Last year at about this time they printed on the back of No Quarter two damage grids super-imposed on each other as a teaser for the announcement of colossals at Templecon (Feb 1 this year). The current NQ (which I still do not have my copy of and which war room still has not updated to contain the model spoilers released in it) has a message in a new alphabet on the back. All the PP alphabets are just cyphers, the message in this one reads - "Iterative successes converge toward our inevitable victory". PP have released a NQ with a new alphabet in it before, right before they released the Retribution of Scyrah so it's possible that it could be a new race. There are some rumours of what it could be on the PP forums. The Cult of Cyriss is being tossed around a fair bit as are Infernals. The Cyriss is the god of machines and mathematics. Infernals are a race of otherwordly daemons or alien like creatures who occasionally deal with or manipulate humans (The fluff indicates that Thamar may have made a deal with them to give humans magic). There is already a thamarite language so it's not them (BOOO!). There is a little bit of noise being made too for a cephalyx contract as though they are technically ally models you can't take them in any Merc armies as of yet.
Anyway PP have indicated that there is going to be a big announcement on Feb 1 so we'll all just have to wait until then (Feb 2 Australia time). My guess is that it's going to be a new Merc contract for the Cult of Cyriss. At least that's what I want. Especially if there is crossover with the jacks (i.e. like the pirate jacks not like the rhulic jacks).
