    But with a very large number of pre-CAD sculpts in it. Compare the size of Wildcats to new Hellcats and Intruders.


    And salt from the forum! :laughing:

    I really wouldn't be all that surprised to see another Pano or YJ release. Those guys are the big money makers and probably have the biggest margin of non-players purchasing them. I think JSA was like bottled lightening for them as it sold gangbusters for just a single 300 point box and they don't see nearly as much returns when they box something like Corregidor or MO.

    There's been fairly strong indications that White Banner and Svalarheima are going to be an Operation release. For this reason I do not think this is in the cards for 2019.

    Wildcard Brigadas and MultiHMG on Iguana :P

    We have ca. 50 SKU alltogether – it looks close by margin and leaves some near just couple of completely new troopers for RTF and several new profiles. So I suspect we'll see QK shelved.

    Well, great. Now we need Spanish advice concerning whether that egg and onions dish allows other ingredients, or if it’s just eggs and onions. Otherwise there’s going to have to be artichoke and durian “salad” (a no-lettuce salad) with a side of hexagon cut hash browns.

    And probably tea. :flag-gb:

    A nice pot of lapsang souchong, the smokiness would nicely complement the oniony omelette-y thing rather well.

    Its kinda funny how people are afraid of QK gettinh the axe when most units are mercs that will continue to be in production cause of the new merc sectorals. Sure sekban, odalisques, azzy, hafzas and maybe djans can be put out, but the other units are generic haqq and mercs that for sure will still be in production.

    I don't imagine that the new Spitty Odalisque is going anywhere even if QK gets put out to pasture, the Djanbazan also have a good chance of staying as they're important to Vanilla.

    Would be really appropriate. Also, Operation whatever boxes have been released every 2 years, starting in 2014, so any Operation box is going to be in 2020.

    Nope! it's been retired from the oficial store after black friday

    If corregidor is discontinued, Say good bye to the following:
    • Corregidor Starter
    • wildcat spitfire
    • Wildcat Rocket-launcher
    • Tomcat box
    • Carlota kowalski
    • Iguana (yeah, QK is probably also gonna be discontinued, so no problems there)
    • Gekos
    • Intruder HMG,
    • Old Intruder Sniper
    • Moran maasai BS
    • Moran maasai combi
    As you see there are quite some references even without taking out the stuff of Starco and de flamestrike contents.
    Of course is entirely posible that some of this references stay due to Vanilla needs, or It may be posible that they give corregidor a goodbye with a last reesculpt like the one they gave to MRRF with the chasseur.

    The same thing as I've previously stated about corregidor applies here

    Yeah, a lot of troops of QK might still be available, but a lot of references can disappear.
    • Qk starter
    • Janisaires
    • janisaire HMG
    • Kaplan box
    • Azrail Feuerbach
    • Azrail HMG
    • Odalisqe box (probably the new oen will remain like the chasseur)
    • Djambanzan box
    • Sekban box
    • Iguana
    But it's probable that some of this can remain, either inside Ramah (like what will happen to leila sharif) or inside an hypothetical NA2 based on Haqqislam like the Dasyat company or Beiham. Two mercenary companies maned on the fluf with Haqqislamite roots

    I thought so too until I reread the "what's happening in 2019" blog post. They specifically mention a Battle Pack (same name used for the Operation Boxes) as coming for GenCon

    That all seems very plausible and many of those models are either older and/or have scale issues (which I never minded much personally) and I wouldn't be devastated to see them go oop for a little bit, but they'll have to pry the geckos and iguana out of my cold, dead hands.

    Seriously, geckos might be my favorite model to paint and experiment with colors out of the whole range

    On the Corregidor side I think you're bang on with those predictions barring the Iguana. I think it's better in vanilla so they could keep it around.

    As for a going away present, maybe they'll finally resculpt the Morans. I can only assume the old models have been kept on life support because it was the cheapest way to buy Koalas.

    They can drop QK starter, Janissars pack, Al'Hawwa repack, Sekbans pack, Sekban HRL, Hafza Spitfire, Kaplan pack and Kaplan Spitfire without any meaningful impact for the faction (let's face the truth: QK is not popular nowadays. At least until several lucky Interplanetario crit rolls more).

    There are rumors that the girls will be part of RTF, if they aren't, Odalisques pack can be removed too.

    That's up to 9 SKUs, 6 even if said silly rumors of Dahshat and RTF have touch of the reality.

    To say the true, I would like to see an update for Qapu Khalqi even as a goodbye kiss. Without it we are just variation of Ikari as our sectorial features became de-facto standard options for everyone and their dog :(

    UPD as Mc_Clane mentioned, also Azrails. It's 8-11 SKUs then.



    It would be awesome! Of course if it won't be another fantasy skin.
