THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND - Tarik Mansuri 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.   If there is a military unit positioned in the front and centre of a Ramah Taskforce recruitment poster, it's the legendary Khawarijs . If there's a Khawarij positioned in the front and centre of the unit, it's Tarik Mansuri . This near mythical Red Turban is the runihura supersoldier program's most lauded success, but also the pinnacle that could never be reproduced - if it could have been, I'm pretty sure the map of the Human Sphere would look a tad different! So let's delve into the Khawarij Amir! Super Supersoldier And you thought non-character supersoldiers had busy statlines? Oh boy, how wrong you were... Tarik Mansuri is the fastest bioenhanced warrior in RTF, with his 6-4 MOV and the Super-Jump ability. Where it's sometimes dif...

 To All Future Ramah Taskforce Commanders Congratulations on your promotion Commander! The Haqqislam High Command must see great promise in You, for You have been bestowed the honour of leading our People's finest to battle. The Military Force You are about to command is the finest in all of the Human Sphere. It's a Force made up in it's entirety of volunteers, be they humble Line Troops, Veteran Operatives or Biogenetically Enhanced Supersoldiers. As their Commander, you can entrust these men and women to accomplish any task you set before them, and to defeat any foe that may stand in their way, if such a feat is humanly - or indeed superhumanly - possible. Ramah Taskforce is the very Tip of the Spear when it comes to our Nation's military capabilites, and not just because of the fact that Your Forces have the best equipment and the most tactically capable soldiers at it's disposal, but also because almost without exeption, the men and women serving under you are b...

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY - Wild Bill and Carmen Johns & Bâtard 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! I've made the decision to use a Dynamo Biker and a spare Antipode model to reprisent Carmen & Bâtard - I've made this decision purely on stylistic grounds, and I still find the actual models amazing, if less professional looking, than the ones I've chosen to use!)   While most of Ramah Taskforce is made up of dedicated Haqqislamite career soldiers, there are also more eccentric characters mixed into the force. In this article, I'm going to take a look at the Faction's only Warband option in the mercenary biker Carmen Johns and her companion Antipode Bâtard , as well as the legendary Aristeia! gunslinger (and a Janissary wannabe), Wild Bill In This World, There Are Two Kinds of People... Wild Bill...

THE COURT OF THE SCORPION QUEEN - Maghariba Guards & Shakushs 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 Shakush Light Armored Unit, and thus I've painted a Gecko Squadron model to serve as a replacement, as I feel it incampsulates the essence of this Light TAG quite well.) While it is highly unorthodox to field a TAG - especially the largest TAG in the game - in a rapid reaction force that's mostly made up of light units, there are times when even Ramah Taskforce players get to go big (rather than go home)! While you propably came here for the supersoldiers and other elite operatives , sometimes the situation (or one's mood) requires busting out the biggest guns and the heaviest armor; so let's talk about the two Tactical Armored Gear units ...
