Chibi pig is completely grotesque and I love it. Imagine having that thing as a pet. If they made those markers I'd buy them instantly for absolutely no good reason.

Corvus Belli will include 6 Golden tickets inside the boxes of fat Yuan Yuan. The lucky to find one achieved: 1 Shirt Fat Yuan Yuan, 1 Patch Fat Yuan Yuan, 1 special marker of interplanetary iv and... a visit to corvus belli! Travel expenses and accommodation not included (valid until 30/12/2018)
I'm hoping for the Ayyar. That was HSN3's one unit where I saw it and had to try it. I hate proxying myself (though I don't mind others doing it) so I've never tried it.
Though the Ayyar release does call into question what's next for Haqqislam. Last I checked, the Ayyar will mark every unit having a model released. Qapu Khalki and Hassassin Bahram, outside of resculpts and models for existing profiles are done. Ramah Taskforce is a long way off still so I don't see Zhayedan and Khawarij boxes for a while.

Well, we've seen the renders for the Ayyar, so chances are good that he's coming very soon. Time for some new Haqq profiles in the near future? Maybe? I can see them going back and resculpting a lot of the Bahram units. Maybe some new boxes, like Ragiks?
Considering they put out this sniper shot all the way back in February and that the render was featured in the last seminar, I'm gonna' go ahead and guess on we'll see the Gecko pilot as May release.

Well then we have:
-Gorgos Pilot
-Gecko Pilots-- almost without doubt, just to complete the pilot releases.
And the renders seen at the Rt. 66 Rumble:
-Bagh-Mari HMG -Zhangying w/Combi and goofily sculpted greatcoat.
-Minutemen box
-Airborne Ranger with Molotok
-Highlander Grays T2 rifle in starter box(?)
-Mormaers T2 rifle in starter box(?)
-Caledonian Volunteers box or in starter box(?)
-Sukuel Command w/ML -Hassassin Ayyar
-Merc Major Lunaah
-Riot Grrls and the megacephalic tinbot box
-Danavas Hacker
Rumors of Hospitallers box and a new Jeanne D'Arc too.
So any 3 of them for this month. Take you pick. Something Caledonian? Maybe the starter (3 Volunteers, Mormaer, Highlander Gray and a Wulver)

Regarding the upcoming "Strikezone Wotan", we got some really interesting images...
Wotan Blockade at the start
PanOceanian Defense Platform
Haqqislam's "base"
Yu Jing Frigate
O-12 Security Module(serving as Ariadna's "home base"; O-12 has been using Ariadnan Expeditionary Forces for defense of the orbitals and the like at PanOceania since the AEF can't be sepsitorized by Voodoo Tech as they lack Cubes)
Nomad Shipyard
Also, for those unfamiliar with it the "Wotan Blockade" got introduced in Campaign: Paradiso.
It's part of the "Access Blockade"; the third defensive ring established around the wormholes connecting Paradiso with the rest of the Human Sphere.
Wotan links to Svalarheima. Daybreak links to Dawn(Ariadna) Abyss links to the edge of the Human Sphere; called "Human Edge". Sheyk links to Bourak.

Huh, first thought upon seeing that picture was "Relic Entertainment", as I thought I saw a batch of Tau drones and a Homeworld ship in the background.

Bostria said likely May for the Ayyar, but even if it pushes to August, it still means that's every unit represented.
I could see resculpts coming. Haqq are the most rescultped faction, after all. Both Bahram and QK have a lot of 2nd and even 1st edition sculpts, and some unfinished unit resculpts. Ragik box I don't see, they're AVA 4 in Bahram and 2 have blisters already. A double blister with 2 basic Rifles, possibly. A single blister with a Rifle, more likely. Most likely is the Rifle Ragik being in a resculpted Bahram starter. There's also a Rifle profile for Bashi Bazouks that needs a resculpt. There's an Asawira Boarding Shotgun profile, which I really hope leads to an Asawira box.
But I wouldn't say no to entirely new units sneaking in for RTF. Especially the new super soldiers.

Ah, these are the rumored May releases ( and thus previewed in April) according to Mayacast.
-- O-Yoroi Pilot-- I think a certain Dutchman will be happy. Well, as happy as someone who lives below sea level can truly be. No news on what it will look like. Best guess: Same body as the Luxumbra LE minis, but with different arms.
-- Gorgos Pilot -- we knew that already.
-- Gecko Pilot-- we figured that out.
-- Minuteman box-- we've just seen the video.
-- Major Lunaah-- The merc. Puzzled by this. Is this a Manga character, like Knob?
Also, repacks of the Zerats, the ORCs (no resculpts? C'mon already, CB ) and the Dactyls with Yudbots. (a support box for Steel Phalanx, presumably done in preparation for the release of the Steel Phalanx Army box.) I think the first two will be blisters of 2. Cutting down SKUs again.
Ayyar may be a may preview, June release. My guess.
The style of some of the concept art for Operation: Wotan ( It begins on a Wednesday? ) reminds me of some of the concept art I saw for that Elysium movie. I wonder if CB used the same artists?
Well, the updated renders to releases list:
-Bagh-Mari HMG -Zhangying w/Combi and goofily sculpted greatcoat.
-Minutemen box -Airborne Ranger with Molotok
-Highlander Grays T2 rifle in starter box(?)
-Mormaers T2 rifle in starter box(?)
-Caledonian Volunteers box or in starter box(?)
-Sukuel Command w/ML -Hassassin Ayyar
-Merc Major Lunaah -Riot Grrls and the megacephalic tinbot box
-Danavas Hacker

IIRC they said some combination of those models would be in the starter and some in an SWC box. Also IIRC they didn't show all of the renders. Sounds like it's a 3 in the starter, 4 in SWC box deal. They just picked 5 renders to show in a group.

I love it, but the Swiss Guard putting a hand to his helmet like he's receiving a radio call annoys me a little. It's an enclosed suit of power armour, is he really having trouble hearing?
The galaxy is littered with the single-planet graveyards of civilisations which made the economically sensible decision not to explore space.

He didn't have a hanger handy to increase the reception from his rabbit ears.

Perhaps he is jiggling his helmet because his head is itchy and he isn't authorized to remove his helmet. I can assume that power armor can produce powerful itches.
