Privateer Press launches new edition of Warmachine/Hordes

So today when I read the tabletop news I first had to double check if it is not the 1st of April. But no...
Privateer Press anounced that on 29th of June 2016 they will release a new edition of Warmachine/Hordes!
It will come with new rules, new casters, new cards and new starter boxes. For us Warroom users there shall be a discount on the faction decks, because they will be incompatibel with the old MKII rules.

But first a promotional video from Privateer Press:

So what exactly did they tell us yet?

• We have rebalanced every model in the game.
• Each warcaster has a unique, flavorful spell/ability. Some casters already had, some had to be added.
• Doubled the point scale.
• Addresses difference between Focus and Fury.

New Mechanics:

• Power Up: Warjack are allocated a focus for starting in the caster’s battlegroup.
• Spirit Bonds: As warbeasts die, Warlocks can gain fury “from the grave”
• Upped warjack/warbeast points. 28-30 points now.
• Games are still similar sized.

Change with Huge-Base Models:

• They feel like the monsters of the battlefield like they should.

Presentation of Story

• Time-skip! Two-year jump.
• Flash-Point. First installment in a trilogy.
• Story line stuff. Resolutions and new things.
• No favorite character is safe.

Let's see with what they come up with in the future. Looking forward to it.

So long,
