I'm not feeling too confident that RTS will drop this year. Even if it does, the wait feels long. Anyways, I've been playing around with a ton of hypothetical lists. Here's one that assumes Tarik + Khawarij Haris: Ramah Prep? ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 10 SALADIN Lieutenant Combi Rifle, Nanopulser / Pistol, CCW. (0 | 36) KHAWARIJ Boarding Shotgun, Panzerfaust / Pistol, AP CCW. (0 | 27) KHAWARIJ Doctor Plus (MediKit) Boarding Shotgun, Grenades / Pistol, AP CCW. (0 | 30) TARIK MANSURI Spitfire, Nanopulser, Grenades / Pistol, DA CCW. (1.5 | 55) GHULAM Sniper Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 16) GHULAM Missile Launcher / Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 17) GHULAM (Forward Observer) Rifle + Light Shotgun / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 13) GHULAM Doctor Plus (MediKit) Rifle + Light Shotgun / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 16) FASID HMG + (Smoke and Normal) Light Grenade Launcher, Antipersonnel Mines / Heavy Pistol, Knife. (2 | 53) TUAREG Hacker (Assault Hacking Device) Rifle + Light Shotgun, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 35) 6 SWC | 298 Points Open in Infinity Army What kind of lists have the rest of you been toying with?
Might want to make room for a potential Khawarij Harris option. 0.5 SWC is it? Unless they have a Harris with Tarik built into the base sectorial rules. That would be nice.
Agreed. I feel like there's a lot you can do with just Tarik + Khawarij. Regular rifle = 'nades is great ... maybe throw in a second FAT 2 spitfire ... boarding shotgun and Panzerfaust is something I've never ran, but it seems awesome in a link as a back-up weapon. It really all depends on the hairs/core option. an extra .5 swc is standard, but they already cost so much!
Ramah Task Force ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 10 TARIK MANSURI Spitfire, Nanopulser, Grenades / Pistol, DA CCW.

(0 | 36) KHAWARIJ (Fatality L2) Spitfire / Pistol, AP CCW. (1.5 | 32) KHAWARIJ Doctor Plus (MediKit) Boarding Shotgun, Grenades / Pistol, AP CCW. (0 | 30) KHAWARIJ Rifle + Light Shotgun, Grenades / Pistol, AP CCW. (0 | 27) LEILA SHARIF Hacker (Killer Hacking Device) Shock Marksman Rifle, D-Charges / Breaker Pistol, Knife. (0 | 20) GHULAM Doctor Plus (MediKit) Rifle + Light Shotgun / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 16) NAFFATÛN Rifle + Heavy Flamethrower / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 13) NAFFATÛN Rifle + Heavy Flamethrower / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 13) 5 SWC | 295 Points Open in Infinity Army Here's something I plan to try. I love the idea of a Khawarij Haris on one side with Tarik on the other.
It's a lot of points for two very similar order expenditures...but it also looks really, really fun. I worry that this lost doesn't have enough long range support, but Khawarij and Tarik might be mobile enough to make up for it.
For some reason I can't remember. Do we get Mama Mags? She can be our long range support: Haqqislam ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 10 MAGHARIBA MULTI HMG, Heavy Flamethrower / . (2 | 78) MAGHARIBA PILOT Light Shotgun / Pistol, Knife. () SALADIN Lieutenant Combi Rifle, Nanopulser / Pistol, CCW.

I'm most interested in seeing if and how the Zhayedan might play into the sectorial... Breaker+Shock Rifles seem like oodles of fun, but I would like to see something to make the HMG choice stand out. AutoMedKit isn't enough for me to consider it and I realize Marksmanship L2 on an HMG would be ridiculous but I would like to see... I don't know, something. Maybe even just an interesting fire team would be enough if the points work out.
I agree with you. I want to use my Zhayedan all the time, but I keep putting him down for other choices. If the Zhayedan gets a change that I could use in my lists, I know I would run him alongside Khawarij.
Bostria has said that interesting link teams will be one of the defining features of RTF, so I wouldn't even surprised to see Zhayedan that can be mixed with Ghulam or Naffatun.
Breaker Rifle Zhayedan is going to end up as a vanilla staple for me. The potential of 6 wounds per order while ignoring cover on the BS roll and applying the shock ammo effect is too much to pass up. It's only the HMG profile that I have reservations about.
idk, the zhayedan looks cool, but he is some kind of fragile and expensive, I guess I have to field him some more times to get a final state about him
This fragile pricey-ness is what keeps me from taking him. Increased durability or a visor would go a long ways for me.
or at least a weapon with higher range? I know we shouldn't do it but compared to a Spetznaz... do I need to talk on?
Correct, they only ignore the ARM (in addition to BS) when using the light shotgun. Edited my post above.
