If it's a C1 product, Alguaciles will be in it like Fusiliers and Zhanshi are in Kaldstrom despite having cad scupted miniatures already. I'm not sure we will see Moran in there because of the CrazyKoala miniature. The same goes for Carlota, because of Moriarty, and Jazz, because of Billie. I can see the Vostok being in the Beyond box.
Ugh, I really hope not. Because it's going to mean the box only comes with the Missile Launcher and Red Fury, forcing us to buy 2 Beyond boxes for those sweet sweet REMs.
You're going to be disappointed. It's obviously going to be 3 combi algs with EVA skins on, matching the winter fusis and zhanshis in kaldstrom
My guess for the contents are; 3 reskinned aggies Brigada SMR intruder Sombra EVAder and in Beyond EVAder Vostok Hellcat
maybe, instead of hellcat, we get the multi rifle tomcat... with the vostok and SMR intruder...all of them in boxes
I don't think we need yet another hellcat, we still have one in action pack and 2 in blister. A new wildcat or tomcat is more possible. And then make yet another mixed 3+1 box with wildcats + Evader box and then leave one profile as old blister like it was with Riot Grrrl w spitfire. Just 'cause. 3 Algs + one of each new unit look plausable, though not sure they'll add Brigada. Hmm... I wonder if we'll see Wolff as a limited edition mini for a pack... Or maybe even Jazz so every Nomad has to get the box. And If we look on the Code one chart there probably will be a new Dire Foes and a hero pack.
Given they released another MR Orc in Kaldstrom I wouldn't be surprised if we get another Brigada sculpt.
True. Would be nice if it would look unique like Orc (maybe some battle damage/field repair theme). Oh, and later we might expect a new Merc company from Corregidor+Kosmoflot
I think I haven't seen those concepts and artwork yet, could you please put some pictures or a link? EDIT: ok, I've found those concepts, they are in the Studio Update #6 - Summer Special Edition video on Infinity's YouTube channel.
The artwork does make it seem like Alguaciles are likely, especially with Kaldstrom having new Fusiliers and Zhanshi. That said, I can see two reasons against it: 1) If they do not do Wildcats, we will not have any. They could do a box later, but it would have to be Combi Rifle/Boarding Shotgun/Spitfire/Heavy Rocket Launcher, but (IMO) that is not enough. We need two Combis to hide our Lt and a Hacker would be nice. If they include Wildcats in the starter this would not be an issue. 2) They only just put the old Nomad starter (with Alguaciles & Mobile Brigada) into a new N4 box. That seems a poor investment in designing and printing the boxes if they scrap it a few months later. New Alguaciles and Mobile Brigada also seem a poor investment in sculpting and casting when they are both modern sculpts that look good, meanwhile there are other units with either no minis (eg Evaders) or old ones (eg Wildcats). I hope we do not get new Alguaciles, but I can see it as a realistic possibility.
Well, printing a box isn't that much of an expense when they don't really need to produce a whole lot, and they technically did it already with Wildfire also having a fairly short life, though a far greater number of units sold. Assuming a C1 in April/May that's around seven-nine months shelf life for the repackaged Nomad half of Icestorm before replacement, and if anything it may be more of a return for them to sell some repackaged/salvaged Nomad halves of Icestorm than to recycle them. We've also seen the perfectly fine PanO and YuJing minis of their starters replaced too, so the sculpts age and looks don't seem to be a huge factor. I do hope we get SOME new Wildcats in there.
Hmm.. Starters tend to have at least 3 basic LI troops + an HI, and the rest are Skirmisher or some specific HI or MIs. So I'm guessing... 3 Alguaciles 1 Evader 1 Wildcat 1 Moran a Mobile Brigada or an Intruder?(not sure) +Beyond pack might consists of 1 Sombra 1 Vostok
Doubt you'll see the moran, there are no perimeter weapons in C1 and currently no non-crazy koala profiles for the moran.
I reckon we will see Wildcats, a Hellcat, an Evader and maybe a Sombra. That'd be cool But I am hoping we get a two player box with Kosmoflot. Although in the background Kosmoflor and Corregidor are friendly so
There were new artworks for Evaders and Alguaciles - so I expect them to be in the CJC Starter. I would like to see that plus a new Tomcat and a new Wildcat sculpt.
Barring a surprise revamp of Steel Phalanx it's the most likely outcome for a C1 starter as things stand.
the alguaciles in the new image are very similar to old n1 alguaciles, so maybe is just a mix of the old and the new dessigns
