Obviously rules-wise it's not just gonna be HaleyMerged because PP would literally be burned to the ground, but fluff-wise it's easy to believe that Haley3 is gonna be a coven of time-traveling Haleys.
It's not going to be just a model, it's going to be a entire book. Crisis on Infinite Haleys, one for every faction and Merc contract/minion pact.
So, my warcaster is Haley 3, she's backed up by Haley -i.5 (the one whose mind got transplanted into a jack during the Cyriss event that happened three years in the future on an alternate timeline last Tuesday) and of course a couple of squads of time traveling Haleys (should that be plural or singular?) for support.

Haley 3 is a warcaster unit consisting of Haley 0, Haley 2, and Haley 3.

Easiest way to balance the game. If everyone has access to the same OP caster, then things are obviously balanced.
It'd basically be a ton of alternate-universe Haleys sort of like that one event they had for PG's with the bizarro-world warcasters.
What if Haley was born to dwarf parents?
What if Haley grew up in Ord and decided to become a privateer?
What if Haley really liked furry hats?
What if Haley was a elf?
What if Haley was a robot?
What if Haley was a cannibalistic swamp-liver that creeps the math out of the local gatormen tribes she trades with?
What if Haley was a xenobiology student at Corvis university under the Doc and followed him when he got kicked out?

I like that you left out Cryx because Cryx already has alternate-universe Haley and she's even worse than Haley.
I kinda like him, if he had been around back in MKI I may have had to seriously consider Menoth since I like the concept of the Paladins.

Beauty is definitely in the eyes of the beholder. He really looks like a neo-Darius to me. And I would be hard pressed to call Darius a beautiful model ... I can't see past how impossibly far apart his legs are.

The thing I love about the concept of warcaster unit Haley is that unless something awful happens at PP, the version with 3 of her will be the worst one. :P
Very exciting concept though.
I was wondering when the Efaarit were going to come out. They will definitely be welcome.
And hey, something from the *next* book.
Coordinated groups of skilled warriors, croak raiders employ a powerful two-pronged attack. Working in pairs, one raider lobs hollowed gourds to soak an enemy with a highly flammable liquid, and then another launches a flaming projectile from an atlatl to ignite the enemy in a pyre of flame. This devastating combination has allowed them to eradicate even more numerous and technologically advanced foes.

She can be better than Haley1.
But you are absolutely correct that if Super Future Haley is better than Present Haley, the game will be suuuuuper fucked.
Mischievous and malicious in the extreme, gremlins delight in rooting around in mechanikal constructs with the intent of causing as much damage as possible for their own amusement. These mysterious grymkin are attracted to the hiss and clank of warjacks on the battlefield and have been known to bring mechanized weaponry grinding to a halt at the most inopportune times.

No, actually, he was talking about the PP Invitational-only Warcasters. The what-if ones. Haley ended up in Cryx and had a bonus for getting fielded with Deneghra.

I had missed that bit about Deneghra's background, AND I hadn't even known that the invitational Warcasters were even a thing.

Man I can't wait for Iron Kindoms Unleashed later this month. I've always been interested in the Iron Kingdoms RPG, and I like the Hordes races and Western Immoren stuff, so this seems like a good time to consider getting into it. Book's probably going to be pretty expensive though.
Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if Labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. - Lincoln
I too am hyped for Unleashed. I don't play the wargame, but flipping through a friends Mk2 book made me fall in love with the setting. So much so that I flipped my hardcore D&D3.5 IRL group to IKRPG. It was not a hard sell.
I am very much looking forwards to the upcoming face eating that will be going on at my table.

That does sound like a pretty good opportunity. 60$ is a fairly hefty price tag, but not that much for a big core rulebook I suppose. I guess I'm just antsy because I've got like 100$ to spend and I've managed not to spend it on anything for months and months.

Victoria Haley has risen through the ranks of the Cygnaran Army to become one of the most potent arcanists in recorded history. Her mastery over the flow of time allows her to conjure echoes of herself from the past and future to fight at her side. By her unprecedented powers, Major Prime Victoria Haley bends the fabric of time and shatters the fundamental laws of reality as she outpaces and outfights the foes of Cygnar.

I'm sure it'll be a fun warcaster unit but I'd rather have seen all three of them on a large, scenic base with crazy temporal power stuff connecting them all together allowing future Haley to fly high without the cloak on the base gimmick.
Why is PP so apposed to clear flying stands? I think that looks better than the tricks they us to make things vaguely appear to be hovering.

In this case I think it's less about flying stands and more about not wanting to design a light enough sculpt to not break the stand immediately. You can't put a metal version of that model on a flying stand and they're not going to release a non-starter box Warcaster in plastic.

So, my warcaster is Haley 3, she's backed up by Haley -i.5 (the one whose mind got transplanted into a jack during the Cyriss event that happened three years in the future on an alternate timeline last Tuesday) and of course a couple of squads of time traveling Haleys (should that be plural or singular?) for support.

Oh and if you pay for a pre-order at your local store you can send in a picture of the receipt and PP will give you a free digital copy of the book.

I do like those new Minions models, though.
