Hey everyone, this is my allrounder Haqq list for one of our beer and pretzels Infinity days next weekend. There will be a few (potential) newcomers attending, so we try and bring lists with a few particular checkmarks. Similar to what I did with my Yu Jing and VIRD lists (thanks again for everyone who chimed in), this is supposed to be a list that is fairly capable on its own while showing off what Vanilla Haqq does well and distinguishes them from other factions. So the idea was to leverage cheap and capable specialists with Haqq's premium WIP, led by a few standout profiles to bring the pain. Of course, Mutts have to be in here as well, but I opted to bring only two to keep the cheese down a bit. Let me know what you think!

(0 | 5) 4.5 SWC | 299 Points Open in Infinity Army Explanations for my unit choices: Spoiler Khawarij LT with FAT2 is fairly unique and will pose as the main rambo piece, finding unusual approaches with super jump. When he dies, the Farzan will take over and sit comfortably in camo state to avoid LoL. Late game the Farzan can become active and push buttons, if needed. New players tend to like Tarik a lot, so this guy works as a sort of "Tarik light" to showcase what he can do (even better). The Fiday roots out nasty AROs and cuts down Fireteam members to clear the way for the rest of the team. The Lasiq picks a nice spot to sit as an ARO or climb around to get favourable angles. I feel this is an iconic Haqq unit, so I really wanted to bring her (Major Lunah will do nicely as a proxy). The Ayyar walks up the board to threaten the midfield and push buttons if necessary. Surprise Shot Lvl 2 is fairly unique and Holoecho Lvl 2 gives me the opportunity to show off his awesome sculpts (1 SMR and 2 Pistol dudes). The Barid is a standout hacker with Lightning, Pitcher and WIP 14 at 18 points, so I had to bring him. He also unlocks the remotes. Shihab TR HMG is very solid as an ARO piece and can double as a secondary rambo with Assisted Fire. Fanous provides an order and is a decent defensive flash pulse. Doctor gets the Nasmat and tries to keep the Khawarij and the Ayyar alive. Najjarun is prone next to the Shihab to repair if it does not get shot to death. The single Naffatun provides a bit of additional deployment zone defense. These guys are pretty cool, so I wanted to bring one. The Hunzakut extends the repeater range of our Barid and rains spec fire LGL shots on whatever I can't get to otherwise. Al Hawwa for cheap button pushing and the occasional FO (on 17s due to Surprise Shot) to target crucial enemy pieces. Combos nicely with the Hunzakut spec fire which goes from BS 8 to BS 14 on a targeted model. The Mutts do what they do best: WIP 15 Jammers and free smoke to cover the approach for the Khawarij and Ayyar. The fact that they bring Chain Rifles/EMarats is just the cherry on top.
TBH bringing Fiday, especially with mines, against newcomers is a bit sadistic ;) I know it's something unique in Infinity and shows Haqq's way of fighting, but I'm trying to give new players a bit more time before showing them, how mean the smiling face of impersonation trully is ;) About the rest, it looks quite okay. Still I'd take more ARO options, and more SWC. Like few Daylamis with Panzerfausts to show the assymetrical trading game of Haqq ;) And I'm also a big fan of Kasym or Zuleyka, also units that are the symbol of vanilla Haqq for me.

Because there might come a point where the Shihab has to become an active piece with assisted fire. Never mind, I just realized I don't have a normal hacker. Good call, the Shihab is going to CG 2. I'd rather have a few additional orders on the Lasiq however, just in case she has a tower to climb in order to gain a better vantage. Yeah, the Fiday is brutal, but at least I didn't bring Saladin with him :P I just feel he is one of those iconic Haqq units and also very helpful against the stronger fire teams my opponents tend to bring. I also considered upgrading to Al Djabel, but the mines are so good ... Daylamis are a nice thought indeed and I have the SCW to spare, so I'll see where I can fit a couple in. I also really like the bikers, but I don't own the models (yet), so they will have to wait for the next opportunity. How about this: Haqqislam ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 9 1 KHAWARIJ Lieutenant (Fatality L2) Spitfire / Pistol, AP CCW.
