"Sakiels" the masters of the triads

Now the reality. One of the best troops of the tohaa army.

Sakiels...

I will try to tell my opinions on the sakiels.



4-4 movement, cc14, BS 12, ph 11, wip 13 , arm 2, bts 0
almost standart profile. They have total availability of 6.

coming with v:courage, symbiont armor and fireteam:triad.

the thing which makes them special is the equipments and how they synergy well with other troopers in the triads. Also have to say that sakiels have frenzy but they dont care it at all in a fireteam.

sakiels are basicaly cheap  2 wound troopers with some other nasty things in their bags. There are many tactical options they create and some of them are only unique for them.

Lets have a look at the options that they bring to table.


Sakiel viral combi - 24 points, 0 swc
My ex-love. You have viral combi with a chance of hitting your opponent with 4 deadly bursts. You still keep that nasty nimbus plus grenades for your mate, makaul. You have a lt. option too. after e have rasail viral and sukeuls, i dont take this option oftenly anymore. However, still a very good choice and hard to say anything negative about it. if anybody still doesnt know about it, viral ammo causes opponent to make 2 bts rolls for each hit. any unsuccesful one and your opponent dies directly if it has one wound only. what a killer. well, i have to give this variant 92 points out of 100 points. very good profile.

Sakiel combi rifle + nullifier - 18 points, 0.5 swc
Can you imagine ? 2 effective wounds for only 18 points. must be the cheapest one in infinity. coming with a combi, which is still a nice weapon in my opinion. Only negative side is, in the triads it is neither a real killer or a specialist. So i saw my self not taking it at the end. very solid profile but hard to find a place for it. i give 86 points for this profile.

Sakiel combi rifle + nimbus plus grenades - 18 points, 0 swc
Same things above but for me not a good choice, when we have other better options around. Still cheap and fruitful. But there is better. i give 83 points for this profile.

Sakiel combi + light rocket luncher - 23 points,  1 swc
Mama mia! Interesting profile indeed. Medium range rockets are really deadly in a triad. There is 1 swc which i have never mind. There is no nimbus plus. We will use this guy as a killer not a helper. Burst 3 rocket is impressive. One of the variants that i love and deserves to have 89 points from me.

Sakiel spitfire 23 points, 1.5 swc
Before in old days, was a solid option. But not any more. We have the sukeul and even neema. dont get me wrong, it is a very good choice still but we have to prefer different things nowadays. Optimised profile and very handy. Will give 88 points for that.

Sakiel paramedic 20 points ( yes only )
For me, star of the show. Many tricks in one bag. Can heal things, can push buttons, specialist, can use nimbus plus grenades, efficient weapon combi rifle. very cheap and 2 wounds. very good mate for the main killer of the triad. synergies really well with the makaul heavyflames. I have already given my points for that. 94 out of 100 points.

Sakiel forward observer 19 points ( yes only )
Again fantastic specialist. one point cheaper and coming with flash pulse in aro. Nimbus plus grenades... Forward observer attack with extra burst. almost similar with paramedic option and gets a solid 93 points out of 100 points from me.


to understand sakiels better, think on the symbiont bombs and mates too. Mates will give them extra wound and that will be neat. 19 points forward observer becomes an undying unit.

Bombs will shine too. sakiels have prettty ok wip 13 value to succeed in all the tricks.

Nimbus plus grenades create exotic circular templates that makes even the msv troops have -6 modifier in this poor visibility zone. Saturation zone decreases burst value with 1 step. Here, we have a fantastic tactical trick.

Makauls have 2 burst heavy flame throwers attack in the links. But they can choose two targets, so they can still use their templates twice! although they stay in this saturation zone. Meanwhile your opponent has to apply -6 mod. for their dodge. This tactic is a real link destroyer.

Get closer with the link. Use sakiels' nimbus plus grenades. Show up with makaul and burn!

I can hardly think about an offensive triad, without a sakiel specialist and a makaul.

Makauls have also eclipse grenades. Just think about how many options you have, while moving with triads.

Sakiels + makauls are more powerful together than they are alone for sure. Use this couple nicely in tohaa way and enjoy your opponents' tears.
