I wonder what is in "Hassassin expansion pack Alpha?" The only common Hassassin model that currently needs a proxy is the Asawira Doctor? Maybe a Nadhir AP Marksman? Or a new boarding shotgun Fiday?
A second bokhtar is also an option. Potentially showing up with D-charges on the sculpt, to cover all the remaining profiles. Theoretically also a second shujae, but I'm doubtful.
Like I said, I think it will be a Fiday. As soon as Blackwind is turned into Action Packs, the Haqq side will be the new "Haqqislam" action pack (because it's C1), which replaces the current "Haqqislam" Action Pack of Red Veil minis. Chances are that stuff will either go completely out of production (since RTF has already begun to retire), or it will be repacked into a pure RTF Action Pack. Either way, the only currently available Fiday will vanish with it. Which means they should bring out a new one.
Fiday with BSG is still sold in blister though (even if it's one of the "very" old reference). It could be a repack of some sort. Fiday (BSG or Red Veil one) Ragik (Red Veil) Ayyar (Viral Pistol) Would look close to the C1 booster pack alpha so I'm unsure about that, but it's a possibility. And if you want to keep the Red Veil minis in the box, it could be: Fiday BSG Ayyar (Viral Pistol) Yara Haddad. But this one sounds unlikely to me because of Yara.
Plus, the current Fiday is the CCW-only-universal-proxy that can represent any Fiday profile (the original 1gen one actually came with a rifle to put on his back, even if hardly anybody really did that). OTOH, CB logic is hard to grasp sometimes. I have long wondered why there is no asawira box of 3 or maybe 4 models - Spitfire, Doc (no long gun on the model, so he can stand in for either BSG or Rifle Doc), Rifle and Shotgun (replace the last two with a generic CCW Asawira in case of a 3-model set). Bang, done, one release, one SKU, unit covered for as long as there's no resculpt of it.

Updating my Release Schedule and adding in my latest personal predictions, what are everyone else's guesses as to the "Think Big" teaser for GenCon this year? My money is on a bunch of (I'm betting on six) TAG resculpts in siocast. Specifically: Tikbalang Guijia Maghariba Iguana Avatar Scarface
I think that’s certainly possible, but they are more likely to make new TAGs. Re-sculpts don’t sell as well as new, and certainly not the same sculpt in new material. I’m sure they want players that already have them to also buy. They could do re-sculpt of the TAGs that have had no availability for a long time: Tik, Drago, Uhlan, Scarface. Even though Maggy is still available, I don’t think many would complain if it was done is siocast. I would love for Yu Jing to get a third TAG (I don’t count Triphammer). The Triphammer is a possibility too. They could do Triphammers in different styles to fit the force.
They haven't announced it in an article, but maybe tomorrow, Gamer Grass and Corvus Belli have formed an association to release pre-painted bases for Infinity. For the moment, there's a range for Panocenia (winterfor), Haqqislam and Nomads. https://store.corvusbelli.com/en/wargames/infinity/accesories Spoiler: Gallery
My understanding is that moving from metal to siocast means resculpt as the molding process requires different material entry/exit point so it is the opportunity to propose a different pose at that time. I can see anthromorphic tags alternative poses quite an easy thing, but for vehicle like tags (as Maggie), it not obvious to propose something really different. Or then a complete new version of the tag with major physical change, which could be another lover/hater endless debate. Still, I'm curious about the big thing and I'd bet on the whole tag casting being siocasted.
Well, as Robert Shepherd points out in his latest video, you'll want to include a Libertos, MBH, or Greif Operator anyway to get to a full army...
General release of the plastic Triphammers from TAG Raid would be easy and useful. I already have them, but would be tempted to re-buy them just for kitbashing. The TAG Raid versions were short on guns, having some with the actual Triphammer loadouts would be neat.
Hmm, there were 4-5 TAGs there, memory serving....? PanO, YJ, Nomad and Ariadnan, plus Morat in the expansion, if memory serves me? Were they made from Siocast, in-house by CB? If so, making them with weapons means adjusting the digital sculpts, and making new casting moulds. So, 5 more SKUs to cover a single entry inthe Army? Nah, I honestly seriously doubt CB would ever do that.
I heard something from a player in my group that they are going to use the Toy Joy company to make TAGs. Has anyone else heard this? I asked him if he was talking about the series of Infinity figures from ToyJoy but he said no. Actual TAGs for the game.
