Building Your Army

	==Building Your Army==		==Building Your Army==
	~~One~~ to two ~~short paragraphs on~~ list ~~building~~.		List building in QK is part of the challenge that is Qapu Khalqi. You have all the tools to take the fight to your opponent, but not the unit slots or points and SWC to fit them all in the same list. Therefore you must think carefully about mission, potential enemies, and your own play style.

			Do you expect to face mimetism? Then Djanbazans and/or Arslan are essential. However, if you take too many Djans, a full core fireteam for example, then you will not be able to afford other important or powerful pieces. But take too few and they might not be effective. In an ITS format you have to leverage as much variety into your two lists as you can, because there is good chance you will find yourself in difficulties if you try to take just one "all comers" list.

	===Tactics===		===Tactics===
	*'''~~Shoot Enemy~~, ~~Don't Die~~:'''		*'''Be aggressive, be, be, agressive, be aggressive!:'''
	*'''~~Don't Die~~:'''		QK has many long range shooting tools at its disposal. Feuerbachs, HMGS, Missle Launchers, Sniper rifles of all kinds, but it also lacks good ways to protect those tools from incoming close range and CC units. If you can, move up early and pin your opponent back. You have the capacity to be somewhat oppressive with your Azra'il, Janissaries, and TAGs, but not if you sit back and let your opponent come to you. Much of your list is soft and squishy and you need you heavy units to not only shoot and drive forward, but to shield your soft underbelly from being gutted.
			*'''Death from above:'''
			As a sectorial you have limited units to choose from, but two of them, the Bashi Bazouk and the Yuan Yuan, drive much of your ability to interfere with your opponent's plans. Hassassins have Fiday and a whole lot of other stuff (wtf CB? Why do they get all the good stuff?!) Ramah Taskforce have speedy units to take the fight to the enemy, QK has drop troops to close the gap between your half of the table and your opponent's DZ. Get to know them, use them and like a true Haqqislam general, have your wiley irregulars show up the more expensive, more well trained, troops of the bigger factions.
	*'''Play the Objective:'''		*'''Play the Objective:'''
			You need specialists, right? Well, you have two, and they are both in the same unit. That's not entirely accurate, there are other specialist, but the two that matter are the Al Hawwa Hacker and Forward Observer. Both WIP14, both got camo etc. If AD troops and big guns are how you kill, Al Hawwa are how you win. Everyone will know what they are after a game or two, but that doesn't matter, get them up there, push some buttons and get the job done.

Special Skills

	*'''Skills 1:'''		*'''Skills 1:'''
			Minelayer. There are only two units in QK that have minelayer, but you need to know how to use them both. Qapu Khalqi does not like going second, it wants to move up, take up space and hit hard to keep the enemy off balance. If you are forced to go second you need to have a plan for how to deal with early Rambo runs, impersonators and camo attacks. Mines can help with this.
	*'''Skills 2:'''		*'''Skills 2:'''
			Terrain. There are a few key units that have terrain (total) or (Zero-G) and exploiting these two rules to the maximum is necessary to get the most out of your army. In the ITS rules there are often terrain rules that grant benefits or drawbacks depending on your units terrain skills. Remember earlier about QK wanting to be aggressive? Well that is all good and well, but a lot of your units are slow as shit, so take those terrain skill guys and gals and pick up that +1 inch MOV, or Super-Jump, or whatever, and use it every chance you get.
	*'''Skills 3:'''		*'''Skills 3:'''
			Parachutist/Combat Jump. QK has two types of AD troops and both of them can serve you well in threatening you opponent's DZ and messing up their plans. The Yuan Yuan is the commonest pick, but its Combat Jump is very unreliable. Non-the-less it is an 8 point threat that cannot be ignored. Similarly, the Bashi Bazouks are great disruptors. More pricey and therefore more difficult to fit into a list, they still can put the serious hurt on your opponent's backline and should not be discounted. You are playing the Navy and Pirates faction, AD troops are your friends.

Weapons and Equipment

	==Weapons and Equipment==		==Weapons and Equipment==
	*'''Equipment 1:'''		*'''Equipment 1:'''
			Holomask. Holomask is a key piece of equipment in QK. It is present on only two units, the Bashi Bazouk and Hafza, but is central to making the faction work. The Hafza specifically uses it a lot and will be a heavy presence in most QK lists. How you use your Holomasking troops is of vital importance and picking what to holomask as can be the difference between being in Loss of Lieutenant or not, at the start of your next turn.
	*'''Equipment 2:'''		*'''Equipment 2:'''
			HMG. QK has access to a lot of HMGs much more than the rest of Haqqislam. If you were so imclined you could fill out your whole SWC allowance with HMGs and nothing else. Druze, Djanbazan, Ghulam, Alguaciles, 2 x Shihab, Janissaries, Mobile Brigada and Iguana can all take HMGs to the party and the Azra'il and Scarface can take the AP version for extra punch. This makes QK the punchiest Haqqislam sectorial, in terms of firepower. You won't have the best shooters in the game, but you sure can stack those dice numbers in your favour.
	*'''Equipment 3:'''		*'''Equipment 3:'''
			Visors. QK has access to almost the whole gamut of visor types in Infinity. MSV1, MSV2, X-Visor and 360 Visor are all available in high quantities in the faction and getting to know and use them to their best effect will be to your advantage, you certainly wont have many others.

Faction Features

	==Faction Features==		==Faction Features==
	*'''Features 1:'''		*'''Features 1:'''
			Flexible fireteams. There is a lot of potential variety in QK fireteams, a good number of character wildcards and even a couple of generic units that can wildcard into any fireteam. This means you can take some heavy hitting units, like the Azra'il and Janissary ML, and not pay a massive tax to give them fireteam benefits, like extra burst, sixth sense and higher ballistic skill.
	*'''Features 2:'''		*'''Features 2:'''
			Punishing firepower. Remember the Azra'il and Janissary ML from feature 1? They hit hard. The Azra'il in particular is an incredibly powerful shooter and when it hits the target it takes some very lucky dice to not lose wounds or go straight to dead.
	*'''Features 3:'''		*'''Features 3:'''
			Mercs. Mercenaries are a key feature of Qapu Khalqi, whether it is Druze for the all important fireteam linked pitchers, or the wild and unpredictable Yuan Yuan dropping in to wreck shop, you will want to run at least a few, which give the faction a very different feel from the other Haqqislam sectorials.

Skirmishers

	===Skirmishers===		===Skirmishers===
	*'''Al Hawwa' Unit:''' ~~Regular infiltrating specialists with~~ a ~~great WIP14~~. ~~You~~ can ~~pick between FO~~, ~~Minelayer~~ (with ~~a Sniper~~) and a ~~Hacker~~. ~~Great for having~~ an ~~efficient button pusher~~.		*'''Al Hawwa' Unit:''' Until the arrival of the Beasthunter, the Al Hawwa were the only camo unit in QK and as such were, and are, a key part of any Qapu Khalqi army. There are three flavours: Hacker, Forward Observer, and Minelaying Sniper. At AVA3 you can take one of each if you so chose, or just three snipers for 6 total camo markers in the midfield. Not sure why you would do that, but you can. The Hawwa is your classic infiltrating camo specialist: 4-4MOV, Terrain(total), Mimetism (-3), surprise attack (-3) and Stealth all as standard, with D-charges and BSG for the specialists. These nice skills are coupled with BS11 (good luck hitting the target with your sniper) ARM1 and BTS0 meaning you really want to stay in camo if at all possible. That said, they give you a much needed midfield presence and the specialists are WIP14, so you can trust them to get the button pushing job done. In missions without exclusions zones you should take at least one, hell, even if there is an exclusion zone you should take one, they do the missions.
