What the hell is this?

So the popped up an image over on Matt Wilson's twitter and from the looks of it, it's clearly a troll.

However the troll community has a mention of this possibly being the Black Troll that wonders around eating zombies for left behind.  Could this possibly be a Minion model instead of a Trollbloods?  Could it be possible for a dual faction single model release?

All I know is my first reaction when I saw this was.  If I get this model I have to paint it up a Demon.  The tongue just screams Gene Simmons

I look forward to the TrollScrum Podcast crew doing this again.  Always good to get your models out there and test your abilities against others.

IFL 2nd Quarter - High Stakes 40K Tournament and Cook-Out

TempleCon 2013 Announcement: New Faction - Convergence of Cyriss

So the new faction was announced at TempleCon 2013 and it is to be another Warmachine Faction called the Convergence of Cyriss.   The linked video at the top will show you the preview specifically for them.  So finer points of what you can extract from the video are:

• When Warjacks (called Vectors) spend focus you can place that when spent allocate the spent focus to other near by Vectors
• Vectors in a battlegroup share the MAT and RAT of their warcasters
• Warcasters give something to jacks in battlegroup via their individual Field Marshal Ability. (ex. Arc Node and shield guard)

Lets see.  Knee jerk reaction:
