So I've got some good info for all of you!
Firstly Epic Hexeris!
His stats are pretty much the same, he loses Beat back and gains *thresher, which is neat
He has two new abilities. Vampiric harvest, which heals him everytime a living enemy model dies in his control and warbeast bond which lets a non char beast bond to him and be an arc node for him while in his command of 8
Spell list:
Arcane Reckoning
Ashen Veil (the unit buff)
Ashes to Ashes (big nuke here)
Black Spot (yes so frikin awesome)
Hellfire
Feat. Now here is where he goes from good to awesome
Firstly all non warlock / warcaster models in hexeris control area lose all focus, fury and soul tokens.
Then for each token remove hex gains 1 fury(cannot exede total fury though)
Discuss
More info Soon!

Epic Hexeris aka Lord Arbiter Hexeris
SO, after a while here is some info for this guy!
This image and text is from Beast of War
Through cunning, raw power, political acumen, and tactical genius, Lord Arbiter Hexeris has furthered his own schemes while simultaneously strengthening the Skorne Empire. The lord arbiters occult knowledge goes well beyond the lore of the skorne, and no enemy arcanist is safe from his vampiric thirst for mystical secrets. To oppose him in battle is to be sapped of arcane power as he steals and transforms the energies of his foes.
I really like the look of this model! Really aggressive and mid combat. The Armor has improved since his primal incarnation, so this might be reflected in his stats! As presumed he has kept his GulGata, which hopefully will keep its rules etc.
From the blurb it seems like he will have something like Arcane Consumption (like Psy Vampire, but permanent) But it will be interesting to see when he is fully unveilled!

Epic Hexeris
So as promised I have devoted a small section to this cool caster Lord Tyrant Hexeris, and his new Epic form to be released in Domination.
I think after seeing the artwork, we can make a few assumptions.
Firstly, Hexeris will not change in stats or weapon, he might get a point of armor increase, but this is not certain. He does look a lot more imposing, which could suggest that he will be known as Dominar Hexeris, but this is pure speculation.
Secondly I would say its safe to say that he still wields Gulgata, however he might have lost beat back, but life drinker seems to be a safe bet, as are reach and magical
Furthermore epic Hexeris is clearly casting a direct damage spell, his current form uses soulfire, I think he might not keep this spell.
So what do we know about the process of turning epic. Well generally you keep your feat as a small spell or ability, and overall the character tends to refine his role, going from more generic to more specific, and should mark a change in his story. What change? I do not know, however we do know Hexeris is a very ruthless skorne, with no care for anything other than his own projects. His is friends with both Mordikaar, and Zaal, who are the only casters to use souls (mordikaar culls them, and zaal guides ours). We know hexeris has made use of his friends to better understand souls, and to make his own gem, that hosts one of his great ancestors.
What does this mean?
Well I am pretty sure eHexeris will gain Boneshaker, a spell that represents his feat very well. Furthermore, I think his soulslave ability will either become a passive once per turn channel or a beast bond. The real question is will he keep his Vampiric flare? ie will he still have vampiric reaving or psychic vampire? Or will those be incorporated into his feat? I consider Calaban from Blindwater a good counter part to hexeris, and his feat seems like something that hexeris could use. I would like hexeris to gain access to a soul mechanic, especially seing as zaal doesnt really use his souls himself, but redirects them.
I would also like obliteration being changed out for a different spell, like hellmouth or deathbringer. I dont know what will happen to his signiture spell, Death March, and if he will keep it, or if that will be converted into his feat, +2 mat and extra tokens for everyone that has been hurt? Unfortunately untill Privateer Press release the blurb, we cannot more but speculate.
My top bets in a quick recap are:
-armour 17
-Boneshaker
-soulslave as ability
-new spells
-soul based feat
-remains very much the same otherwise
Hopefully we shall know more from Gencon!

More Spoilers!
So I saw this thread earlier this morning, and it is highly interesting link
It shows certain pieces of artwork for other factions.
Firstly a Lightning Troll, which would give the trolls the final elemental troll, however it is unknown if it is a heavy or light troll. One of the staff mentioned her wrist hurting after holding the model for a while which could indicate a heavy, however this is just speculation, but it would go with the 50mm base seen on the Skornadactyl. In its artwork it is holding a long lightning rod Zeus Style, which might give it a short range attack like the impaler, possibly with electro leap? Maybe an Static animus granting electric immunity and electro leap, which would follow the other 3 elemental trolls, and makes trolls better against high def, and allowing them to target high def solos behind jack and beast quite easily like cygnar with their storm stuff.
Secondly a worm like legion creature. It has carnivean/raek type head and a wormish body/neck with has loads of little scythean arms, a bit like a Zoanthrope from GW... Go figure, no idea, might just be a rip off razor worm, to give legion bombshelter, which would make striders/hexhunters even better, and the rest of there choices not quite so bad.
Also there is a new artwork portraying an Albino(white and red eyes) Argus Hound! Could it be a character light warbeast for the Circle of Orobos? which could confirm my speculation about each faction getting a character light. However, it could just be new artwork for a re-sculpt like for the Gorax, and more is yet to be found out...
And Finally a picture containing a Griffin in Circle armor, which could also be a new heavy warbeast, like our Skornadactyl, meaning that quite a few factions will have access to a flying warbeast, which might leave the trollbloods without one, which would make sense...
For more information visit the thread and check it out!

What to Expect from Domination
Domination is the next big release for Hordes, and as such, I am very looking forward to this release. It stands i the series next to Warmachines Superiority, which had the big releases of Cavalry as well as the third epic caster. Each faction also got some well know character solos like Kovnik Joe and Bane Lord Tartarus. Obviously we know some things, and others are just pure rumors/speculation.
I think there will be 8 releases per faction, I could be wrong, and am very likely to be.
What we know:
Skorne will be getting two new casters:
Naaresh, who has been spoilt already, and whose miniature is on the Privateer Press Website
Epic Hexeris, about whom not much is know other than the artwork, in which it looks like he is keeping his weapon Gulgata, and his armor is getting a slight upgrade.
Also we will be getting our Battle Engine, like trolls, circle and legion.
For us it is a Massive dinosaur with a howdah, containing a Venator Cannon(dual) a platform for fighting off and a rased position for a Horn Blower. Apart from the Howdah the dinosaur has a massive hammer like tail, which could give it some back side defenses.

We are also getting a new Warbeast, which looks like a Terradactyl! This is from the Monsternomicon, or could well be.
This is obviously a WIP
So thats what is know!
Now for some SPECULATION
Right so presuming that there are 4 more releases for skorne, what could that mean for us, and what are we missing that our warmachine comrades already own.
I would say number one on the list is a character unit, as legion of everblight got one of those and not a warlock attachment. I would think it only to be fair for us to get one.
Secondly a second character beast, this time a light, Seeing as most factions in warmachine own 5 now(2 heavy and 1 light and the 2 new wrath ones) I think we've got some catching up to do. Maybe an Exotoller Cyclops who has adopted zaals way of life and works closely with him? Or a drake so potent its a one of a kind.
Thirdly, a new UA for a unit. This I think because trolls have had theirs even released, which might I add looks fantastic. I could only imagine some cool ones:
- Karax UA giving reform?
- Nihilator UA giving them something like silence?
- Or possibly for any of our other units
Now for the last entry I am not so sure. There is one main contender : Solo. Why? because we'd be getting 2 new beasts 2 new casters 2new unit additions 1 battle engine, why not a solo? My thought a Chataphracs Solo, and this solely for the fact that Xerxis tier allows Chataphracs solos, which we don't have.
What ever we get, I think it only cool and right if we got a new character just to mix up the game a bit more, and please remember this is wishlisting and speculation, and not confirmed from pp or any reliable sources, just me pondering about what we could get!
What do you guys think? Reasonable? I for one hope for some cool surprises with Domination and more Excellent and High Quality products from PP
