Well you can think that way, and basically you are right. But even with Govads there are circumstances where the additional cost pays off quite well. Against troops with visual mods, Govads have 4 points better BS than Ghulams and thats a lot. Now we have Zhayedans who benefit almost always from their special Rule (MMSLV2) which makes them even better. I have to admit, that I am quite unhappy that only two profiles have it and that the others are a bit overcosted due to the AMK, but this is a link, that you can brutally shove up your enemys back, because of those two profiles. The Sniper hitting on 18s letting you dispose easily of most things that wants to stop your advance. And when in Range, the Rifle guy can obliterate almost anything. With that in mind and your point of their missing staying power, I would use them, as my first turn enemy crippling force, that goes in hard prepares themselves to die after they cleared the field for the specialists. So runthem up into the enemy deployment zone, kill everything you get to shoot at, then barricade in a good position if possible, with ARO coverage, to sell their lives as expensive as possible. I am not saying, this is the definitve way to make them worthwhile, but I can see it work and beeing fun, dramatic and all that. ISS also doesnt have an AD troop. But ohh yes, Doc+ AD troop would be so nice. More Docs to the Haqqs:-D
We have learned here that I know nothing about Yu Jing and not enough about other sectorials in general. So my reasoning is flawed. But I still want a cool new AD troop!
Another worthy question for RTF, will we see another Akbar Doctor profile? It almost seems strange to be on janissaries now with the actual bio-medical specialists sectoral coming.
Ohhhh the shame....why the hell did never ever anybody use that thing here? You are right, there should definitely be another Akbar in the list. Maybe on a cheaper profile than the Janissary. How else could we fit everthing in a 300 points list
OOOH, Haqq discovers how to reverse sepsitorization, takes Ko Dali, and demands more power in O-12 in exchange for reversing sep on troopers re captured from the combined. Could be a cool story progression.
Very interesting suggestions in this tread! i realy hope we all can get that we expect from this new Forces! About Fidays - not you think they can do it without troubles, saving the Fluff & exceptions of a gameplay, if they give just one "watching" Fiday to Ramah? like lonely ninja in ISS?
I mean, they could. But that would the first shared unit between Haq sectorials ever (besides ghulam and remotes) and the reasoning as to why they don't share units is explained in the fluff. So I wouldn't put any money on it happening.
@mittenninja - but Assassins society always was above this inner politics between haqqislamite countries. I realy not think they give Djan to rama cause of this. But assassins are infiltrate every nation, & their own are not exception. PS your "Cobra-commander" Saladin are awesome!
are there probably a fiday or two hanging out somewhere within the structure of Ramah? Most likely. Are there any Fidays under the command of members of Ramah? Absolutely not. And thanks man!
All Haqq forces with Saladin should get a free "bodyguard" Fiday. It generates no orders and only acts to kill Saladin if he is Sepsitorised. It cannot be used to affect the game in any other way.
Will we have a chance to see any ALEPH or mercenary units in Ramah? Sadly, the fluff doesn't tell us how ALEPH operates within Haqqislamite society (Checked on N3 rulebook and HSN3, I don't own any RPG books yet). My bet on the new warband will be some sort of metachemistry enhanced troop but on the expensive side of the espectrum (a-la Daturazi). Not sure if we would have access to smoke ammo on other profiles too.
