Title: Haqqislam losers
Post by: PF on September 28, 2014, 05:18:30 PM

Hello,

Here are my haqqislam minis. Never won with them. I'm glad I have some japanese guys. But I played the "Qapu khalki"/ corsair guys for the first time last friday and tho I lost, it was close so I still have faith. ;)

They look really good, very cohesive and well painted through out. I particularly like the scheme for the Nomad mercs.

You've done a great job on them :)

... and when you finally start winning with them you will be the better general because you have learned to use the army even though it has weaknesses.

I used to lose a lot when playing W40K and win a lot at Blood Bowl. This was crazy. Nowadays, it looks like I lose at Songs of and Infinity and win at Warmachine. Might be some kind of "curse" or fate thing.
Actually using the rules for the sub factions such as fireteams might help. It helped when I played those djanbazans so hopefully my muyibs will be better next time I play them.
Oh and focusing on the game or objectives and stopping making jokes 90% of the time might prove a bit useful from time to time.  o_o

I really like the look of these - although I admit that I find the background makes them hard to see clearly for me (I thought the Muyib with the panzerfaust at the back was a Ragik!).

Link teams are pretty "OMFGWTF" good. Haqq is good at mobility and has very high WIP anyway, and being in a fireteam really enhances this enormously (I mean, it's good for any group of models, but some definitely benefit more than others).

Don't forget that Qapu Khalki can have a second mini fireteam as well, thanks to the Odalisques and Sekban having the "Haris L1" skill.

Also, remember that Hafza can make up the numbers in any link team! ;)

As a Nomad, I am 100% for making jokes for at least 90% of the game!  lol

I had thought about making a list with only odalisques and sekban at 300 pts. Idea was to have 360 vision with everyone. Probably pointless tho I like simple lists. Infinity can be a pain to remind all the abilities unless you play it often.
It will have to wait a bit tho. Need to reduce a bit the lead/plastic pile before.

Love the muted color pallet.
