Breaking news: The Lion are apparently filled to the brim with humility and not at all traditional/hide-bound, contrary to something like every single prior presentation of the Lion ever. This relates somehow to their use of scouts. Oh, did I mention that Lion Scouts are the Emperor Edition theme preview for this week? The Shadow of the Pride, it would seeem, is going to also be the Imperial Legion unit that the Lion won for donating the most Glory points during the Empire’s Glory mega-game.

Also puzzling is the continued letdown of some players to themes that are not completely outside the box.
