Just been reading a certain forthcoming Army Book for Fantasy, that may or may not be released in the next couple of squeaks.
And there are a few interesting things in it which I reckon might well be the shape of things to come.
For instance, Artillery. Both bits have a single combined Profile, ala a Chariot. Rather than randomise hits from shooting/ranged magic, you simply use the Artillery's toughness value. In HTH, you use the crews toughness. A single wound track is used, and once all wounds are gone (regardless of how they were inflicted) the whole shebang is removed.
Furthermore, it does indeed appear partial hits are going, which I for one am quite glad about, as they added a not entirely necessary extra roll when splatting stuff.
Am still digging my way through the book, and will report back should I spot any further possible inklings.
