UNLEASH THE FURY OF WAR!

Within the shadows of the wilds, events are set in motion that will bring the area’s powers into a desperate clash by which their fates in the west will be determined. As a returned hero prepares to enact an ancient ritual to foil the plots of dragons, the Skorne Empire resumes its march for conquest and the beleaguered United Kriels must outfox old enemies in their continued fight for the survival of their race.

HORDES: Domination heralds the next exciting chapter of the HORDES saga. Set loose the savagery of war with:
• New troops to bring to the fight, including ten new warlocks and the debut of the mighty battle engines.
• New narrative fiction, including compelling stories for each HORDES faction.
• A painting and modeling guide to help you ready your forces for battle.
• New Theme Force lists for each new warlock, which allow you to create armies based on specialized forces found in the HORDES world.

MASTER YOUR ENEMIES AND LET NONE STAND AGAINST YOUR DOMINATION!

Cthulhu's love child seems to be on the cover.

Actually there will be lot's of tentacles in this book, between that War Engine and the new Heavy Warbeast for Blindwater.

Most people thought that Legion Battle Engine was going to be terrible (based on the concept art)... makes a lot more sense as a flyer...

My take on Domination (another slow day at the office).

Based on analysis of known models coming up in the expansion, and based on Wrath releases and the release of plastic kits for Horde beasts, i'd say each faction is looking at something like...

Epic Caster (known for all factions)
Caster (known for all factions)
Light Beast
Heavy Beast
Character Heavy Beast (based on the plastic kit - so Titan based for Skorne, Warpwolf based for Circle, etc)
Character Heavy Beast (as above, but linked with one of the new Domination casters)
Unit/Solo/UA
Unit/Solo/UA (known for some factions - e.g. Targ and Scattergunner UA)
Battle Engine (known for all factions)

Minions would follow a different path obviously... as per Mercs in Wrath, they are likely to only get 6-7 releases, one new caster for Gators/Farrow, one new beast, and 2x unit/solo/ua each. No battle engine.

So for Skorne, that would be:

Epic Caster - Lord Arbiter Hexeris
Caster - Naaresh
Light Beast - ? Ranged Cyclops?
Heavy Beast - Pteradactyl Flyer
Character Heavy Beast - ? Character Bronzeback linked with Naaresh?
Character Heavy Beast - ? Titan Character (Sentry, Gladiator or Cannoneer)
Unit/Solo/UA - ? Most likely UA for Karax or Bloodrunners
Unit/Solo/UA - ? Solo that does something
Battle Engine - Ankylosaurus shooty thing

for Minions it will be

Blindwater Caster - Maelok the Dreadbound
Thornfall Caster - Sturm & Drang
Light Beast - Farrow Beast?
Heavy Beast - Swamp Horror
Unit - Farrow Slaughterhousers
Solo - Targ

That will probably be it for Minions. Maybe another Gator Solo or Unit but I doubt much more. Perhaps an unaligned Minion like the Totem Hunter.

If Farrow are getting Targ and the Slaughterhousers, surely Gators would get a couple of somethings as well... perhaps not restricted to Gators, ala Targ, but within the Gator/Amphibious realm.

It does. Griffins are a great idea for Circle.

Maybe a Character Beast. I would like another Light Warbeast or perhaps a ranged unit for Gators.

Today was the best day ever. I made a dream catcher and had my beard waxed. Its very peaceful here in the compound. Pakistan is much nicer than my cave.

Aaaaaah! They fly!

I like the griffon.

Overall I find the cover a little underwhelming. It might be because I cannot really see what is going on.

Is that meant to be a new flying beast or just three angels

Trolls are getting the massive gun cart thing, apparently a lightning troll, and lots of rumors about a character axer, but nothing real concrete on that.
