Infinity: Reinf. Special Deterrance Group Azra'il (Spitfire AP)

Haqqislam is usually characterised by mobility and medicine rather than armour, which is what makes the Azra'il awkward for an opponent expecting the usual. This is heavy infantry that stands its ground, and in the Spitfire AP configuration it does so while putting armour piercing fire down a lane.

The Reinforcements version exists for games using the reserve wave format, where troops are held back and committed once the situation is clear. Bringing a heavy gun in at that point is a very direct way of answering whatever your opponent has just committed to.

• Faction: Haqqislam, at home in Ramah Taskforce lists.
• Role: durable heavy infantry with an armour piercing automatic weapon.
• Format: a Reinforcements profile, for groups playing with a reserve wave.

Supplied in metal and resin, unpainted and unassembled. Heavy infantry are among the more forgiving units to run because they survive mistakes, but the Reinforcements layer is not beginner material. New players should get a standard game under control first, ideally with a two player starter, and add reserve wave models once that is comfortable.
