I expect those to be Nameless.

Rebs might possibly be easier, they could use all the GCPS vehicles and have a few units in resin to bulk out the existing deadzone/star saga range which in itself has such a huge amount of unit variety, easily enough for a whole army of diverse units with a little extra work

This could be true. Nameless do have some great resins and goliath models too. Nameless infantry is easier to do. One infantry type with weapon options + inkers (they should fit a sprue no problem).

The game isn’t even out yet and we speculate over new army releases😂
My bet is on Nameless. They are unique enough, Goliath is their ‘vehicle’ and troops in hard plastic plus existing resins make an army.

on Deadzone the Podcast, Rob said the faction playtested is neither the one you cannot say the name (as Nameless are called that way because no one can pronounce their real name) nor the one the council does not allow to say their name (Rebs)
so more speculation coming in

The bugs from Dreadball would be cool, I forgot the name. Or Mazon Labs as a sub faction to GCPS or Plague.

Well, that makes things interesting.
We might get something completely unexpected like rift-forged was for KoW.
Crystallans in clear plastic & resin?
Koris + KoW nightstalker units?
Space Ogres?
Taking all bets!

Or maybe something new, outside the classic fantasy/SciFi range?
Although Koris would be cool
I already ordered some conversion bits for the plastic Marauders to make more options
Also looking into getting the KoW plastic Goblins to make me some snipers

Just recently got my 2 player box set and have been assembling the armies. Completed Enforcers now in the middle of assembling Marauders. I’m really excited to get into FireFight!

Lucky you! My rulebooks will arrive anytime now. I got enough Deadzone models to build a roughly 900pt Enforcer and Plague list. So no new toys for me.
I hope you let us take part on your journey into Firefight!

Got mine yesterday too! Exciting times. Got to figure out some color schemes now, that’s the really hard part.

I just received my 2 boxes of the plague strike force boxes and in both cases there was only 1 PVC Aberrations when it is supposed to include 2.
Has anyone else had this issue?
I reach out to Mantic and am waiting for a reply. Hoping Mantic has good customer service and stands by their product.
I will update when i hear a response.

Not from this box, but I had an older plague box that came with two Teratons rather than a Teraton and Plague leader. Gerrcinn is right, they’re good at fixing issues like that. Hope they get back to you soon.

I received my books and dice today. After a first glance, I got to say those are some seriously nice books! Have you seen the ‘Rebs - artwork’? Fantastic!

Picked up the books and some plague models at an event about 2 weeks ago. Started painting my force for a small event at the end of the month.

Looking awesome, but what’s going on in the first pic? The standard looks like he’s grinding on the boss guy, they seem to be caught in a bit of a “romantic” position.

Thanks, I wanted something to distinguish my 3a general from the 3a who’s just the ghoul leader in case they ended up together during a game, so gave him a standard bearer.
Unfortunately the 3a leader figure only comes in a ‘twerking’ pose, so from certain angles it looks a little odd, especially with his flared coat
