In general I see no need for a generic NA2 HI. I would be glad to get the Al Fasid in Druze. Or Orcs or Krizas...Everything is there, so no need for new inventions. Otherwise a Druze HI would be cool, as it is discussed above and I would really like it.
I want to say just add Janisaries to them but then you might as well be playing QK. But that's not a bad thing!
Beta troopers are piloted by reformed criminals, it would be hilarious if some of them were less reformed than they hoped, absconded with their awesome robot toy and joined the Druze!
Damn, I'd love to see that! I'd love to see some O12 units in the merc context, like being agents in deep cover or something.
Closer would be Dahshat! Something too, I feel that with the proxy rules, it's easy to use the same models for all HI. So can use say Janisaries or Holomen for Wu MIng, Zuyong, Tanko, etc.So, if anything you can make your HI "Look" different or unique even if they are using those rules.
With the Azra'il now released can we just get one of these with Wildcard into Druze? Please...for the love of god please!
It's specifically designed to be a solo / Duo HI. So no. (Yes, I'm aware the same thing applies to Krizas - but I think everyone can agree B6 in a Core is dumb). It IS worth noting that with the way Janissaries and MB have changed there's room for a Shock Immune, NWI HI with the same stats as Wu Ming as a "Generic Merc HI".
*smacks with newspaper* No! Bad! Down! No drooling on the Haqqislam minis! ... on a more serious note, I don't think taking the "Near-Monofilament from range" model and giving it Core Buffs would be a good idea lol
Agreed on great looking! The new rules look great too. Don't think I would want him in a link though. Hey, at least you can do QK with Druze. They are good there too! Just can't make a core cheaper with Brawlers or clipper. Funny you need to take more Druze in QK than in Druze themselves!
Well, a few games in with DBS in N4 and it still feels bad. Guided is the best way to play and that's no fun for your opponent. At this point I'd kill for a good gunfighter other than the Bulleteers. Azra'il Haris with ABH or Al Fasids with Pathfinders would be cool or duo with Anaconda. Fix Arslan (shock immune and X-Visor please), and bring the price of Druze themselves down. I, sorry I'm ranting. Please add HI option.
With the changes to MB, Janissaries, ZY and WM there's room now for a "generic" Merc HI. 4-4 BS13 ARM 3 BTS 3 Courage rather than Kinematiaca. AP Rifle + LSG on the non-SWC items.
A heavy infantry for druze would be Cool. With the same helmets and similar aesthetics just bulkier and heavier armored... I can see it before my inner eye. My idea would be to make them extremely short ranged bruisers. We already have a name, druze bayram bruisers. Move4-4, CC18, bs 13, phys 13, wip 13, arm 4, BTS 5, w 2 s 2, Immunity(crit), dodge(+3), courage, shock immunity, forward deployment 4 inches, fireteam Haris, duo Equipment: 360° visor, chestmines -Loadouts: heavy shotgun +1 burst, viral heavy pistol +1 burst ,panzerfaust, grenades 36 points -Ap rifle+1 dmg, heavy flamethrower, viral heavy pistol +1 burst , grenades 33 points -ap rifle+light shotgun +1 dmg, dropbears/wild parrots, viral heavy pistol +1burst, grenades 35 points 0.5 swc -Doctor, or forward observer with smg, panzerfaust, grenades, viral heavy pistol +1burst , and either flash pulse or medikit 34 points -Pheriperal ap rifle+light shotgun+1dmg, viral heavy pistol +1 burst , panzerfaust, grenades and auxbot with heavy flamethrower. 42 points Maybe another peripheral with the heavy shotgun profile... Kickin in doors, delivering pain with templates. Maybe give one loadout TA since druze are well trained and disciplined. Don't know if pricing isn't a little on the cheapish side but then I am no gamedesigner. Don't know but vet., albeit fitting for druze, might be too much.
Yes, I used to use him as an example when complaining about the Hulang in Vanilla YJ, as he was a better Hulang than the Hulang.
Honestly, this looks pretty good. I'd love to play a unit like this because it seems to be distinct enough from other HIs we currently have in N4.
Just played a little with my basic Paint skills to place a druze helmet on some Haqq HI. And if you ask me ( i know nobody does), it fits. Alle the sourcematerial belongs to Corvus Belli. Both are cool but i like the left one more because of the bulk.
