Generic list for 2nd game (150)

I've recently played my first game of Infinity with Qapu Khalqi and - through the will of Allah and with a fistful of luck - i've won ! :D
And now that i've purchased a pile of models i'm to prepare for the next battle.
My opponent told me to include a hacker and an engineer next time and especially recommended the kaplan battle engineer.
I myself want to include the dzanbazan sniper since we was THE dominating model in the last game killing 3(!) camoed models and a moira. :D

So this is the list i came up with: (using infinity army app on android i'm unable to copy paste so here's the short form;)

Dzabazan - sniper
Al'Hawwa - hacker
Najjarun Engineer - the kaplan is too expensive...?
Ghulam - lieutenant
Ghulam - doctor
Ghulam - HMG
Ghulam - rocket
150 points / 3 SWC

This list reeks of bad: an obvious lieutenant and somebody told me that it is not very smart to include two SW in a link team.
Can you help me to improve thge list?

EDIT: Sorry, i've overlooked the Army-list-forum :blush: can a mod please move this thread?, thanks :)

No problem.

As to the list itself - I see little point in bringing in an engineer in a 150pts game, especially if you have nothing he could repair (save for al'Hawwa's Hacking Device and Djanbazan's MSV, and you'd have to be completely unlucky to get either broken). Well, yes, he could also unglue ADHLed models and defuse mines, but still - marginal applications...

Unless you are going to play a scenario that specifically requires an Engineer, I'd leave him at home.

As to two SWC weapons in a Link Team - it is not a rule. In fact, it rather depends on what these weapons are and how do you intend to use them. What you have here - HMG + Panzerfaust - is an OK setup.

If you decide to drop the Najjarun, you'll have 17 points to spend. My suggestions would be:
1. a Hafza, who can join the Ghulam link and is a viable alternative Lt choice.
2. a Ghulam body double for your Lt, and a Nasmat REM for the Doc, for example to watch over the Djanbazan Sniper on his sniping perch.

Both these options give you a 5th model for your link team, and a body double for your Lt. #2 choice brings also "remote hands" for your Doc that require some forethought and skill to use effectively (in short - the rules make Doc drop out of the link team every time she activates the Nasmat), but also gives your Djan a better survival chance than if he had to rely on his Regeneration ability.
