Seems like the Barid does pretty well under N4 rules. Hope we see updated sculpts soon. I like the old one, but he is on the small side scale-wise.
I could sure use a new one, but the old one is one of the best sculpts from old haqq... I would definitely prefer new asawiras... the current one is hideous
I've converted two Barids with the Govad Hacker as a base model. Just take the Rifle+Pitcher from the old Barid – it's an easy fix :)
