I reckon wildcard would make more sense on Zhayedan tbh, would be a bit odd sticking superjump troopers all over the place.
we've seen sectorials with more than 1 wildcard. we'll see. i hope khawarijs will get it or will be almost impossible to play a full core.
Oh yeah multiple wildcards are definitely possible, personally I'm not keen on the idea of a Khawarij wildcard as I don't think it makes thematic sense but that's just my feeling. I agree that a full core of Khawarij is going to be very hard to justify especially if you include Tarik given how fragile they are.
Edit: Not blowing me out of the water by any means but definitely interesting profiles. Those point costs though are quite eye-brow raising. Really makes me wonder what the RTF sectorial costs will be like. .

While I like a lot of the new profiles, it amazes me that these guys are as expensive as Hollowmen. That CC, PH, and Poison are worth just a little less than a 2nd wound, better MOV, and unconscious state...
I think you get the cheapest HRL SWC wise in the game. 28pts 1 SWC for a BS13 HRL is some bargain tier shit right there.
So, I'll just paste here some words from different thread: TBH I'm not sold on those profiles... Nothing fancy. I was hoping for something to make them stand out a bit more with that cost. Fatality L1 on everyone, without FAT2 on Spit. And they're really sooo expensive - if someone says that HRL is cheap, than no, it isn't. HRL is cheap on Muyib (also SWC 1, but only 22pts), on Sekban (1,5SWC, 23pts) or on Hafza (1,5SWC 18pts). HRL is cheap as a weapon, but Khawarij with it is still expensive. But it's one of the most interesting profiles. Mk 12 - I worried about it and it's what I thought, he even costs 0,5 SWC. And is even more expensive in points than Djanbazan with HMG, while having ARM 1. Maybe it''s not that bad, but... PozdRawiam / Greetings
Sekban is even cheaper AND comes with a good defensive Haris, but I agree it's a solid profile. I remain convinced that this sectorial will be made or broken by its cheap line infantry. Ghilmen, Naffatun, Leila etc... could pull a lot of weight quite cheaply. If they can do that, we'll have the point flexibility to really let these profiles shine. (As an aside, they could almost be AVA Full for a LI list. That would be super fun, albeit not necessarily good.)
Ok, but that fat1 FO for 29pts has me excited. A cheap specialist profile with a close to mid range weapon set up and with fat1 to give it a little extra oomph behind its assault. Hrl, doc, spit or mk12 haris with a lone FO sneaking through sounds good to me.
Yeah, FO can be nice and definitely will be needed, but how is it cheap?... Another problem with the new profiles - KHAWARIJ (Chain of Command, Fatality L1) Rifle + Light Shotgun, Grenades / Pistol, AP CCW. (0 | 32) The Fatality L1 on this profile makes CoC obvious. Why even giving it to such a unit?... PozdRawiam / Greetings

(0 | 16) 4.5 SWC | 300 Points Open in Infinity Army This was thrown together in two minutes and is hardly perfect. But I think it shows us that the Khawarij expense isn't horrifically expensive. We have multiple attack pieces, a defensive core, and a variety of specialists. RTF is still waiting for those new units, but this isn't a half bad start.
I hope that Naffatun in RTF gets Duo baseline and a Haris option. I think the Khawarij are in a good place. Cost is relative to what you can get out of it. EDIT- I also think Al Fasid should get an FTO option like Yan Huo or Wildcard.
