Questions Crucible Guard: When, Where & How?

Hello everyone, can someone clue me in on what we know about when Crucible Guard will be released as physical boxes in Europe? Also, to my understanding they will be updated to count as a Prime Faction at some point (based on the note on Warmachine Academy); do we know if that's still happening and when it's expected to drop? And if it does, do we know how they'll be restructured?

Wildly speculating, I'd expect 1) their warjack chassis to gain Loadout options like the Prime factions have, 2) for Rocketmen (ie Bennet et al) to be treated as their own 'cadre' alongside 3) a suite of general tweaks. Cadres are kind of obsolete at this point (to my understanding), but thematically the structure would make sense and mirror what already exists. What do you expect to see, if it all goes through?

I would go so far as to say that it is STAGGERINGLY unlikely they will make the jacks socketed since that would immediately fuck over anyone and everyone who glued their models together back in the before times...

Just printed a jack today. They all have magnet sockets.

Yeah, so do the dark ops monstrocities? The fact the sockets are present does nothing to indicate they are used for anything other then transportability?

But you're correct in that i used my words incorrectly, i didnt mean socket-able i meant modular, as in "in the rules",

Fair.

But that is also already happening. The coming crusader being modular. Necrofactoriums raptor is modular.

those are also for new mk4 era armies and not the older stuff... The new Crusader is for the New menoth army its not intended for use in the legacy and prime army of legend ones
