Sentinel Tactics Add-on and future Painted minis questions

I have a few questions regarding these topics and was hoping to get some sort of officialish answers.

Will the Add-On pack be sold as one item, or (assuming more is unlocked)as mini expansions (ala Unity, Ambuscade, etc in SotM) in retail?

Will painted minis be available via retail? Will all future sets sold at retail also have painted miniatures? I'm very tempted to up my pledge for the painted minis, but if Core Set 2+ did not have the option of painted minis I'd rather have all my minis be unpainted, as I'd want them to match.

About the add on pack I have no idea, but I would assume that it would eventually be a second expansion, since the 215,000 stretch looks to be a mobile defense platform. The blade battalion minis would pair nicely with that. I think this all depends on how much is unlocked through the kickstarter though.

Some where in the kickstarter answers they mentioned that they would continue to sell painted minis. I don’t know how long that will go on, I also don’t know if they would continue to paint future minis, but I assume they might.

You’ll probably have to wait for an official answer after PAX East. Hope I helped.

From GtG in the main comments (in response to a commenter not wanting the minis included in the bundle):

My assumption is the things in the add-on will be sold individually, similar to how Unity, Ambuscade, etc are sold now. But that's just my current assumption.
