QK straight and to the point

by Errhile » September 24th, 2015, 4:44 pm

This is a list I've been using on and off a couple of times. Doesn't need too much thinking, so it is good for those days when I don't really feel my grey matter will be working properly.

I haven't tested it in an ITS game, but in 20x20 it works just fine.

Image Qapu Khalqi
──────────────────────────────────────────────────

Group 1 Image Image Image10 Image0 Image0
Image SEKBAN (Fireteam: Haris L1) AP Rifle, Chain-colt / Pistol, Stun Pistol, Knife. (23)
Image SEKBAN Heavy Rocket Launcher, Chain-colt / Assault Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 24)
Image SEKBAN Lieutenant AP Rifle, Chain-colt / Pistol, Stun Pistol, Knife. (22)
Image JANISSARY Boarding Shotgun / Pistol, CCW. (31)
Image JANISSARY Boarding Shotgun + 1 TinBot A (Deflector L1) / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0.5 | 32)
Image JANISSARY AP Rifle + Light Shotgun / Pistol, CCW. (36)
Image JANISSARY Akbar Doctor (MediKit) AP Rifle + Light Shotgun / Pistol, CCW. (41)
Image JANISSARY HMG / Pistol, CCW. (2 | 40)
Image HAWWA' Hacker (Assault Hacking Device) Boarding Shotgun, D-Charges / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 26)
Image SHIHAB REMOTE HMG / Electric Pulse. (1 | 25)


5.5 SWC | 300 Points

Open with Army 5

As you can see, it is straightforward.
Note - if you drop the TinBot, you could swap a Sekban Lt. for a Janissary Lt.

How do I use it?

Sekbans are there to provide rear-area security. With 360-visors, they do well in that role. The HRL provides long-range template ARO and - provided the layout permits that - offensive piece.

Same with Shihab REM.

The primary attack force is the Janissary Link. Old favourite, the HMG, as main elemnt of firepower, but up close, the AP Rifles and then Shotguns come in handy, too. In cover, the Janissaries are very resilient, and the Doc allows you to bring up anyone who fell unconscious. Boarding Shotguns are the least important team members, so if you have to put someone in harm's way - assuming the range is acceptable - then Shotgunner Janissary is your man.
It results in an extremally resilient Link Team - last time I used it (against a 17-model Tohaa force), I had to renew the Link 4 times, bringing unconscious models up with the Akbar Doctor.

Al'Hawwa is there as a problem solver / objective grabber.

That's a good straightforward doorbreaking, arsekicking QK list. Fireteam + Haris and all in ten models, too!

Possibly too light on specialists for ITS, but still an awesome and dangerous setup.

Yeah probably not enough specialists for ITS, but I could see adding in one to each of the fireteams with some shuffling without drastically affecting the way the list plays if that becomes a priority.

The one below gives you 4 specialists with 7 points to spare, at the cost of a little beef in the fireteam:

As I'm waiting for my copy of HSN3, I've been running another small-but-tough QK list last Friday:

Image Qapu Khalqi

Did great for Quadrant Control, though I guess it would be advisable to have a tinbot with the link Team (I knew I was going against Tohaa, so that wasn't necessary...).

I love those first two lists you posted. Straight up dakka. But isn't 10 orders too little these days? I guess not when you're using two link teams.

One link team, actually. The Sekban aren't very mobile anyway, so all the Haris Link does for thme is provide extra Burst.

Like with the Bahram list, I guess I'd be in more trouble if I had to follow several objectives located around the board - but I still have two specialists here who could actually pull that job - Janissary Doc (good mobility, tough, and protected by a Link Team of other tough guys) and al'Hawwa (sneaky Camo Infiltrator with good mobility).

There is also a Sekban Doc in list #1, and Algulaciel Hacker in list #2, but apart form very specific circumstances they are not meant to deal with objectives: there are better tools (Janissary Doc and al'Hawwa) for the job available, and if you've lost both of these, you usually are done Order-wise anyway.

The list #2 has also a valuable asset in the form of a Rafiq REM, and it does pretty well as a Specialist - and as and assault REM, provided you are after light targets (and, preferably, your hacker is still up to buff the REM).

No, you must succumb!

QK is where Haqq abandons all pretense of subtlety and brings the firepower and pain to bear.

This is not a particularly optimised list (I put it together in about five minutes before leaving for the game store...), but I had a spectacular game last week with this QK list:

Image Qapu Khalqi
──────────────────────────────────────────────────

GROUP 1Image Image Image10
Image JANISSARY Boarding Shotgun + 1 TinBot A (Deflector L1) / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0.5 | 32)
Image JANISSARY Missile Launcher / Pistol, CC Weapon. (2 | 39)
Image JANISSARY AP Rifle + Light Shotgun / Pistol, CCW. (0 | 36)
Image JANISSARY AP Rifle + Light Shotgun / Pistol, CCW. (0 | 36)
Image GHULAM Hacker (Hacking Device) Rifle + Light Shotgun / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 20)
Image GHULAM Lieutenant Rifle + Light Shotgun / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 12)
Image HAWWA' Hacker (Assault Hacking Device) Boarding Shotgun, D-Charges / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 26)
Image HAWWA' (Forward Observer) Boarding Shotgun, D-Charges / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 21)
Image HAWWA' (Forward Observer) Boarding Shotgun, D-Charges / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 21)
Image DJANBAZAN Sniper Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 31)

GROUP 2Image Image Image3 Image3
Image YUAN YUAN Chain Rifle, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, Shock CCW. (0 | 8)
Image YUAN YUAN Chain Rifle, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, AP CCW. (0 | 8)
Image YUAN YUAN Chain Rifle, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, DA CCW. (0 | 9)

4 SWC | 299 Points

Open in Infinity Army

On a fairly open table, my opponent ran PanO Shock Army of Unpronounceable, which he's run before to great success. 5-body link of Bag-Mari MI, a couple of HI Knightly types, and a few other things.

I got first turn, dropped all three YY around his Montesa Knight and tied it up, then the Jann missile launcher moved up and fired a single shot that wiped out four of his five man Bag-Mari team. My sniper took out the fifth Bag-Mari, and at that point it was all over save the grumbling.

Just for concept-mongering, this list can still be created under HSN3 rules:

Image Qapu Khalqi
──────────────────────────────────────────────────

Image10
Image SEKBAN Lieutenant AP Rifle, Chain-colt / Pistol, Stun Pistol, Knife. (0 | 21)
Image SEKBAN (Fireteam: Haris) AP Rifle, Chain-colt / Pistol, Stun Pistol, Knife. (0 | 22)

Image SHIHAB REMOTE HMG / Electric Pulse. (1 | 25)

5.5 SWC | 299 Points

Using a HMG instead of the ML would need rearranging it a bit:

GROUP 2Image Image Image1
Image WARCOR (Aerocam) Flash Pulse / Stun Pistol, Knife. (0 | 3)

5.5 SWC | 300 Points

Of course you could also go all the way fireteam, if you really wished so, but I believe it would get a bit Order-starved:

Well, okay, time for another straight-and-to-the-point QK list. This one went through Stiopa's Phalanx like... nope, not going to use this comparison ;)

GROUP 1Image Image Image10

Image HAWWA' Hacker (Assault Hacking Device) Boarding Shotgun, D-Charges / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 26)

GROUP 2Image Image Image1
Image ODALISQUE Submachine gun, Contender, Nanopulser / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 22)

5.5 SWC | 300 Points

Open in Infinity Army

I've later had the idea to swap the Odalisque and Hafza for a Janissary Lt, but it was finally a good idea not to: the Odalisque provided me with a reserve, 11th Order I was able to transfer into the main Combat Group.

Roles here:
- the Azra'ils are there to provide long-range fire support (though the HMG one can also shorten the distnace and lay suppressive fire). Against, well, anything.
- the Janissary Doc is there primarily to keep the big guys going (via Nasmats). With his Akbar Doctor and Azra'il's Cubes, he should be doing well. He's also a Specialist.
- the Sekban are the major offensive force, though of course the MOV 4-2 isn't the perfect choice. Actually it was a close assault with a Shotgun that finished the game. They also have a Doc to keep them going and to fulfill Objectives.
- al'Hawwa. Camo Infiltrating specialist is always good. He doubles as problem-solver, too.
- Hafza Lt. He's just hiding there. Mine pretended to be a second Odalisque.
- Odalisque. with 360-Visor and SMG, she's a nasty way to set up a Suppressive Fire. Otherwise, she's there as a secondary offensive piece and backup Order.

That would look quite amusing on the tabletop, all these heavily armed and armoured guys and then just this girl in crop top & skirt with a knife and pistol :)

What would you disguise the Hafza as do you think?

Not "would". The list was played befre I posted it here.
Hafza, as I wrote above, pretended ot be another Odalisque. Hardly anyone wants to bother one if they don't really need to...
