Woodclaw's 2E - Hercules, Iolaus, Xena, Gabrielle

[MisterO]

Great builds of the New Gods, Woodclaw! They really, really, really don't get much respect. A shame really.

Great builds of the New Gods, Woodclaw! They really, really, really don't get much respect. A shame really.

Thanks, I agree that some of the New Gods should have a little more comic time. Still, given the tragic look of their outfits, and some very lame monickers I think that overall it's a miracle that they survived so long.

[Woodclaw]

In preparation for the Apokolips build of my FOURTH WORLD series, I decided to include the minions par excellence.



Parademons

Flight armor (Device 3 [hard to lose]; 12pp)
Power pike (Device 3 [easy to lose]; 9pp)

Devices:

Flight armor (15pp of effects)

the cannon fooder of the Fourth World, Parademons aren't New Gods, they are test tube life forms created only to serve as Darkseid's disposable shock troops. As such I think that is logical to presume that they are build to work without sleep and food for extended periods of time

the above stats represent the typical Parademon trooper, given their usual low survival rate and low intelligence it's unlikely that a significant number even reached a higher level of skill. Still it's possible that some parademons learned or were breed with higher abilities to serve as special units

the PL was based around the fact that during Apokolips invasion the Metropolis SCU was able to fight them on equal terms

Parademons are geneticly loyal to Apokolips elite (usually they are bought as Fanatical minions), but in a hierarchical way, meaning that any command from a superior officier will automaticly override any previous order from any lower member of the elite (e.g. any order from Granny Goodness will override a order from one of the Furies). Obviously any order from Darkseid will override any other order

Am I the only one who think about the winged monkey from the wizard of oz when seeing a parademon ?
Otherwise nice builds of the 4th world characters

[luketheduke86]

Very nice New Gods build Woodclaw! You did an exceptional build on Mr. Miracle (my favorite) as well!

Am I the only one who think about the winged monkey from the wizard of oz when seeing a parademon ?

Well now I do! lol

[Woodclaw]

Am I the only one who think about the winged monkey from the wizard of oz when seeing a parademon ?

Never thought about it before (Wizard of Oz wasn't a big part of my childhood), but I can most certanly see the resemblance.

Otherwise nice builds of the 4th world characters

Very nice New Gods build Woodclaw! You did an exceptional build on Mr. Miracle (my favorite) as well!

Thanks guys I hope I'll like the next streak of Apokolips based builds.

Updating my Super-soldier builds to bring them in line with Captain America, while putting the finishing touches to my next builds. I'm still not 100% happy with the Skull resurrection power, if anyone has a good idea of how to handle it, please reply.

[Woodclaw]

New FOURTH WORLD build, welcome to Apokolips I hope I'll enjoy the fire-pits.


Virman Vundabar: Kalibak, Kalibak, Kalibak... I have used every vile punishment, every known torture, yet still you refuse to join Virman Vundabar's noble cause.

Complications: Obsession (pleasing Darkseid), Rivalry (Orion)


Kalibak is the archetype of the dumb bruiser, big, strong and really, really inaccurate. The DCAU versions suffer of both adaptation decay and adapatation improvement. While the Comic book Kalibak is harldly a genius, he is usually considered Darkseid right hand man and a competent soldier; the DCAU Kalibak is more of a comic relief villain, still having Micheal Dorn giving the speech in a Worfish voice is a great plus

the big difference between Kalibak and Orion is that - despite being both PL11 powerhouses - Kalibak reach his apex at PL11, Orion reach is bottom at the same PL

optionally Kalibak can be armed with his signature Beta club - which was absent from the Animated version, except a couple of scenes where it demonstrated no particulr power. The traits are based around the comic book version, but even unarmed Kalibak still reach his caps

Beta club (Device 5 [easy to lose]; 15pp)

Beta club (24pp of effects)

Granny Goodness was one of the strangest, most iconic and - in my opinion - less successful concepts of the Fourth World. This was an unfortunate consequence of having many author considering her more as a comic relief than the pure nightmare fuel she was suppoed to be. The DCAU's team made a great work with her, I really started to hate this psycho crone after watching Little Girl Lost

combat-wise Granny isn't particulary skilled for the standard of the New Gods, she is no slouch, but lacks the natural power to be a major menace like Kalibak, Barda or Orion. Her focus is on breaking people and rebuilding them as soldiers

Speaking of which Granny usually has a team of specially trained Parademons (90pp each with a little more intelligence and restrain than normal ones) to help her keep her children in line, sometimes these are replaced by teams of Hound soldiers (her former unit)

since Granny's armor never displayed any special or advanced ability I decided to downgrade it to equipment

Granny's Mother-box never displayed any advanced function, but I think it's safe to assume that she can use it to remotly control some functions of the Orphanage

[MisterO]

It truly sucks that we will probably never, ever get a Fourth World/New Gods movie.

The closest we got is "Masters of the Universe".

[Woodclaw]

It truly sucks that we will probably never, ever get a Fourth World/New Gods movie.

The closest we got is "Masters of the Universe".

Uhm... I don't know, given the medium quality of superheroes' movies I fear that a Fourth World one will be a major flop and will probaly cause Jack kirby to turn in his grave.

Comparing the New Gods to the MotU is... strange, but not completly out of place, I think.

[Woodclaw]

Having built Granny her girls are obviously close-by.


You called, Granny.

The Female Furies

part of Apokolips elite attack force the furies move on the thin line between being minions and being full characters. I placed them at PL9, alone they are mostly one trick ponies with little skills, still as a team they can be quite formidable opponents

due to their massive conditioning all the Furies have low will saves compensated by the Dedication (serve Darkseid) feat

Apokolips little S/M princess, Lashine is usually the field commander of the furies, as such she is more competent than her teammates

between her mobility and her ribbon whips she packs quite a punch and can slash open even opponents a lot tougher than her, unfortunatly she is a little of a glass jaw

Mad Harriet is a very basic scrapper, while Lashina is a high mobile long range striker, Harriet usually went close-up and personal

the combination of Lionheart and Rage is meant to represent her psychotic personality (psychotic even for the Furies standards)

the dumbest bruiser of all, really Stompa makes the worst of Hulk and Kalibak pale in terms of stupidity

Stompa is stronger and tougher than the typical new God, but still short of the levels of Barda, Orion or Kalibak and not nearly as accurate

[Horsenhero]

Great builds of the New Gods, Woodclaw! They really, really, really don't get much respect. A shame really.

Thanks, I agree that some of the New Gods should have a little more comic time. Still, given the tragic look of their outfits, and some very lame monickers I think that overall it's a miracle that they survived so long.

Here's an amusing tidbit of information many folks on the boards may not know.

In the mid-to-late 1970's [the exact time frame escapes me, it was a long time ago] DC tried a revamped New Gods comic series, with updated, more "standard super-hero" costumes for Orion, Jezebel of the Fiery Eyes and Forager, while Metron and Lightray, deemed as having visually appealing looks were left alone. The change caused a near revolt in the Fourth World fanbase and the comic was scrapped remarkably quickly. Thus, the original Kirby costumes remain the standard. Just goes to show...one man's tragic look is anothers' classic.

[Woodclaw]

I'm taking a detour from my Fourth World builds for two reasons, first of all Sunday will be the anniversary of the Invasion of Normandy, so I decided to make a little memorial service of mine by building some WW2 hero; second I want to save spot #200 for something very special.

So it's D-2 and here we have my first OPERATION OVERLORD build.

Blackhawk is not superhuman in anything, except piloting, on the ground he is a competent PL5 soldier but not much more, gave him a plane, any plane, and he will be able to outfly anything in the skyes (hell in a old comic book he was able to outmanuver Hawkman)

rulewise the only note is that I allow the mecha piloting feats from Me&Ma to be applied to any vehicle not just robots

Trevor is one of those characters that gave major credit to Bruce Timm and Paul Dini for their work, thye were able to take one of the lamest, most ill-treated support characters of the golden age make him look cool twice (Savage time and the Wonder Woman animated movie)

Trevor is solid PL5 spy/soldier mix with the addition of some piloting training, he is a distant second to Blackhawk skill level, but enough to face a common pilot a shot him down
