The new Inquest has some sneaks...As usual, they did not print the actual bases so these abilities wordings are approximated by me and may differ on the actual pieces
Wicked Carriage (uncommon)
Anvilborn 4 / 6 / 8 for 7 spawn. At the beginning of the spawn phase the Wicked Carriage switches places with an adjacent ally. ::blade:: Fracture 4 opponent may disrupt the Wicked Carriage, gain 4 blade results.
Elite Gladiator (Common)
6 / 10 / 12 for 11 spawn and 2 Valor
Bladestrike Whenever Elite Gladiator is involved in an attack, roll 6 fewer dice and deal 6 damage plus a blade.
Writhing Sorcerer (Rare)
4 / 6 / 8 for 7 spawn and a 2 fear.
Unknow 5 Place any figure in your opponents reserves with spawn cost 5 or less into the graveyard. Mind Mulch Gain 1 spawn point the turn after an opposing creature goes from their reserve to the graveyard.
I'm not sure if unknow is a comes into play ability, a blade ability,or a costed one...
Bloodbound Skeever (Rare)
4 / 3 / 5 for 8 spawn and a passion.
Bloodtax:When this figure enters play conquest points from claimed cells are nullified for the turn.
aka only kills and gambits count for the turn, this will be real interesting with ole hammerhead...

I wanted to make an aside here...
They chew up the 1st month of product release with limited events. Then they give us 3 weeks of constructed play. Then they start rolling out the previews on the next set.
Anyone else think a 4 month rotation with 80 pieces per set may be better than a 3 month rotation with 60 pieces per set?
That being said...
Carriage... We'll have to see the exact wording on this guy to really know. But a 4/6/8 for 7 seems playable if the abilities pan out. I'm already liking the idea of the Drive mechanic; the spawn phase move thing. I think all the Anvilborn may have that ability.
Gladiator... I LOVE anything that begins to take the dice out of the game. And it's a good warm body. I'm just not sure if it's going to make the cut as an 11 drop. Still, it gives me hope that the designers are willing to go that direction. I'm hoping that in 2 years I can play whole games where the dice just don't matter. Dice don't like me, and I don't like them much. =p
Sorcerer... Seems spendy for what you get. I'm guessing this guy will be a HOUSE in limited. Good warm body, and for 5 you get to purge low drops. As I recall, in CP limited, running out of low drops was sometimes a REALLY bad thing.
Skeever... Seems neat. Probably combos well with IRP, and maybe Arch. It's going to be a trick to time. You'll need to have 8 at a time when playing this guy is to your advantage, and I can think of some times when he's the right spawn cost to play, but it's not the right time to play him.
Thanks for grabbing these Matt. You should collect all the previews here. =)

I rock! Wicked carriage seems decent. It may even make dominatrix playable. I LOVE the gladiator's ability, though 11 may be too expensive. I'd like to see it something smaller with a similar ability -- maybe 4 damage and a blade which would boost the damage stat curve a bit. Sorcerer seems ok -- I can see an army which runs through your opponent's reserves with this guy, night queen and mindstrike getting to be viable. I don't like the skeever as much -- cool ability, but pricy for what you get. By the way -- Thanks Jeff.  |

Jeff... Matt... Dave...
It's all one evil hive mind DBM team right?
Sorry Jeff. Thank you for grabbing these. I guess that lets Matt off the hook and leaves you responsible for gathering all the previews to one place. =)

some of these peices seem rather interesting, our meta game may have a complete overhall with a few of these pieces

There was also a great article in the latest Scrye with several new pieces and their abilities, I didn't get a chance to pick it up though, just look at it there.
BTW, Matt, you might want to pick up this issue of scrye, you're in it in the Wizkids section. The Champion pack you are in comes out in May.

The soul slicer, unwishing well, and carriage in particular seem very strong. As a random thought, I wonder how W. Carriage intacts with temple lion. Z |

The newest Scyre has some sweet previews, the madness peices up on the Wizards site are sweet, and the best part of the Scrye was the ad for Dreamblade in it that shows 4 or so Anvilborn figs. One of them has Charge 5 and has a power of 5 and has a drive ability so its moving every turn!
