I'd really only want the PanO part of the set - not interested in Yu Jing at all, and I already have the Red Veil stuff (for the Haqqislam parts!) and that ninja...

Those PanO minis are going to have to really knock it out of the park, or all be for Svalarheima!

They are all for Svalarheima.

Yeah, I know - I was only jokingly trying to talk myself out of buying a box in which I only want half the contents!

Worth mentioning that they might not actually all be Svalarheima, given that Code One isn't going to have Sectorials.

I don't expect it to have that effect. Initially, some people might have fancied a simpler version of Infinity, but stripping the game down to it's basics outright ignoring certains skills and abilities for some profiles will not establish itself as a valid second way to play the game. With the info we have now, I expect it to be nothing more than an introductory ruleset intended as a stepping stone to the real thing.

The models are for Infinity too, though, and I’m pretty sure it was mentioned to be Svalarheima vs White Banner somewhere. Just because Code One doesn’t have sectorials, they can still double them as the Svalarheima and White Banner starters.

I seriously doubt this set will include models that are not in the Svalarheima Sectorial. But just because they are in the Sectorial does not mean you cannot use them in Vanilla PanO.

Which is why I said that they might not all be Svalarheim units, since Code One(which this box is branded as) doesn't feature Sectorials.

It might be that outside of vanilla, the Kunai Solutions isn't able to be taken by PanO.
It might be that the new Knights are for MO, not WinterFor. It's also incredibly likely that the Orc will have nothing unique beyond a paintjob, since they're fairly uncreative when it comes to PanO's heavy infantry.

Well, hopefully we'll know all before the pre-order cut off date!

Looking at the minis in the box and the lists given for Svalarheim already in some of the scenario packs, I'd say with certainty that this is the Svalarheim starter.

Fusiliers are a given, but will these look like Varuna Fusiliers -- the current look -- or Acontecimento Fusiliers-- the now OOP regulars-- or get their own look?

WinterFor ORC trooper. I think the name explains all.

Nøkken. Looks suitably North Germanic/Scandinavian to me.

Infirmarers of Saint Lazarus. Possibly a sort of Order Sergeant, or lower level knight Hospitaller. We know from the scenario lists that the Hospitallers are in Svalarheim.

Knight of Justice. Okay, so it'll look like Batman It's a Hospitaller

Then there is Uma Sorensøn (from Defiance), Nisse? Nøkken? It's a really good bet that the Valkyrie from Aristeia! shows up too.

Sorensen is a Fusilier.

Not at 37 points she isn't. According to her fluff Uma's a former Nisse whose sister went MIA in a CA boarding action against a PanO naval friagate over Paradiso, so Uma transferred to work alongside the Hexas as an Indigo Spec-ops to find her sister or at least get revenge.

She's "a Fusilier" in the same sense that drill instructor Sgt Zim is "just a private" at the end of Starship Troopers

This is my surprised face...

According to Bostria on the official forum, the Kaldstrom themed videos will begin March 16th, with the teaser video for the box coming the Friday before (so a week today).

That's later than usual. Pre-orders the week before Adepticon then, instead of 2 weeks before?

Of course It's Bostria, so, have a metric ton of NaCl with the news, eh?

Hopefully they'll start revealing more overall changes for Code One and N4. I'm literally waiting to see what lessons they've learned before completing my old Haqq army.

Yeah, it’s a week later than the Spiral Corps stuff last year. That said if it was the same time, we’d have had the trailer today, so he’s probably actually right this time

Are they going to have no lead mins?

corvus Belli does not use lead. Their metal miniatures are a tin-based pewter.

First Kaldstrom tease

I wonder if YuJing will utilise lessons learnt from Red Veil, and infiltrate via porta-potty.

They. Still haven't actually shown the figures, have they?

Nope. We're not even supposed to get the first "teaser video" until this Friday.

 Barzam wrote:

Not yet. As Kan said, trailer Friday which will show the miniatures, and then a week of videos next week.

We are not supposed to know which models are in the box yet, that was an accidental leak from a retailer.

Rumor floating around facebook from an account called Chain of Command is that all currently discontinued forces (Tohaa, QK, MRRF, Shock Army, NCA) will not be in N4.

Unconfirmed second hand rumour, so I'll be waiting before I gather the pitchforks.

There are these blurry photo taken from a seminar Gutier Lusquinos gave at a Russian Con, of all places.
Big Photo shows that Code one going to have releases for each faction, including: "Action packs"(for CA and o12) Support pack, Remote pack, repack box (iconic units from the faction previously released in blisters), TAG and a hero blister I think the little boxes in the below photo show these:



More interesting is this photo


Code One games to be played in 15, 25, or 30 point sizes on 24"x 32", 48"x32", or 48"x48" tables. I'm guessing the number are 32" and 48".

Also reported that factions will be released in waves, so not all available at N4's release. Now is this entire factions or just sectorials of a faction, ah and is the person who posted this confusing Code One release plans with N4 release plans. Meh.

I'm still a bit grumpy, that neither aleph, nor nomads are part of the first wave of code one... It seems a bit silly to invest in a third faction

Why would you invest in a new faction? Code one doesn't replace N3 right? I expect N3 will still be considered the "full" way to play until N4, so if you're happy with N3 just keep playing it. I don't think Nomads or Aleph are being dropped from N4?

I know, I know... it's more like a first world problem, no serious grumpyness...

Fair enough then.
