Starting with Hassassin Bahram

List #3: Muyib Hardcore

What would you need for this list:
Hassassin Bahram Starter Box (use the Daylami to proxy as Ghulams).
Hassassin Muyib Box (use the Spitfire muyib to proxy as one of the Minelayers)
Warcor blister (or any proxy)

The list:
Lasiq (Viral Sniper)
Fiday (Boarding Shotgun)
Muyib (Heavy Rocket Launcher)
Muyib (Lieutenant Rifle)
Muyib (Doctor)
Muyib (Viral Mines)
Muyib (E/Mauler)
Ghulam (Rifle)
Ghulam (Rifle)
Warcor (Flash Pulse)
200pts, 4 SWC

Lasiq’s job is the same as usual: hang in the back and kill folks in ARO (or in Active turn, should an opportunity present itself).
Fiday still does the same job: Impersonate, infiltrate, kill the Order Pool or other valuable soft targets. I used the Boarding Shotgun profile here for some variety (it is a good profile if you intend to blast things from close range), but if you drop the Warcor, you could use any other Fiday profile.
The Muyibs are your main strike force. Use HRL to blast targets from far away (bonus points if your opponent was careless enough to place them together so you can get several of them covered with a single template), Smoke Grenade Launcher to obtain cover, then get close and personal with Rifles, Light Shotguns and Viral Mines or E/Maulers (depending on target selection) – with DEPs being held just in case. There’s also a Doctor to patch up any unlucky Muyib who gets shot.
The Ghulam are there mainly to generate Orders (and provide rear area security). They also provide alternate Lt options if yu don’t want the Muyib to play that role.
Warcor is there primarily for fluff reasons, though his Flash Pulse ARO can be pretty irritating for your opponent, and in some types of games (especially in YAMS) he may become the unexpected hero saving the day by scoring an objective that doesn’t call for a specialist. If you don’t like him, though, he can be swapped for a Nasmat REM for your Doc, or a profile upgrade for the Fiday.

    A ncie article, however I have to disagree on certain points:

    – Ghulam link wihout a Spec Ops is pretty mediocre, having only 4 members.
    – Barid should be the first purchase for any Bahram player, he will be used in every list.
    – 11 Orders, even with 6 specialists, will not go far due to order starvation. I would’t use the Asawira in ITS scenarios.
