New Cyber Set Artillery Avatar: Cyber Artillery

As the Ascension Epicenters blossomed across Newerth, the extraterrestrial intelligence shared among them quickly realized they would need to adapt their technology and tactics to finally stop Parallax and the Artificers. With the suspicious, muttering help of Tork the Engineer and Kurran of the Artillery Corps, the Epicenters began designing and manufacturing armor and weaponry that could destroy the alien race as well as any Newerth-born threat. As the prototypes were completed, Kurran asked his elite Artillery Corps for volunteers. As one, the men and women stepped forward, just as Kurran expected. He considered the usual method of deciding who should get the honor of going first when it came to new equipment or a particularly dangerous mission a massive battle royal with the last warrior standing earning the prize but there was no time for such fun and games.
Instead, he pointed at a rock. "The first one to"
The rock exploded, shattered into shards and dust from a single shot fired by one of his top gunners.
"I was going to say touch that rock," Kurran said, "but that'll do." He pulled the soldier out of the ranks and patted him on the back. "Good luck lad. Suit up and lay waste to the enemy. And I truly hope you don't explode."

New Heavy Armor Sand Wraith Avatar: Khamsin

As the Third Corruption boils to the surface of Newerth, it is becoming lethally obvious that the current state of weapons and armor even the highly advanced Ascension kits are not sufficient. The Legion must fortify itself with armor strong enough to withstand this new breed of chaotic and crushing daemonic shock troops, and to do so the Engineers and Blacksmiths will have to rely on ancient methods and skills nearly forgotten in this modern age. The result will be armor nearly too thick to bear, but it will let the front ranks stand firm against the relentless impacts of the Hellbourne heavies lumbering out of The Scar.
Khamsin is an ancient bedouin spirit warrior from The Great Waste who has resisted the war between the Legion and Hellbourne until now, knowing it would take him away from his homeland and the constant battle to keep the damned Sand Wraiths at bay. There has been a lull in the storm, however, as the Hellbourne prepare for the Third Corruption, and Khamsin's ability to move swiftly even under the heavy burden of thick plate is a blessing the Legion Blacksmith's would not have dared pray for prior to the desert warrior's unexpected and timely arrival.

New Heavy Armor Salomon Avatar: Shaytan

The Shaytan djinns once relied on subtle methods of corruption, such as whispering into the very hearts of mortals to coax them toward committing evil acts, but after an eternity condemned to the lowest pits of All Hells they have devoted themselves to a much more direct approach. Namely, driving a searing, bladed staff into the very hearts of mortals and cleaving it in two, regardless of their armor or pleas for mercy. It's much faster, and deliciously satisfying.

One of the new breed of Hellbourne heavies is the Dreadmace, an unstoppable fiend with impenetrable armor covered in wickedly sharp spikes that ooze corruption from the deepest pits of All Hells. These shock troops are bred for one purpose: shatter the Legion lines and drive a spike of fear and hopelessness directly into the heart of Sol's most devoted warriors.
