was sad that when everyone else got their jack solos (Strangeways, etc)...Khador just got a melee beatstick. Again.
Yay for more attention back where it belongs: Warjacks!

All I have to say about the Trencher cannon crew is it had better perform better than the Khadoran field gun, or I'm going to be reopening my festering wounds from the days of Superiority. As with anything Cygnar, however... 'Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment'.

Huh. I kinda like my field gun.
