So who's happy with another Ghulam doc?

    Hello Haqqislam brothers (and sisters?)!

    So it seems we've been a bit unlucky with our "limited" miniature in the Vallejo paint set - the guy definitely looks like he's holding a medikit...

    So - nothing new, since we've had about 3 Ghulam docs earlier and at least one can still be bought.

    Not nice, CB, especially that you don't even name the guy properly on the box. You could've just given us Forward Observer. Or LGL [​IMG]

    Not gonna say that i am in awe, but i like it. I am a suckers for models with the pistol out, mostly because they can prox almost everything.
    *looks over at his shelf full of Ghulam*
    But do i need it?

    I agree, it definitely looks like a medkit/medjector/whatever it's called. And it's certainly a shame, I was looking forward to it but there's nothing limited about a model that's been available in three different forms before now :(

    It's fine, I guess? The target is probably newer players? The model looks good and I understand wanting to put a Doctor Plus as the Haqqislam unit. If I hadn't already bought both generations of support pack, this might appeal to me as a cheaper alternative. I already have the paints too, so it's not really a set for me and...that's not bad. My wallet certainly appreciates the break.

    I had hoped for a LGL, but I suppose I can just stick to the Hunzacutie for that. It's nice to have an essential or popular model tied to a special release like this.

    Yes likely for new players. But they will also need an engineer, so the support pack is also something newer players will want to buy, perhaps? Still then an odd choice, especially when compared to the PanO and Nomad minis.

    I'm not impressed for the same reason you guys have mentioned already.

    On the other hand, I am not affected here: I still use the 1ed. Ghulam Doc model, the 2ed got turned into (then nonexisting) ML Ghulam model.
    I simply do not need yet one more Ghulam Doc model. Nor Najjarun Engineer. Nor, in fact, Ghulam FO model (converted myself one years ago).
    Nor, actually, a set of paints for the studio Haqq scheme.
    These things - all and any of them - are something I might have found interesting at the very beginning of my Infinity involvement. I.e. a couple years ago.

    The same way they might be interesting to a new Haqq player today (not perfect, since the Doc there has no Nasmat nor Najjarun anywhere outside of the Haqq Support box.. alongside with another Ghulam Doc).

    Me, personally... colour me uninterested.

    Something else to consider is if this was a top tier must have model people would probably get grumpy that they "had to buy the paint set" to get it.

    Could it be done better? Probably yes.

    Could it be made in a way that would satisfy everyone? Well, people are going to complain anyway.
    So, no.

    Besides, CB did what they did. Nothing we say here is going to change anything about it.
    Also, from an absolutely separate perspective: I like the model here. It looks really nice. A very fine Ghulam doc.
    I simply have absolutely no need for him, and thus not going to buy the paint set.

    Eh, I am OK with it. And it really makes sense for Haqqislam as a Doctor should be our iconic line trooper. It is also good to get some gender diversity in a ghulam doctors as well.

    I’ll be picking it up, looks much cooler than the support pack doc.
    I’d have preferred him to have had a slung rifle though, and will probably convert him to have one.

    So true, I usually desing as a doctor the female mini out of habit XD

    The set in fact is very good If you are starting the army. If i hadnt 10 ghulams an all those colours, I would probably buy it.
    (I still want my grenade launcher ghulam, tho)

    Would have likely been an auto-buy had it been a FO, Deployable Repeater, or LGL Ghulam. Oh well. Not like I needed the paints anyways.

    Would be great if it were actually a pistol but that's the Doctor's Medikit.

    I mean I was never going to buy it anyway because I don't much care for the paint sets personally (not my scheme, for a start).

    That being said, as others have indicated, I'm actually rather relieved its not an essential model like a NCO LGL which would have me rather torn tbh.

    So in a strange sort of way, I'm very happy with it? :P

    I mean it's a neat doctor sculpt, and if you want a male Doctor ghulam, its a great option. I was just hoping we might get something without a model like the LGL, or a special FO sculpt. I will be picking up the paint set if for nothing else, most of the paints in it for me at this point are really low, so might as well pick em all up at once and get a model out of it.

    Makes sense to me. The Doctor Plus is the iconic loadout for Haqqislam, so it only makes sense to put him into an promo pack like this one. Also, let's not encourage CB to hide otherwise unattainable loadouts behind such paywalls.

    All models are hidden behind pay walls. This time it is paint instead of 3-4 extra profiles you don't want or need.

    Almost any other profile would of made this kit a buy for me. Such an odd choice to go with a doctor.

    True, and I'd love to not get even more of that nonsense, especially with paint. Additional miniatures at least work from a collector's perspective. Paint I am not ever going to use is just dead weight.
