Tohaa classic are gone we all know it, even if all do not want to face it. They would not have made the announcement to pull back a few months later. Itll be an NA2 army for sure. My guess is a surprise one white star or something similar or maybe foreign company.... but not a lot of new stuff in there to release. Only other off the wall would be caledonian ...but that feels unlikel .
This is fun...my prediction It will not be Tohaa It will not be NA2 I hope it is O-12, but it is going to be Ramah (no reason or logic, just want Ramah if I cannot get O-12) Regardless of what it is, hoping for good, dynamic poses and few tactical rocks.
Definitely not Ramah. The Haqqislam starter from Red Veil is also the Ramah starter, as all the units are from there.
Not "look, I know what will happen", but a case of "last time I checked". Timeline is becomeing a Warp-infused thing nowadays... yearly "advances" after more than a decade of freezing...
I personally think it will not be a sectoral force as that is far too limiting. I'm confident it will be 2 vanilla forces. As many above have already said, much of the tohaa are gone, so I forsee a tohaa vs Combined army set. The current CA starter is very onyx centric so I can see a re release there featuring some of the EI units and nox troopers. However it ends up I'm sure the sculpts, deals, offers and exclusives will be pretty great.
That would go against most, if not all, previous operations, in which (aside from Icestorm) the starter were all sectorial ones.
What sectorials are in red veil? You could loosy argue that coldfront is TAK but all units are solid bases in Vanilla ariadna, same with the aleph side, IMHO is more vanilla than oss. Maybe it's a perspective thing?
Out of the 6 starters in the 2 player boxes, 3 of them (Haqq, Ariadna and Aleph) work as sectorial starters.
That's the whole point though, they're 'starters', a gateway which allows you to play vanilla or open a door into something else if you want to outlay more funds
Is anyone arguing differently? The point is, we may see a Shasvastii starter in the set. Like the other 3, it could still allow you to play vanilla or focus on Shasvastii.
Bureau Aegis vs Shasvaasti ITS prize box foreshadowing: Guijia and Victor Messer Matches up: one model for each faction.
So they tricked us ... funny, but on the serious side we could never trust Bostria again Year of the Tohaa not so much, year if the alien? Maybe.
