Noob question about a Hassassin Muyib

[JMMelo]

Hi,

So, I am totally new at the game, and just brought my first minis used from a friend. I was trying to built my force on the website army builder and there is ONE miniature I cannot for the life of me find there: The regular muyib with rifle and light shotgun.

I uploaded the miniature I mean, and I actually have 2 of him. But the muyibs I find in the builder are all either armed with a DEP or a LGL, so I am a bit confused. Can anyone shed some light?



Thanks,

JM

He's the "almost universal proxy".

You can use him for any Rifle+Light Shotgun -armed Muyib profile. Rifle+LGL too, in a pinch.

Now, there are 7 Muyib loadout profiles, as you've probably noticed:
- Heavy Rocket Launcher, who doesn't carry a Rifle, and has his own model.
- Rifle + LGL (Smoke / Normal). This model could represent him, although there is an apprpriate mdoel for this one, too.
- Spitfire. There is a model.

Now, the remaining 4 are more interesting:
- Viral Minelayer, armed with Rifle+LSG, DEP and Viral Mines.
- EM Minelayer, armed with Rifle+LSG, DEP and E-Maulers.
- Doctor armed with Rifle+LSG & DEP
- Panzerfaust Gunner armed with Rifle+LSG & Panzerfaust.

Now, we have these 4 profiles, and 2 existing sculpts:
- the guy with a DEP on his shoulder. He can represent a Doc or one of the Minelayer variants.
- the guy with Rifle+LSG in his hands, who can represent any of these 4 variants.

Personally, I use him for the Panzerfaust guy, because that's the one and only model to represent this particular loadout. But that's because I have two DEP guys (one for Viral Mines, the other with an E-Mauler in his hand) and a Doc (converted from an excess LGL gunner). Maybe, one day, I'll scratchbuild a Panzerfaust for the "proxy" Muyib...

I've gotten one type of this model extra through to Shae-Konnit's Split Box service, just for all the reasons Errhile mentioned above; gives me more flexilbity to create a five-man linkteam; no need for HRL/Spitfire/Smoke Launcher in every set-up.
