Spent the past few days stripping priming and identifying some miniatures I received through trades. I was wondering if you guys would be able to help me understand what possible forces I could make from what I have and what I would need to expand into a playable force at various point levels. Haven't played a game of infinity yet and what I do have is a see on what looked cool.

Pretty sure I have plenty to play with haqqislam not so much with pan o though

So for haqqislam I have the following.

1 Hassasin Fiday
2 hassasin Regiks
6 ghulam infantry
1 Murabid turag sniper
1 Ghulam hacker
2 janissare
1 hmg Djanbazan
1 sniper Djanbazan

For pan o
1 Orc troop
1 knight hospitaliser
3 fusiliers

So it seems like I would need to add a few pan o to make a playable force but have plenty to make something playable from haqqislam, what army lists do you think would be good for haqqislam and what should I add to pan o in the future?

Thanks guys.

You have all you need for a balanced Haqq "vanilla" force
lots of base troopers with Ghulams
AD troops with the Ragiks
Infil TO / impersonnator with the Fiday and Tuareg
Heavy hitting with the Janissaries and Djanbazan

Don't forget that any guy/gal (/w regular weapons) could be played as a Doc without any problem

To make it "perfect", you could add Kum bikers and/or Ghazi for cheap, agressive chain rifles, but it's not needed at all with what you already have


For PanO, it's enough for 125 pts games for starting
Then well ... there's simply too many options to choose from !
Pick a group of PanO miniatures you like and go for it ! This is what matters the most
The only unit that really seems lackluster in game terms for PanO (at the moment) are the Bolts, but I nonetheless have 7 of them (8 soon with Tabitha) and field them as stand-in for other kind of units, simply because the sculpts are so good

Thanks for the advice

Yeah the rule of cool is what made me trade for these particular models with no idea what forces they were actually from.

The bikers do look pretty awesome and the Ghazi are not bad either. Got to admit I'm a pretty big fan of all the hassasin models in the sectorial pack so may try to work those in further down the line. Need some cash before that happens though.

Pan oceana are one of the less appealing human factions to me but they still have plenty of nice stuff?

Well, I only played with PanO so far and I went for the Monastic Orders look-wise (Spaces Knights 'n stuff)
I love quite a lot of models from all over the range, mostly recent ones to be honest (except starter and a few odd bits), but I have no qualms about proxying some stuff
For instance, I despise the Crocmen miniatures, so I instead use other guys that look more like what I imagine for them (A guy with TO camo with bare skin, really?)
I use Knights for Aquila or Swiss Guard as well as in the end, they're Heavy Infantry with big guns anyway

Not really. I'll probably retire PanO when N3 hits unless unexpected happens. Auxilia, Kamau hacker, Regulars with mines are my popular picks for a reason. Nisse and Akal or Crusader Brethren following with Crockman. All standard choices across the factions, nothing exciting or out of the ordinary. Kirpal Sing and Konstantinos are really good, but you do pay for what you get.

For Haqq... oh, you're in for a treat with N3. Currently you don't have the models to create just the right synergy and tie up the army but you do have solid core for them to be added to. Djanbazan, Ghulam. I'd use Fiday for Farzan (FO), Ragik, good jazz. I'd think on adding Al'Hawwa and Barid, you're probably going to like Govad once they're released and with MSV 1, they'll be decent substitute for Djanbazan. EVO might also be worth it, but new hacking rules weren't spoiled yet.

Ghazi, Kum or Naffatun would also be interesting to include, but that's really up to you. It's nice to have a warband or something similar to it, but, if you're skilled enough to control the fire lanes they're not that mandatory.

This is just how I act. I really hate the thought or situation of going through the work and then being stuck with builds that don't work. Since we're also investing time into painting and spending money I like to think ahead what options would I like to play with. Take all this as you will.

I like the Kum bikes a lot (the new ones at least.) so I may look into them in the future.

Are huge remotes any good?

The govad concepts look pretty cool.

Let's assume I am not skilled enough to tie up fire lanes.

Board ate my replay.

Kum are interesting, bit order hungry unit. Smoke can also be used with MSV 2 to snipe exposed enemy models. When building a list make sure you're not including too many irregular and order hungry units. I'd go with Naffatun instead of Ghazi, if you plan to include them.

What REM are you looking at?

The Kameel remotes. I like the look of them.
