  8. Hoping to be released around end of September but they absoloutly will not rush it so if it's not ready they won't put it out there.

    Imperial Army will be seen in book 5 (Calth) and will be both loyal and traitor guard.

  13. Loken: Alan Bligh confirmed that the Cyborg Breacher Squads (Medusan Immortals?), were supposed to be Iron Hands who had failed a mission, and were prepared to do anything to redeem themselves in the eyes of their brothers. So basically they are cyborg berserkers with riot shields.

    Also he mentioned a second Iron Hands special unit: Gorgon Terminators (of which the Morlocks were a part).
