Pistoleer's are pretty much just that, gunfighters with expertise with the pistol. There is also a Rifleman p[restige class to offer two routes to go down in terms of weapon expertise.
The Blackclad is a prestige Druid class. Blackclads are elite members of the Circle. Think bad ass druids with a penchant for creating Woldwardens (constructs that fight at the behest of the Blackclads will).

Very cool in concept! We''ll see how it goes over in gameplay!
Basically a divine caster can only safley heal a number of HP in one day that equal to 10+wis modifier x class level ( healing Domain allows double this though ). If he tries to go above this, he must roll a d6 on the Pain of healing mishap chart. Effect range from being fatigued to the caster being dealt the damage he was trying to heal ( and the spell not working ! ) . The is a pain of being healed mishap chart too!
Basically healing is nerfed a small bit in the IK
Coming back from the dead is nerfed bigtime!
Raise dead is a NINTH level spell, and ressurection and true ressurection are not available ( unless you deal with infernalist perhaps! - outside of rule guidelines ) Even if you do raise dead, the caster must make a will save of DC 15+ level of being raised or some realy bad things can happen! Worst case scenario - caster could die if he missess save and rolls bad on mishap chart -

Dude, this so rocks. My only problem? Cash flow. I've been saving all my discretionary money for the big trip we just took, now I'm hoarding all discretionary money to make up for the budget over-runs of our big trip! 
But within a month or so I'll have this book. Maybe I'll even wait until I can pick up both campaign guides together.

kind; the Steam & Iron Workers Union is the leading
example in Cygnar of such an organization, but there
are several lesser and more local equivalents springing
up here and there. Mechaniks interested in learning
the highest secrets of arcane mechanika must seek out
a master in the fi eld—it is known that the Order of the
Golden Crucible in Llael boasts of many a savant within
their ranks. Less common, though still possible, is for an
arcane mechanik to receive training by the military, such
as the Strategic Academy in Cygnar, where a well-paid
splinter faction of arcane mechaniks develop and test a
Arcane mechaniks are certainly most prevalent
among humans. Dwarves and gobbers have a natural
knack for mechanikal things and thus perform well
as arcane mechaniks; unfortunately fi nding training
is a diffi cult matter for gobbers, making gobber arcane
mechaniks a rare sight, and trollkin and ogrun arcane
mechaniks are virtually unheard of.
Arcane mechaniks tend to get along fairly well with
most classes. As creators at heart, they have an innate
drive to analyze and provide for the needs of others,
which makes them fairly accommodating in general. In a
group they gravitate naturally to a support role, though
their inventions are often known to take the lead.

There are many factions detailed in the book, most of them are religious or arcane orders though. I expect more region/political factions to be detailed in the World Guide.
