Haqqislam's Finest: Ramah Taskforce Tactica and Hub

Far right is super cool. Easily my favourite. Hoping they get a bit of a rules dust up. Maybe more Marksmanship lv2 on stuff? Maybe just lvl1?

 

Well, far right is, as far as I can see it, the BSG / Doc...

 

Isn't this kind of the Hekim? A new midfield skirmisher with unique rules and capabilities?

I expect Wildcard, except for Bostria's enigmatic statements about this being the sectorial where Tarik can do "anything." MM2 would be incredible on a SWC weapon linked with Ghulam, but I kind of don't expect it for that reason.

 

Yet another overpriced glass cannon unit with a ton of useless skills on it you mean?

Is that a new sniper model? The "vents" look new at least, right?

And is it just me or does the HMG look like a mirrored Djanbazan?

 

Yeah, that HMG is spot on. Sniper looks new for haqq at least.

 

Sniper rifle looks the same as the Tuareg/Ghulam to me.

Edit: Actually, it seems to have gained a gas block/foresight, pretty similar though

 

Heathen! Back to the salt mine with ye!

But seriously i dont mind, to me there are very few units in game i would actually not give a chance and run. Its like a bit of a challenge, but as long as the unit is cool looking and/or has good fluff, id still be down. I placed fairly decent at LVO with a kaplan list, despite them being unpopular, and me not playing for a year before the tourney. Every unit can have its time to shine.

 

Kaplan link is lit fam.

 

They look terrific! The HMG looks a bit dull to me, but the rest really hit the spot. They're gonna look awesome with the Haqq Starter one (unlike new Khawarijs).
So, except Ghulams, everyone in the sectorial has something to cover their face? Zhayedans and Naffatun masks, Tuareg turbans, Khawarijs helmets, Tarik's gas mask...
I see what CB is doing: We are Haqqonymous, we are legion

 

Yeah, Zhayedan means Immortal, so they wear masks to pretend to be undestroyable - when one falls, another stands ;)
About the sniper gun, it's a bit different than earlier sniper gun. Maaaybe CB listened to me and they'll get AP Sniper (with shock thanks to MM2)? ;)

Still the gun could be cooler :P

I compared it with the n3 sniper rifles we have so far and looks the same to me albeit a minor upsize to fit to a male model because so far every n3 SR wielding model was a female one (we know CB does this very often)

AP SR would be a good improvement but I think other profiles need more love.

Your artwork is awesome. Even more awesome when you make it happen with conversions. I love the pose. Are you planning on converting the Zhayedans before even having the box?

 

I could see Zhayedans getting a points overhaul a la the Securitate when Tunguska dropped. In fact I believe if they were costed in line with what the Securitate were they'd be a good core with the MML2 profiles costing an extra premium. For reference when Tunguska came out Securitate dropped about 10 points and gained Veteran L1.

 

They also stopped being universally repeaters and had a reduction in stats. ;)

 

I wouldn't be upset as long as update is good. QK has some (not much, but...) dirt going for it already, some of their heavy investment troops and maybe some linking being modernized will leave them in a good place. I do hope nothing important will be taken from them in the process.

I actually think Zhayedan's no-nonsense overall design sits well with poses that aren't too picturesque.
Details are great, with a lot of frills going into loadouts, much on the Hakim level. Personally, I feel I'm going to like those minis.

And not every theater of operations is on Bourak either...

Meh.

I've probably mentioned that already, but they are basically very similar to hyped up Frontoviks, although trade-offs that come up when we compare them are probably in the latter's favour a bit.

CBA to paint faces: the Sectorial.

I mean, some people were expecting Khwarijis to get a reasonable price tag, but alas. Then again, I think most of their profiles could drop an Automedikit for some optimization IMO.

...or, alternatively, upgrade them to automedjectors for extra hilarity.

Ugh. Apparently I completely forgot how expensive those were.

I remember them having SSL1 universally, not sure about repeaters. As for stats, they still have their relevant ones pretty high.

 

Well, that's how they were. :)

 

Or they could swap the automed for regen. The shock immunity would be quite useful. Or just make an automedkit+ so they can come back on a 14. Otherwise its almost always better to spend orders getting a doc or bot there to doctor on 17s.

 

Hey, thanks very much :)
About converting the Zhayedan - I didn't think about it, played sniper only few times, and I have different projects in progress ;)

The new (or old) knauf with a head swap might make a pretty cool Zhayedan Sniper.
