So with Tarik back I thought I'd try the following list, and combine it with my mortar squad idea. It's a little light on specialist, but want to try getting my coordinator LGL group working. I don't usually run irregulars especially 4 in the main battle group, but with Tarik generating 3 order (reg, LT, TD) I figure it could work. There is still enough punch left in the list if Tarik & the LGLs die that it could still hold together. Basically this it Coordinator order friendly. 4 LGL for Speculative fire, and 3 Regens. Lots of smoke with MSV2. Haqqislam ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 6 4 HUNZAKUT (Deployable Repeater) Rifle + Light Grenade Launcher, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife.

Seems like a fun list. The only changes I'd make would be downgrading both naffatuns, make one of them the LT and give the scoop to a warcor
I just got a chance to try this list, and I think its safe to say the mortar squad Idea should be put to rest. While it has potential, the number of time it will be practice is is not worth it. In the irregular version I found I was ordere starved for my regular models. Tarik today had fun. Being order starved I played tarik as open LT. Every time I used his LT order I got at least 1 fatality crit. Usually 2 in the same roll (5 total in 3 LT orders). My favorite was a jump to get LOS on an unconscious rooftop remote. Unfortunatly a hidden TO sniper was 33 inches away. Guess who got 2 Crits while mid-air jumping with a -12 BS.
I was recently entertaining a much more conservative list with LGL hoping that some of our tables will provoke at least some model clumping. Problem being, in HB that generally means taking Muybs and trying to get some FO support from Farzans, which generally means a lot of points spent on all that and having little in terms of backup plan.
An idea would be running the Kameel for the EVO and a Rafiq for the SatLock to help with the Targeting - then your low BS grunts actually have a chance at hitting things.
By then you have nothing else left in your list. In order make this concept feasible you would need infiltrating LGL regular troop that are .5 SWC & 20 points. Basically you over pay on cheerleaders to get the mortar squad that grabs control zones. It may be attempt-able with the Halqas, but you really need to VERY careful what you put in around it. the last 2 SWC needs to be optimized to perfection.
