Should I be That Guy? hate being That Guy. But know something, so I'm going to be That Guy.... Ahem. not so. The USArianda startr box comes with three grunts, and their AVA in vanilla is 2.
.... I feel dirty now.
The galaxy is littered with the single-planet graveyards of civilisations which made the economically sensible decision not to explore space.

Yes, each sectorial starter that CB has ever produced can be run in its entirety in vanilla lists and their respective sectorial lists. However, if you buy the Bakunin and Corregidor starters, you would not be able to run all the models from both boxes in a specific sectorial list because Corregidor doesn't have access to Bakunin-specific units and vice versa. You could, however, just run a non-sectorial vanilla Nomads army and run everything from the Bakunin and Corregidor boxes. It'd be a bit unfocused and you'd have to split it into two subgroups (due to eachbeing limited to 10 orders among your 12 troops), but it's very much a legal list with a bunch of points and SWC to spare:
Thanks for the info. Are those really the contents for the starter pictured above for Bakunin? Or am I mistaking the preview above for a starter when it isn't one?

I really like this box... except for the Kriza. It's not a particularly bad model or anything, but it just seems way to bulky to me. Almost comically so. The rest of the set looks great though. I absolutely love the Securitate, and probably would have bought the box JUST for them. The Heckler looks like an FWC Warlock, which I love. And the Hollow Man is super neat.
I've never had any interest in Nomads, but I'll be getting this box and building at least a small force. Although not right away. I'm still concentrating on JSA.

Angel Giraldez posted more photos of the Tonguska box to his Facebook page, including different angles of all the individuals. Also not blown away by the Kriza. It's a solid model, but it's not amazing like the Mobile Brigada resculpt was. The Hollow Man is also just OK for me, it's a solid model but shares too many design elements with Combined/Onyx for my taste. Oddly enough, it's the Securiate that are my favorite models from this starter, the sunglasses and earpieces really make them look like hitech armed and armored private security goons from any dozen different movies and videogames throughout the years.

Yeah I love those Securiate models, especially the girl with the pink hair. Also nice to see that she is of a similar height and build to her male counterparts, but I guess CB have gotten better about that recently. Certainly models I'd pick up to add to my "I should really play Infinity some day" pile
Wow! I love those! I had wondered if they might pack the Kempeitai with the Keisotsu. Glad they did.
Love the poses. Love that each looks like a real individual person. I didn't actually think I'd be buying this box since I really like the old models, but I guess i'll have to now.

Tunguska box is out towards the end of June, correct? And there should be an Army update around then with the new/changed profiles?
“Good people are quick to help others in need, without hesitation or requiring proof the need is genuine. The wicked will believe they are fighting for good, but when others are in need they’ll be reluctant to help, withholding compassion until they see proof of that need. And yet Evil is quick to condemn, vilify and attack. For Evil, proof isn’t needed to bring harm, only hatred and a belief in the cause.”

If only they sold a box with Keisotsu infantry having just riffles/options to take different weapons rather than those shown on the picture. I would love to buy multiple boxes if that was the case.

Am I the only one getting tired of seeing minis painted in black and white and red?
These are an improvement over the previous Keisotsu, IMHO.
Still pending are:
-Kazak HMG -Yu Jing support pack
-Aristeia! smoke and mirrors
-the obligatory re-pack, Hassassin Ragiks. (spitfire and the romper stomper hacker. terrible mini, the latter.)

Seeing? No. Painting? Yes. It's one of the main reasons my Onyx box hasn't even been assembled, too many armies are variations on the same reds, blacks and grey/white.

I wonder if you could use Fusiler, Zhanshi or Celestial Guard arms to convert these to Combi Rifle models?

That's the standard green we've seen on Line Kazaks and the art for Kazak stuff basically since day one.
