So I got the Hassassin starter because I thought being able to play hashashin in space would be awesome. And although I'm sure it will be, I've since figured out that the starter pack is not really ideal for new players...I'm thinking of what I should pick up next to make a more balanced force (of like 150 points for starters).

I'm completely fine going vanilla Haqq and don't need to stay in sectoral.

-I don't know if I need to pick up Ghulams, I can run my two Dalami as Ghulams (with probably one of them as my LT). I only have two, though, I'm wondering if I'll need more to get my order count up with all my elite hassassin.
-The Fiday seems awesome, but also kind of a jerk thing to run in my first games
-That said, it'd be nice to keep the Lasiq with Viral Sniper Rifle. I'm a firm believer that even when you're starting a game, you should have at least one thing on the table that's FREAKING AWESOME.
-Leaning towards picking up the Support Pack, because doctor + remotes seem pretty good.

Thanks!

Doctor's in Haqq are always nice. That said, picking up more Ghilim is also a good idea, as what you are lacking are order monkeys.

The Fiday is your mark of recognition, you'll bring him to most games when you learn how good he is.

Apart from that Muyyibs are very good, but tricky for newer players. You might also consider our single Heavy, the Asawira, which is the only Heavy I can think of in the whole game to have 2 wounds and regeneration.

Bahram are nice but you might have trouble versus Smoke-users and camo markers, since we have no MSV.

Oh, and definitely get the Barid - a LT profile with decent loadout and killer stats, you'll want him for missions.

Good luck.

The Muyibs box is the best expansion for the Bahram


Will give you all the options for the most versatile unit bahram has.

Muyibs are pretty much going to be your Link team in most, if not all, games. While some like Lasiq teams, and they're dead killy, Muyibs are a swiss army knife, and will be your armies core. They're called 'Those That Respond' for good reason.

So yeah, grab the Muyib box.

Thanks! The Muyibs seem like that'd be a good core, and the other stuff will give me plenty of options to mess around with at 200 points or so.

As mentioned: Muyib box and Barid are pretty solid choices.
