There is counter speculation concerning O-12: At Adepticon, when asked about O-12, Bostria denied the possibility of O-12 this year.

Anything with Bostria needs to be taken with huge, huge, huuuuuuuuge piles of salt.

He's been better lately, especially on when certain units will be out, but I could see him not wanting to spoil a faction in the new starter if O-12 was it. No one really expects him to say yes to a question like that 6 months in advance.

Had a quick look on the forums and some of the speculation is Tohaa Vs Combine, but I don't see two alien factions being released in a single box.

The galaxy is littered with the single-planet graveyards of civilisations which made the economically sensible decision not to explore space.

So Bureau Agis only or called 0-12? I'm thinking the former. Would be interesting to see an 0-12 army as they're supposed to be made up of troops from all factions (except maybe Nomads).

CB seems keen on the former lately. Likely as an NA2 I suppose. Doing the former gives them the option of creating other branches of 0-12 as their own thing, maybe even reorder them under a proper 0-12 banner eventually.

I’m pretty sure they said O-12 would be their own faction, not NA2.

That'd be preferable. The only reason NA2 would make sense was if they didn't want to commit to more than one sectoral.

Hi O-12 is a new faction, not a sectorial

New Shasvastii? here is a proper Shasvastii render from defiance website.

Is it just me or does it look like the new Shas would be unable to walk? Someone should animate that render with the Shas just slapping its legs up and down to go forward.

Sweet. Looks like I'll be starting a new faction. Been wanting O-12 for a while.

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.

Same here - O-12 look to be (maybe) pretty nice looking minis!

Quick question:

Will Namurr Active Response Units and Zhayedan be part of the upcoming (soon?) Ramah Task Force sectorial?

I was going to say the aliens from the old Charlie Sheen movie the Arrival but I googled it and their joints are reverse.


So what faction gets dropped now that there's a new one to help cut down on SKU bloat? [/sarcasm]

Weeeeeeeeeelll...

USARF is no longer going to have their 6 model starter set or the Devil Dogs box. They're also FINALLY retiring the horrible Foxtrot Ranger model, Daktari Catgirl, and Jazzhands Interventor blisters.

I guess CB loved the Covenant so much they decided the Combined Army needed their own Sangheili lol.

Shasvastii always had this general look thought the mouth has changed from suckers to mandibles and the overall head shape has changed to something better in my opinion, overall shape and posture has been maintained.

Don't forget, Gwailos were digitigrade, too. So that's not really a new look for these guys.

And none of that changes that render from looking like CB copied Bungie's homework.

Looking at the Shas there going to move and run like the Paralympic sprinters with blades more or less. The shin armour even looks like the Blade prosthetics.
Saying that they do look like they could be joining Daleks as aliens who’s main enemies are flights of stairs.
So which next whole faction is getting squatted to make way for o12 as a faction?

Your last point is especially laughable and comical, because not only the 7th ed Valkyrie shown dumber things (like being able to throw the troopers without parachutes out of its hatches, no harm done) - Irbis

Blurry is an understatement. The starter boxes and a Wildfire only mini for each faction. S.O.P. No hints about why the higher price for Operation:Wildfire. Price according to GameNerdz. More LE minis? Upgraded terrain?

Which sectorial is on the chopping block? Ariadna, Haqq and Pan-O have already had sectorials go OOP. And the Tohaa faction. Another Pan-O sectorial, or will CB dare to touch the oh so very precious Nomads? I think Yu Jing has immunity for the moment.

I'm guessing Steel Phalanx if anything. That said, it's not like Qapu Khalqi's a big loss with the NA2s.
