Hey everyone! I recently picked up the Recon Edition on clearance at my FLGS for $25 and I’m interested in expanding beyond it. What would be your recommended next purchase(s) with the 1.5 update about to come out?

1. Spartan Edition 1.5 preorder ($119) - redundant in a lot of ways to my Recon but includes the updated rules, 2x Fireteam Hydra ($45 each), Elite mercs ($45), extra terrain, hard play board, and the premium tokens.
2. ODST/Banished new player bundles ($152 each) - contains updated rules, different terrain, different hard play board, and new minis.
3. Something else?

Right now I’m leaning towards the Spartan Edition due to the cost savings on the extra spartan teams, elites, and hard play board. What are your thoughts? Thanks!

Is there a list of every mini released so far and where it can be obtained (ie. which boxset)? Thanks!
