[Veterans neded] Other factions "Flavour"?

What kind of gameplay can we expect from each of these factions?
[...]
Hydra very tough but slow [...]

About the Hydra as I said they used to be a very underpowered army. They are actually not that tough compared to the Boar dwarves and in the tabletop Possessed was a very weak trait especially compared to Hard Boiled. As for their play style they are weirdos. They are the only darkness army to have orthodox priests and can field all sorts of other strange units.

The thing that worked best for them was to have a very strong priest character + a Chtonian larvae (the thing in my avatar) as the core of the army. The larvae is a monster that provide a regenreration aura, can use the heal skill and sometime gobble up a dead dwarf and spit him out alive !

They have also little flying imps called flayers, centaur like dwarves made with "spare parts", Incubus with the lower body of a caterpillar. Very few ranged unit but boy are they weird. The fire-spitter isn't really that strange, but the others are... Towers, towers that move and shoot at peoples. Don't ask. Probably the hardest ranged units to deal with in melee...

So yeah in the end they are a slow, not that tough army, but with a very annoying ability to heal back, even from death. They love long running fight where the Possessed trait and the ability to heal will give them the edge.

You know, whenever a griffon is cleaning his house and finds an old stake in his cellar, he burns it at the stake.

Mid-Nor might have been underpowered, but they had some awesome minis. I am looking forward to seeing those guys in action. Prowlers of the Abyss, Yh-Ibenseth, the Demonic Tower. Those could be some cool characters.

Mid nor was one of the most outstanding lore and design around... Rackham (RIP) made a wonderfull work with them. (well with almost all their army)

Very looking forward some new army, but i understand devs want to take their time to focus on balance mechanics and other game feature before realease new stuff.

I really hope Scorpion is the next Darkness to be added. That looks so cool I may give up Lion.

Personally I would like to see Scorpion next, too, because I played them alot during the old tabletop games. But I'm also very interested in Mid-Nor, just to see how they will be implemented.

About Griffin army i see it that way:

Conscript or Templar
Fusilier (TOU 1-3 ;])
Inquisitor
Executor
Chaplain or Magistrate
Thalion or Templar
Pretorian Guard
...Griffin?
