Maghariba Guard

Great TAG for RTF and vanilla Haqqislam. Needed a bit of care joining all the pieces together, though. Warsenal shipped quick!

This model is another fine example of CB’s outstanding mastery of sculpting models from the white metal medium. So much detail, and such a beautiful piece!

Be Warned: this thing is a monster. She’s the second largest model in the game (I think), and as a result, shipping to one state over from WARSENAL HQ cost me a handy $9.00 approximately. This TAG is MASSIVE and weighs more than a pint mug filled with your opponent’s salty tears. I assembled mine with super glue and PVA glue and she hasn’t broken… yet. Can definitely see the merits for pinning this thing, though.

Game-wise: she’s not bad. Several folks, including myself, believe she’s over-costed points-wise for what you get. All the standard features of a heavy TAG, but seeing as she’s the only one we have in Haaqislam so far, we have to make do. And in my limited experience so far, I love her. Took her to an event, set her in a panic room with a Friday and a Rafiq remote, and she consistently shrugged off Panzerfausts, small arms fire, missiles… even a crazy engineer than slapped a D-Charge to her. And she. Killed. Everyone. All in all, though she’s kinda “standard” and doesn’t really have many special tricks, I find myself wanting to buy another one and running two just for the LOLs. Also, her pilot is a Paramedic, which can eliminate the need for including a squishy Doctor in your list.

All in all: Super happy with this model. Warsenal shipped her quick. On the table she’s a menace, though that can be deduced by your opponent the second they take a look at her Silhouette 8 cake, and besides some built-in ECM and high Armor, she doesn’t have any sneaky tricks. Make no mistake, she’s not a graceful sneak piece, but she’s a sledgehammer that behaves like one on the tabletop. Just let her off the leash and she may surprise you.
