I am a dreamer, and hope is a beautiful thing.
Anniversary Starter Set units-
The key is not only keeping the number of figures small, but the size of many of them small too. (how about 2 common squads of 3 Marro Spiders for starters) No giant dragons/giant robots/giant Marro/giant dinos. The largest figures would be a couple of Kyrie and a re-sculpted Kee-Mo-Shi that benefits from 'War-Witch Bonding' You want bigger heroes, that's where the expansions come in. Back to the Starter figs. I think that it should keep the number of figs. down, yet still have variety as far as common squad/unique squad/unique hero play. The 6 Marro Spiders takes care of common squad, Kee-Mo-Shi v2, Agent Carr v2, an Elf Wizard, and a Soulborg Hawk takes care of the unique hero category, and (why not) a 2-man unique squad of Kyrie. 12 units in all.
Anniversary Starter Terrain-
Just like the figures, keep the terrain at a minimum. The terrain should just be the standard mountain/sand/grass/water variety, and no los blockers. You want other terrain/los blockers, again, expansions. This is just the Starter set.
Dice/OM/ect-
The Starter Set would just have enough dice, order markers, ect for a 2-player game.
