I'm really not a fan of the Haqq HMG's, so I've been thinking about doing some converting to make a version out of some rifle-wielding models that doesn't suck. At the moment I'm thinking about something like this: Any suggestions? The magazine will be an ammo box, similar to an M249's belt feed, only loading through the same well as a normal box mag. The scope thing that all the Haqq HMGs and Grenade Launchers have is kinda dumb, but I figure painting a HUD on the back side should help it make sense.

gobbledygoat posted:Ah, that's sad. I just want cool robo dudes. A Marut list would be pretty solid. Generic army lists can be awesome, because it gives you a ton more options that the sectorials don't have. In Aleph's case, things like any sort of Camouflage, or fire that doesn't come from a rocket launcher.

Ghulams.  I see the cheap Naffatun being the apology that vanilla Haqq gets for both sectorials being limited by 13 point cheerleaders. :p

MoreLikeTen posted:Picked up Haqqislam and Aleph Steel phalanx sets. I was initially concerned about the playerbase, but the low model count and free ruleset won me over. I got them mostly because the themes appealed to me, is there a horrible disconnect between the faction starter sets? Most definitely, especially between those two. Haqq's box is ~120 points and .5 SWC (special weapons) whereas the Steel Phalanx box is ~170 points, and something like 3.5 SWC. Coupled with the special rules that are on all the Aleph units, whoever is playing Haqq will have a very rough time.

Yeah, that is pretty great of your opponent to own up to that. Infinity seems to have some of the nicest people in that regard. I've got an MO force, but I've been trying pretty hard not to branch out into the rest of PanO. I might need to try proxying them either as undivided or NtCA, 'cause the Swiss does look like a beautiful rear end in a top hat.

Just to make sure: You never have to announce who your new lieutenant is. Additionally, MSV2 does not let you fire at T/O Markers. What it does do, is after the model is revealed, ignore the -6 to BS to hit them. I believe it also negates the -6 penalty on your Discover rolls to turn the token into a model.

You should probably ditch the Securitate, as the Repeater is useless without a hacker, and the Securitate are overpriced anyway. You're also spending 0 SWC, which can be a problem. Ditch the Securitate, upgrade the Intruder to an HMG, and add an Alguacile LT, I'd say.

The JSA Dire Foes model is up on Angel's Facebook page. Does anyone recognize this gun? Is it supposed to be a Combi rifle with a stun pistol fitted underneath or something? Trying to make sense of the Gui Feng options. Edit: Might be a nanopulser, or I guess that "Yuriko" might have a special loadout, but that seems odd.

Pierzak posted:It's a Combi+E/Mitter. Of course, I should have looked at the concept art images.  It seems strange they'd give the Dire Foes equipment that isn't permissible for Spec Ops, although I guess it does allow them to include specific options without having to worry about needing to 'balance' them to work with other upgrade options.

First, the Irrmandinho places a D-Charge and blows a template sized hole in the wall. So, how do you play with the D-Charges blowing up terrain? Do you have removable chunks in all the buildings?

Serotonin posted:OK how does this look for 300 points? Personally, I never run any force that has between 11 and ~14 models. With the sole exception of a combat group including things like Yuan-Yuan, a Kameel with EVO, or similar things that don't necessary need more orders. Perhaps try dropping the Janissary and introducing another Naffatun and some Ghazis?

Mostly I tend to use them to patch up things that are strategically important. Since the change from Annihilation to objectives, it can become a lot more important to bring back up that specialist, or a hacker to disrupt the opponents activities. For many forces it's an opportunity cost, but Haqq can upgrade a stupid number of units to doctors for just a few points.

Depending on who you're facing of course, I think you'll find that Odalisque with Spitfire provides more potency to your force than another rifle. (even if it has MSV2) Especially since you would then need to play cautiously with that LT, whereas the Barid LT can use his order for hacking or speculative shots with the Marker.

We've always assumed that it was a mistranslation, and was supposed so scatter 1" per failure (or 2.5 cm) and that makes it a lot more reasonable.

I am sad that sniper rifles are pretty much always going to be worse than the HMG, but that's alright. Assuming the Boarding shotgun translates to the light and heavy versions, as a Haqq player I might well be ecstatic.

MULTI-Sniper sure, the DA is awesome. For regular sniper rifles they're only advantageous at >32", which happens very infrequently around here. That wouldn't be too bad, but spending a fair number of points and SWC is hard to justify sometimes.
