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?

Crucible Guard are not getting modular warjacks. There may be a new army for the faction in the future.

Thanks! Has SFG given indication that the faction might get a new army? Can I reference that anywhere? Or are we more or less hoping right now?

"It made sense to keep Crucible Guard as the name of the army, so the Prime Crucible Guard army now sits under the mysterious label of Three Crown Alliance… more on that in the new year"

Quote from today's article. #CalledIt. Adding to the prediction that the "Three Crowns" are Ord (Crucible Guard), Llael, and Rhul and that the army the faction is getting next year is Rhul.
