Very nice Scouts, but if I remember correctly only full marines (i.e. those in power armour) get a Black Carapace.

Very nice Scouts, but if I remember correctly only full marines (i.e. those in power armour) get a Black Carapace.

I'm not so sure, i dont remember. But i'll clarify the stats are for Adept level 'Angels of Death'. If i'm right, they automatically have all three of those basic implants.

[dwellerofthedeep]

If I recall correctly, the scouts often have an immature black carapace, or something like that... So it could go either way.

[Libra]

I don't believe that the carpace would have been fitted to a scout, but it depends on the Chapter. Space Wolf scouts, for example, are mature warriors rather than noviates.

Builder’s Notes:
Here is the Voluptuous Girl of Danger from Battle Chasers. The first note here is that these characters are larger than life, so they earn 20 pp/PL towards being built. With that out of the way, I feel it necessary to point out I wanted to Emphasis her Voluptuous nature as they do in the comic books. So.. She gains a +2 bonus to distraction attempts during combat, because of her.. Um.. Assets ;) .

Red Is no one to laugh at, and is more than capable of handling herself in combat! She’s well versed in Swordsmanship, Unarmed combat, and with guns. And she’s the one he taught Garrison how to use a sword. Though she relies heavily on her ability to dodge out of the way to avoid damage.

Now that's what I call cutting insight.

Builders Notes:
And here’s Garrison from Battle Chasers, unfortunately he falls under power point costs. But I have tried to simulate him being the best swordsman that he can be with an interesting array of trained based powers. He turned out to be an interesting challenge to complete. The two things i wanted to point out was his "Dealing with Pain" power. This allows him to counter a critical hit should he expend a move action, to reset what ever damage was inflicted on him. Such as is seen when he relocates his arm in the fight with the Monk. This guy is just Bad A$$, I feel sorry for anyone who faces him. As well as his Penetrating Power Attack, which is basically just like another feat. But it doubles the penalty to hit, to add a bonus to damage and penetration ranks.

[Alexander]

Oh man, it's been a while since I've read Battle Chasers! Awesome builds, btw. Man, I can't wait for the rest of the cast (especially Gully!). Keep up the good work!

Hey Alexander, Thanks! I'm not sure who i am doing next, but i'll get to all of them .

[JoshuaDunlow]

As per special Request of Dr. Paranormal, here's a PL 5 version of Thor!

THOR (PL 5/75pp)
Abilities [14pp]: Strength 15 (+2), Dexterity 11 (+0), Constitution 15 (+2), Intelligence 10 (+0), Wisdom 12 (+1), Charisma 12 (+1)

Skills [2pp]: Gather Information 2 (+3), Intimidate 4 (+5), Search 2 (+2)
Feats [8pp]: All out Attack, Attack Critical Strike (Giants) 1, Attack Focus (Melee) 2, Dodge Focus 1, Endurance, Favored Attack (Giants) 1, Power Attack
Powers [18pp]:
Norse God Physiology
- Super Strength 3 [PF: Shockwave, Thunderclap]
- Immortality [Immunity 4 (age, disease, poison, cold) + Regeneration 1 (Resurrection; True Resurrection)]
Weather Control 2- Base: Lightning Bolt 2 [PF: 2 Alternate Powers]
- AP: Dazzle 1 [Thunder & Lightning (audible & Visual, Area Effect)]
- AP: Environmental Control 2 [Distraction, Rain, Extra: Dependent]
Devices [19pp]:
War Hammer “Mjolnir” 3 [Easy to Remove; Restricted: Requires Megingjord & Jarn Griepr to Wield]
Base: Thrown Hammer [Blast 3 (PF: Mighty 2, Improved Critical; Extra: Penetrating)] = 12
-> AP: Hammer Strike [Strike 3 (PF: Mighty, Improved Critical, Extra: Penetrating)] = 1
-> AP: Sure Strike [Strike 5 (PF: Extra: Penetrating 5, Line 1 )]
-> AP: Boost [Weather Control 6 (Extra: Total Fade)] = 1
Hard to Remove Devices 2
- Jarn Griepr “Iron Gauntlets” [Super Strength 1]
- Megingjord “Belt of Strength [Super Strength 1]
- Norse Armor [Protection +3 (Impervious)]

Builder’s Notes:
The Weather Control Array is low for a reason, because with his hammer he can boost the weather control array by 6 power points or 3 additional ranks. Which will raise all the powers in the array, for a total of 6 rounds at full strength. With the Boost your Array Powers look like this. [Lightning Bolt 5, Dazzle 3, And Environment Control 5]

RED MONIKA (PL 7/140pp)

Dang you, JD. You are going to cost me more money by making me want to pick this series up. These Battle Chaser builds rock.

As does your PL5 Thor. Thanks for posting them at the Mart.

One question, though. Do they go in the DC aisle or Other Comics aisle? I kind of consider Wildstorm an "other".

[JoshuaDunlow]

I have no idea, what ever you feel is best.
