The Taigha Creatures from Shasvastii were mentioned.
gamenerdz jumped the gun. New box preorder for operation Wildfire and it's probably the most expensive one with a retail price of $132 (discount price of $92.47).
Waiting for my shill money from Spiral Arm Studios
Maybe it has tags?
Self-proclaimed evil Cat-person. Dues Ex Felines
Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.
It could be a TAG for each side, although $30 extra for a TAG is on the cheap side. But it would be something they haven't done before. I think its more likely that it comes with a few extra troops to make a full 300 point list. Something like a regular 2 player starter + the Beyond box. Although I was under the impression that the Beyond boxes sold really well and were a great gateway into the game for new players after the 2 player starters, so its hard to imagine they'd want to give that up. Maybe new non-paper terrain?
What armies do we think it will be? We've never seen CA in a 2 player starter, so Shas seems likely. Tohaa seem like a good fit, except they just got a big release, and it would be weird (but cool) to see two new Tohaa starters in just 6 months. Maybe one of the N3 armies? Is there any speculation? I've been ignoring Infinity for a few months.

They could be smaller TAGs to explain the cheaper price, or only one side has a TAG.

Sergeant Cadin Donn will always be at the forefront of any operation. His unhealthy thirst for adventure has earned him the well-deserved nickname of 'Firststrike' among his peers.
"I will swallow your soul"
Because bringing knife to a gun fight is always smart thing to do,lol....though, that's why you bring 2 knives xD...but then enemy brings 2 guns as we can see in pic above
Probably will not be Ariadna or Aleph, since they were in the previous Operations box. I think Shas is a good bet because we have not received a lot of their models and we know they are coming soon. Invincible Army, Varuna and Spiral Corps. all have new starter sets. Maybe this one will be for Ramah Taskforce (although the basic Haqqislam starter works really well for Ramah...)?

They literally said when it dropped that the Haqqislam starter was Ramah.

Well, not sure whom we would get since all the other candidates have new starter sets. Maybe something for Foreign Company or Dashat?
Right now, the contenders are a new NCA box(needed) vs Shasvastii--which could work since the Shasvastii have been trying to infiltrate Neoterra.
I used Mystery for a reason. They could pull a surprise with something that's not been in the fluff. Doubt it but it's a possibility. Though I do agree that a PanO starter would make most sense. Restart all the boxes, keep PanO in first of the new round, discontinue Icestorm.

Or they make a starter for one of the new mercenary companies.

I mean outside of the REMs
Dismounted Maverick for the USARF Army Pack's preorders.
The Foxtrot Ranger from the USARF box.
The starter pack Maverick can't be a FO (no shotgun FO option) if you say that about the binoculars neither of the Marauders that sport them can be FOs, the foxtrot might be but he just has the radio that basically all other ariadna models sport on their bacpack
