Very cool looking. With the design in all likelihood being 3d modelled, there is always a chance that they'll come out with a 30-35mm version (what is the actual scale of human infinity models?).

No thirst-posting. No one wants to hear about y'alls werewolf-kink.
A nice sculpt. Mirage-5 could use a resculpt when MRRF is re-released. Is this a harbinger that the MRRF will be back in production soon? or just CB jerking our leash?
The book may be nice, if it includes all new updated background and not just reprints of the material in N1/N2/N3. I'd like to see the LE mini that comes with. Apparently it is called Oktavia Grimsdottir, Icebreaker's Harpooner. Sounds like an Aristeia! N4 cross-over. We certainly need more of those.
Pre-order begins 10 August IIRC, and there is a video released on 14 August. A friendly reminder.
Yeah, I made no mention of 0-12 and Starmada space cops in spaaaace.

MRRF will likely stay dead, but you can bet they'll fold the better selling MRRF armies into another sectorial. This is assuming sectorials are as big as deal as they were before, because I suspect that having more divisions within a game with a lot of army divisions might be less beneficial for sales.

That'd be like expecting GW to release a codex for a new edition that had entirely new background material.
Because you can't tell a new player "You need to buy the previous edition of the rulebook to find out what happened before now" there's a lot of background material that's going to need to be repeated, and there's probably going to be a few pages summarizing what's happened since N3.

Makes sense. I've had sooooo much more luck getting people started with the game since those came out. The game just seems to click for people when they sit down with a full size list over the 6 man starters. There's enough orders to generate a meaningful turn and enough pieces to create useful ARO considerations. It's also easier to buy stuff to swap into an existing army than it is to figure out what you should buy to fill out a partial list.

That is what I keep saying!
I would love Grimsdottir to be a widely available merc but I fear that with her name she is going to be mainly for Pan-O.
She's an 0-12 mini, according to her packaging. So a Space Cop. Who uses an icebreaker harpoon, w/e that is. Sounds like a weapon that ought to violate the Concilium Convention for sure.
I suspect that she will also be available in the new White Company sectorial.
Depending upon the background content to the N4 books, I may get them, and Oktavia. I have no interested in Fraulein Zweihander -- It's a painter's mini, not a gamer's mini -- or Starmada, Cops in Spaaaace. Seriously, I hope the biker looks like Eric Estrada. One of the others ought to be a shout out to T.J. Hooker. Heck, the entire box ought to be references to bad 70's American Cop Shows.
ETA: paragraphs are hard.

CB's pre-order is live. Warsanel said they're would be up today. but I don't see any of the other stores with theirs up. Wonder if CB is only allowing select partners in at the start of the PO timeframe?
Starmada is a spaceship miniatures game that's been on the go for donkeys years, so unless the publisher never trademarked the word I'm surprised Corvus Belli called the O-12 space fleet that.
