I would agree not necessarily suicidal, but definitely not afraid of death, maybe even having a death wish but not to the level of suicidal. Course all this is having me looking at Haqqislam again and I don't need more unpainted minis at the moment.
I can't speak to the point cost of the Invincible army stuff, but HI are a viable choice at 400 point games. A 4 asawira link is a very scary thing. And pricy. But doable
The mutt's concept art has a vaguely hipsterish look to me.
I think it's mostly the girl, who looks more like a college kid than a proper spec-ops combatant. So... yeah. I dunno. I still really like the design though, and the shamough will be fun to paint.
Running 4 Asawira in a link sounds absolutely terrifying. With Regeneration and their WP, keeping them down must be really difficult.

Considering Ghazi's aren't spec ops, I wouldn't expact them to look like spec ops. They're not even necessarily trained combatants, but people who want to be given a cube.
And yeah, the Gazi aren't legit spec ops, which is one of the reason I haven't wanted to really use them before. I always felt that the forces that clash in Infinity are in that 'best of the best' category. So when I see them it's like, "Uhhh... why are you here? Bro, do you even Sptetznaz?"

I'll squeeze em' into my fluff somehow I'm sure.
Yeah, but if that's the case then why use Metros, Alguaciles, Fusiliers, Morat Vanguard, etc.
But also they represent to me the 'Green' spec ops guys. They've been pulled from their normal units because they showed aptitude of some kind, and are getting their first real 'combat run' to see if they'll eventually be more specialized and whatnot.
Kinda like how the Spec Ops troop profiles are based on the Line Troops.
With the Gazi it's more like, "Hey you, you're a little crazy. We're gonna give you this big scary microwave gun thing that is gonna totally erase that bad guy's cell phone contacts or something. Oh and here's a chain rifle. Open end towards enemy. Have fun kids."

Or something.
Actually the reasoning is because Infinity started life as a RPG for the Corvus Belli guys. The idea was to have an "A-Team Special Forces" game, more or less, and to show how awesome you are in a RPG you always need tidal waves of cannon fodder for the heros to mow through.
Kan what on Earth is your Sig referencing?
It's a line from the description of the "Acorn of the Ages" in the new Wood Elf book. Apparently the acorns have to be picked up really quick or there might be rampaging giant squirrels.

That was legitimately my second guess.

Man, I so cannot wait for that model!
What size base is that, most likely? 40mm... or the new 55mm?
40mm.
Sappers are supposed to come with a 40mm and a 25mm base, but I have never gotten a 25mm base with the three Ariadna and 1 Shasvastii Sapper models I've bought.

Cannon fodder. Meh. Already said something on that. But... we know that there have been, erm, 'issues' with impetuous orders, and that CB will probably (I suspect) tidy up the matter with N3. So who knows how these sorts of units will change. The concept art is fantastic, and I would imagine the box is 2 male, 2 female, with 2 chain rifles, 1 boarding shotgun (which is also rumored to change) and one w/out a main weapon shown, since that seems to be the trend. If nothing else, they can be nice proxies. Personally a blister of 2 would have sufficed for me, but they are AVA 4. June will be an interesting month of releases I think.

I can't wait for the Ghazi Mutti'wah box. I keep wanting to try them, but I can't bring myself to buy those ugly old models, and I simply do not proxy outside of maybe a different weapon. As my brother loves his HI links, I really want to use one to drop an E/Marat template on them.
Yeah, two seems fine for me, I don't necessarily need 4 of them. But if there are 4 interesting sculpts I'll end up picking them up anyway. Like Loki, I have some friends who love dat HI, so that'll be useful for sure.

It's a 4 model box and there's no plans for blisters, as far as I know.

Yeah, I'm the same. I'm not certain I'd ever use 4 Ghazis, but with the new models being released as a 4 model box, I'll just buy it and suck it up.
Hopefully it'll be 2 Chain Rifles and 2 Boarding Shotguns. Since I never see myself using more than 2, that would let me go with different combinations of weapons.
I just hope they don't pull a Daturazi on us and not give any a Chain Rifle, because that gun looks badass.
Ghazis have 2 profiles - boarding shotgun and chain rifle, and their sidearm is a plain old pistol. Other main weapon on both is the E/Marat.
I can see maybe 2 with chain rifle or boarding shot gun, 1 with the other, and one using his E/Marat. But a sidearmed model would look kind of odd seeing as it's a standard pistol.
