What's preventing, say, an Ojotnik in the left hand? (Or right hand since these previews tend to be mirrored from the actual model)
People were concerned about, "Why pair Ariadna with Aleph if that's denying their major strength of hacking" and I guessed they'd be giving Ariadna another hackable unit.
So given previous operation boxes have 1 side getting a beefy HI (Father knight, Al'Fassid) and the other side getting something lighter and more technical (Healer/Ninja), any wild speculation on what the Aleph piece will be? Something new? Something retouched? Probably something that needs a resculpt or a completely new sculpt right? This is the operation exclusive mini after all.
3/4 Operation: NounVerb exclusives have been new profiles, so I'm expecting a new Vedic unit as their Sectorial is also dropping at the same time. N. B. Technically I guess the Al Fasid was an update of the old Ahl Fassed but the model and profiles are so very different I'm counting Ol' Fussy as a brand new unit.
I’m hoping for either a dasyu, or naga even though I still love the old sculpt the scale difference is quite apparent in these.
What part of Icestorm or Red Veil is a verb? I don't get it. Wouldn't it be Operation: Adjectivenoun? Even Nounoun?

Why do you think the exclusive will be Aleph. Looking at the dossiers we have, and the image of the kazaks having a wardriver on the left, im going with it being the wardriver
To veil oneself in secrecy To storm the Bastille It also keeps the two syllable name format of the current boxes.
We have a double blister for the naga so my bet is a new Combi naga is certain. A dasyu seems likely too. All three of the existing ones still look really good, but a combi or hacker in the starter along with a repack of the other two seems likely. My bet would be that new troops added will not skew too heavily towards camo. Otherwise vanilla gets weird fast: better infiltration game than SEF with posthumans, Nagas, dasyus AND something new.

I think you misunderstood me. I'm not commenting on the 'neutral piece' I'm talking about the part of the operation box that's exclusive to a faction but not part of its starter box. For example in ice storm, the father knight is not part of the pano starter and the rev healer is not part of the nomad starter either. For this new box its clear the "sixth piece" for TAK is the Khador warjack. I'm wondering what the sixth aleph piece will be. What you're thinking of is the preorder exclusive miniature which is generally a merc and likely to be a wardriver in this case.
Not a fan of heavy infantry units with artillery/CC weapons. It's like the unit for Iron Harvest. Why spend so much to armor heavy infantry to do a job that infantry with deploy-able weapons can do just as well, and cheaper, with no added benefit (apart from maybe maneuverability)? If the fluff for the unit/pickaxe is re-purposed heavy mining exoskeleton I'm going to hang my head...
Yes, you can use any noun as a verb in English, but real languages have more precise rules ;-) Besides, the name of the operations are quite clearly not using the nouns as verbs, else what do you mean with "storming ice" or "veiling red"?
Psshh, we took your rules and "real" languages and used ALL of them, all the time, except when we don't! English is truly the most evolved language, it's just evolved in a really horrible way!
Icestorm features a Moto-tronica facility on the Ice world or Svalarheima being Stormed by Nomads Red Veil features secrets being veiled behind the front of a Yu Jing corporation (Yu Jing = China = Red), the shadowy Corp is Red Veiling it's secrets.
