Tinkers, Tailors, Soldiers, Spies - Leila Sharif and Yara Haddad in RTF

TINKERS, TAILORS, SOLDIERS, SPIES - Leila Sharif & Yara Haddad in RTF In the Unit Focus series I take a look at the different units that make up the Ramah Taskforce, and try to answer why, not if, you should include them in your lists.  (Disclaimer! As of writing of this article, there is no model released for Yara Haddad. Therefore in the pictures of this article her place is taken by Tuareg Sniper with a modified weapon, as to me she is the closest thing available to the consept art provided by Corvus Belli.) As is the case with most of the sectorials, Ramah Taskforce has access to a rich and varied selection of Fireteam options. While RTF can build very diverse squads of " counts as Ghulams " ( Ghulams , Naffatûns , Zhayedans ), it's other "pure Fireteam" options aren't as strong. You could look at this as a disadvantage, or you could see it as a chance to cast aside the shackles of homogenic Fireteam restrictions and spice things up with some dead

The Sinners Among the Angels - Al Fasids in RTF

THE SINNERS AMONG THE ANGELS - Al Fasids in RTF In the Unit Focus series I take a look at the different units that make up the Ramah Taskforce, and try to answer why, not if, you should include them in your lists.   The Haqqislamite Army (and Ramah Taskforce especially) are very particular about the ethics and morality of their soldiers, and failure to adhere to their nation's humanistic ideals is usually not tolerated. The Al Fasid Regiment (" the Corrupted ") however are a special unit for those tough enough to serve among the elite, but who lack the virtuous service record to make it elsewhere in RTF. These Heavy Infantry operatives are allowed a chance to be forgiven (or to make a good earning) by employing brutal firepower and dirty tricks to protect the citizens of Haqqislam. Big, But Not That Bulky Haqqislam is the leading power in the Human Sphere when it comes to biotechnological enhancement and supersoldier creation, but in the more traditional hardware si

Judge, Jury and Executioner - Hortlak Janissaries in RTF

JUDGE, JURY AND EXECUTIONER - Hortlak Janissaries in RTF In the Unit Focus series I take a look at the different units that make up the Ramah Taskforce, and try to answer why, not if, you should include them in your lists.   Disclaimer! As of writing of this article, there is no Corvus Belli released model for the Sniper armed Hortlak Janissary. I use the venerable Djanbazan Sniper as a stand in, as the two models have several similarities, and the latter can't be part of a RTF strike team. Thus in this article's photos you will see the Djanbazan act as a proxy Hortlak Sniper.   Ramah Taskforce may not be traditionally known for it's Heavy Infantry units, but it is actually home to several. The lightest and most independent of which is the Janissary Corps' Investigations Department - a unit staffed by the Hortlak ( "Ghost" ) Janissaries . This special group of clandestine soldiers investigates, pursues and eradicates slavers from the lawless areas of the H
