	*'''Hassassin Farzans:''' Farzans struggle to find a niche in N4 outside of area denial having lost their Marksman profile from N3. Their 3 remaining profiles are highly targeted for either area denial with a minelayer, chain of command (very useful for a CC LT), or a forward observer with a rifle, flash pulse and d-charges. Not critical, but not totally useless either; the Nadhir, Shujae and Áyyār do the job of advanced deployment gun-fighters now.		*'''Hassassin Farzans:''' Farzans struggle to find a niche in N4 outside of area denial having lost their Marksman profile from N3.

	**'''Hussein Al-Djabel:''' Oh boy, the special character Fiday. This one gets MA4, a viral CCW and continuous damage BS Attacks (lol).

	*'''Hassassin Fiday:''' Arguably the reason why someone wants to play Hassassins, the Fiday is well known for terrorizing the human sphere and N4 gave their impersonation skills an upgrade! One of the few units that can get close enough to your opponents units on turn 1 to fuck them up - just watch out for biometric visors! Still, MA3 and impersonation makes them straight-up murderers.		*'''Hassassin Fiday:''' Arguably the reason why someone wants to play Hassassins, the Fiday is well known for terrorizing the human sphere and N4 gave their impersonation skills an upgrade!

	*'''Hassassin Shujae:''' You are going to immediately compare these guys to Nadhir because of just how similar they are. You could say the Shujae are Nadhir with all the goodies stripped out and that's probably fair. However, Shujae have one trick up their sleeves that Nadhir don't - SpecOps! Couples nicely with their Mimetism -6 and 8" forward deployment. Their BS13 is also good with options for an AP Rifle/LSG, BSG or SMG and Flammenspeer; each of these profiles also packs explosives, with D-charges, shock mines or E/M mines respectively.		*'''Hassassin Shujae:''' You are going to immediately compare these guys to Nadhir because of just how similar they are.

	*'''Asawira Regiment:''' Asawira are still the fast moving, tough-as-nails door-busters that they were in N3. Their statline has a jaw-dropping amount of 14s and outrageously high BTS 9 gives them proof against hacking and E/M weaponry; coupled with Regeneration, PH14 and ARM4 gives them a ton of staying power. Offensively, Asawira are just as brutal: all their primary guns have AP (boarding shotgun, AP rifle and for 1.5 SWC, an AP spitfire) and you can expect to have a good hit with their BS14 ~~- by Allah~~. And then there's their CC23, MA2 and Berserk +3! Asawira are straight-up dangerous at every range but they will be gunning to get up close to plunge a shock or DA CCW into anyone. They are fireteam wildcards and have a Doctor +3 profile, which is great with their WIP 14.		*'''Asawira Regiment:''' Asawira are still the fast moving, tough-as-nails door-busters that they were in N3.

They are fireteam wildcards and have a Doctor +3 profile, which is great with their WIP (you guessed it) 14.

	*'''Hassassin Áyyār:''' The Áyyār has seen a growth in its profile in N4, giving you three choices for Hidden deployment (like a limited TO camo from N3) or two with Forward Deployment. They still pack that Holoprojector and +1B Viral Pistols as standard; Surprise Attack -6 is now standard across all their profiles. Gone is the sniper rifle option (which also didn't benefit from surprise attack -6); both forward and hidden deployment profiles can choose between either a Shock marksman rifle or a breaker rifle, panzerfaust and zapper but forward deployment profiles get drop bears too. The third hidden deployment profile gets to take the classic Rifle and E/Mitter combo while the rifle gets +1B... and a ~~panzerfoust~~, just in case. A great ARO/hunter with a wide array of selections depending on how you want to surprise your opponent.		*'''Hassassin Áyyār:''' The Áyyār has seen a growth in its profile in N4, giving you three choices for Hidden deployment (like a limited TO camo from N3) or two with Forward Deployment.

	*'''Hassassin Bohktar:''' A new HI for N4, they sport MSV1, +3 and +2" dodge, Super Jump and pack a viral pistol. They can either be taken as a paramedic with a viral rifle (or +1B boarding shotgun if an NCO parachutist) or for 1.5 SWC, a red fury. Their real draw is either as an NCO with parachutist or as an FTO with tactical awareness that can join Govad/Muyyib link teams. You should absolutely attach one to a link team, BTW but with the profusion of Doctors (with +3 no less) in this list means you should give the paramedic a miss.		*'''Hassassin Bohktar:''' A new HI for N4, they sport MSV1, +3 and +2" dodge, Super Jump and pack a viral pistol.

	~~Hassassin have no Warbands~~.		*'''McMurrough, Mercenary Dog-Warrior:''' Probably a good bet for McMurrough to tag along with these guys because it means it's less likely he'll get hit with any of their viral weapons. Comes with the usual dog-warrior perks, like being a giant werewolf with berserk and total immunity/viral vulnerability. Yes, and - he has MA3 and an AP+DA CCW. Great for facing down a stubborn enemy TAG with more armour than sense. His smoke grenades ensure he won't be shot at and his regular grenades and chain rifles make sure the weedier speedbumps don't stay in your way for too long.

	*'''Hassassin Barids:''' Barids are exceptional cut-price hackers. Each profile carries pitchers which let you project your hacking threat across the board. This, combined with their WIP score of 14 and a BTS score of 3, make the Barid a very cost-effective solution if you want to play the hacking game. They can join a Ghulam Core for that sweet Sixth Sense bonus!		*'''Hassassin Barids:''' Barids are exceptional cut-price hackers.

	*'''Hassassin Husam Yasbir:'''		*'''Hassassin Husam Yasbir:''' A real bastard of a character. MA2 with a Viral CCW is dank and BS Attack (+1 Damage) with a +1B LSG is neat. Has two profiles: the FTO sports drop bears and a holomask for sneaking him into a link team, where he counts as either a Ghulam or a Bahram. Or as an infiltrator with Surprise Attack -3, a holoprojector and smoke grenades. Real bastard, this guy.
	**'''Husam Operative Leila Sharif:'''		**'''Husam Operative Leila Sharif:''' Less of a bastard than the above, but rocks a KHD, breaker pistol, E/M Mines and shock marksman rifle adding some specialized punch to a Ghulam or Bahram link.

	*'''Hassassin Lasiqs:''' Viral snipers, absolutely terrifying for anyone with low or no BTS, especially Ariadnans and doubly so their dogfaces (bearfaces if Kosmoflot). Basic loadouts pack a Viral Rifle and light shotgun with either an X-visor or Forward Observer with a Flash Pulse; the former gets +1 damage. For 1 SWC, you can instead take a Viral marksman rifle ~~with +1 damage~~ or a Viral sniper rifle, ~~also~~ with +1 damage. All profiles have shock immunity and -3 mimetism and they can all attach themselves to a fireteam with Govads and/or Muyibs.		*'''Hassassin Lasiqs:''' Viral snipers, absolutely terrifying for anyone with low or no BTS, especially Ariadnans and doubly so their dogfaces (bearfaces if Kosmoflot). Basic loadouts pack a Viral Rifle and light shotgun with either an X-visor or Forward Observer with a Flash Pulse; the former gets +1 damage. For 1 SWC, you can instead take a Viral marksman rifle or a Viral sniper rifle for 1.5, both with +1 damage. All profiles have shock immunity and -3 mimetism and they can all attach themselves to a fireteam with Govads and/or Muyibs.

	*'''Hassassin Nadhir:''' The Hassassin Nadhir is quickly rising to prominence in Haqqislam lists despite being a new profile because it combines some extremely powerful rules. The 24 point profile with the flammenspeer and the 26 point profile with the panzerfaust are both noteworthy for carrying weapons that are well-suited for AROs (burst 1 with high damage potential). The Nadhir also boasts hidden deployment which means no model is placed when you deploy it (you write a note describing where it is and reveal it as a surprise). Therefore the Nadhir can ~~take~~ extremely lethal surprise AROs, which might unravel your opponent's plans. A very good reactive piece. Outside of AROs, the AP marksman rifle profiles combo nicely with their BS Attack (shock), Forward and Hidden deployment and surprise attack -3, allowing you to brutalize anything up to a TAG with disgustingly punishing shooting at a surprisingly long range.		*'''Hassassin Nadhir:''' The Hassassin Nadhir is quickly rising to prominence in Haqqislam lists despite being a new profile because it combines some extremely powerful rules.

	*'''Muttawi'ah:''' Not the monster they once were, N4 split its profile up along different lines. Still good, but they're a tighter profile in N4 now that orders are limited to 15 and you'll be running a slightly more elite list. You won't be taking 4 anymore. The 5 point profile with smoke grenades is a staple if you just want a way to avoid irritating ARO pieces. The 6 point profile with the jammer gives you good zone control because that weapon does not need line of fire to shoot. And finally the 9 point profile with the e/marat is popular because its nasty template can take out very expensive heavy infantry and TAGs.		*'''Muttawi'ah:''' Not the monster they once were, N4 split its profile up along different lines.

	*'''~~Equipment 1~~:'''		*'''Viral Ammunition:''' This army does horrible things to light and medium infantry and scares some heavy infantry too. Viral ammunition does DA and Shock against BTS. Ariadnan Dog/Bear monsters are especially, literally vulnerable against them.
	*'''~~Equipment 2~~:'''		*'''Rifle/Light Shotgun:''' The standard issue line infantry combo for low-tech armies. Hassassins modify this with providing players with AP, Breaker and Viral ammunition.
	*'''~~Equipment 3~~:'''		*'''Mines:''' along with mine layers, mines of every flavour including viral mines (but not mono mines).

	*'''~~Skills 1~~:'''		*'''Religious Troops:''' No surprises, almost every Hassassin trooper has Religious Troop, meaning you have to take a guts roll to cower behind cover. Usually a plus, but can be detrimental.
	*'''~~Skills 2~~:'''		*'''Terrain:''' Desert or Total on most troopers, naturally. Grants a +1 MOV when moving through that terrain type, which is useful.
	*'''~~Skills 3~~:'''		*'''Forward Deployment:''' Lots of Forward Deployment or Infiltration, coupled with mimetism or hidden deployment. Perfect for area denial!

	~~Text Blurb~~.		You like superhuman super-spy gun-fighters with a middle-eastern flair. Hassassins give you a ton of options for board control and allow you to surgically delete cheerleaders and ARO pieces while you can muster stronger units to beat down or disable tougher units like enemy REMs, TAGs and HI.
