Not a fan of the new deneghra concept. Goes in the "awkward cartoon" pile. The alt brute is pretty fun. If it has a reasonable price, I'd probably pick one up.
Vlad list is boring. I find those cut & paste "take one type of thing, take multiple to move faster or w/e the first turn" a waste of space when there have been some really fun ones like Bad Seeds or Zerkova's Vanguard one. Also, his older list was better IMHO.
I really, really want to like the SH character. It's been quite some time since they got something other than their warcaster (and I'm more interested in the module under other warcasters). But, he seems really meh. His only ability that doesn't affect him or a very small bubble is defensive line, which SH's don't particularly benefit from, since things going after any of the single-wounds will kill them anyway (and one of their better defenses is spreading out), while you're expecting disproportionate force against cav anyway since they're so threatening. Thoughts to the contrary?

Another "Please please buy and use X" theme force.
Anyway, that theme might not be terrible in a Berserker spam type list or just low points. Advance deployment would solve the MoW speed issue partly.

She's a female Brute thrall, Lock and Load exclusive. One sec I'll get a pi
Here you are. She looks awesome too.

Spoiler:
in a bit of fiction in the NQ, Zaal gets killed by Kaelyssa, but before he dies he transfers his soul into an Ancestral Guardian, so the AG concept art at the end of the Gargantuans evolved video is probably epic Zaal.

Where can I get that female brute thrall. And explain it in terms that a noob would understand.
Edit. And yet again the spoiler tags just don't work.

You are using them backwards the [/] tag is at the end, not at the beginning.
As for the model, you'll need to either go to the convention or buy it from the PP online shop during the days that the convention is running (I think).

It sounds like it's a convention exclusive, specifically Lock and Load in Seattle this June. In the past, PP has made con exclusive minis available on their webstore for the duration of said convention, but who knows if they'll do that this time around.
The main utility that I see in the new SH character is his tough bubble. It hurts that it is friendly Faction and not just friendly. Can Mercs now be tougher than trolls?

I am pretty happy for that new Steelhead character. I haven't busted out my mercs for a long time, but I really liked Halbs for a jam unit, and getting a fairly hard hitting solo to go with it nice. Plus tough and extra armor on the cav after they smash a jack is pretty cool. I dunno, seems fun so far!

With Boomhowler, Gorten, and the pirates, yeah, it's really never been that hard to outclass troll tough, outside of their insane multiwound infantry.

Holy crap that eZerkova is incredible. I've always loved Zerkova (character wise not gameplay wise). I love the casters from Khador actually, just the rest of the faction doesn't live up to them.

Forgive my ignorance, but I thought in the fiction the Orgoth were all gone from the world, right?
Are they actual Orgoth, or just wearing Orgoth armor? Either way they look cool.
The Orgoth were actually humans. They were just from another continent across the ocean to the west. Its believed that the plague spread to the Orgoth homeland and killed them all, due to the fact no more Orgoth have been seen coming back since that time. But its not a sure thing. All that is known is all the Orgoth who were in Immorean either fled, died of the plague, or were killed. The only bastion of Orgoth who survived was a small fortress in the Sharde isles, the descendents of those Orgoth are the Warwitch Sirens employed by Cryx. And their blood is mixed with Sharde islanders.
While its believed they all died of a plague, they left behind many relics. Including many weapons, like Fellblades or the staves the Grey Lords use to control the Doomreavers. Khador is the only nation that approves of meddling with Orgoth equipment and openly engages in it.
Most of Khador's Fellblades come from a single stockpile found under one of the fortresses in Khador a long time after the occupation. A few others have been found in other areas, and they're always keen to acquire any that are found elsewhere.
