RIOT QUEST

1. Keynote

First of all you can check keynote's presentation here: 

Between Riot Quest's prerelease and L&L2020 we will receive around 30 models to Riot Quest and all of them will be fully playable in Warmachine & Hordes. Each faction will receive at least one model. 

PP will fully support this game with larger boxes with models for treasure chests and spawn gates, 3D terrain and new game cards to use.

Will H. has said, that he presented a lot of crazy pitches for models, which were accepted. List of pitches inludes: 4 neigh slayers on one base with and each model will represent one of the four horsemans of apocalypse. There will be model of Helga2 on a motor bike (which resembles Meat Thresher)! And of course - Chuck Dougwood.

Organized play will introduce us to some various limited models. Each season there will be one new model with a lot of treasure and loot.

5. Warcaster: neo-machanika

Last, but not least... We will receive new SF miniature wargame. It will be different version of Warmachine in space and it will take 5000 years later, then current events in Iron Kingdoms. There won't be any space elves (at least at the beginning ;) ). Magic don't exist in this game and all gear will used new technology - neo-machnika. Game will introduce completely new rules set, but there will be some clear connection to Warmachine. First of all you will play Warcasters and Warjacks, which can be customized. It will be smaller scale game, then Warmachine (for example units will include only 3-5 models and on the table each player will have around 20-30 models). Game's pace will be much faster with some strategic vibe. Release will be at Lock & Load 2020.
