It's supposed to clear obstacles and demolish structures. It can also repair vehicles and buildings.
The desperation of the war with the covenant forced the Cyclops into frontline combat duty.

I just posted the vehicles used by the humans in Halo:Combat Evolved. They were relatively easy to convert since they have modern day analogues. I also added a vehicle and mech from halo wars to complement the UNSC side.

I'll post the covenant vehicles soon. I'll even include the Giant Scarab mech.

On a side note I added the accurate power feats to all laser weapons for my zentraedi mecha. It really helps to differentiate laser weapons from ballistic ones.

Halo, Nice. Now if only I had an xbox to be able to play the last couple of games

Will you be doing some basic troopers? I figure the standard soldier fits for the basic unit with only Master Chief (and the others like him, not sure what they are called collectively) being really different.

I'm sorry. I won't be doing the infantry anytime soon. I think others on the board have some of the covenant infantry and master chief already built. The Master Chief and others like him are called Spartans.

I should have the Covenant up soon. I just need to figure out a good flaw for the plasma weapons. I can't decide if they should all overheat or do less damage to infantry. I forget what they're like in gameplay.

Size 61 + Abilities 35 + Base Features 22 + Complementary Features 4 + Weapons 75 - Drawbacks -8 =

189 Mecha Points

Notes: This giant walker is a mobile fortress on legs. It is used to destroy emplacements, fortresses,
support covenant ground forces.

One of the few ways to defeat it other than heavy firepower is to board it. A intruder must destroy the
scarab's central core from within. This is easier said than done since the Scarab carries a untold number of
Covenant infantry within itself.

[HustlerOne]

The Covenant are now up. Covenant vehicles are more expensive than human ones. In return they get good firepower from their plasma cannons. They also get a better top speed with their boost ability.

The Plasma Cannons can easily penetrate shields and armor. However they do less damage to infantry. They do only half the damage to Infantry. That or they overheat. They shutdown for one turn to cool off if used on autofire for two turns consecutively. Pick either one as a flaw. I really can't remember what the difference was between ballistic and plasma weapons were.

If you don't know what the nitro injectors feature are. Then just use boost(speed)1 power.
The same goes for jumping jacks feature for the warthog. Just use the leaping 1 power.

Hopefully I captured the Halo vehicles and Mecha correctly. Tell me if I got anything wrong since I don't play
Halo much. Well enjoy the Halo builds!

[HustlerOne]

It looks like I forgot to add the size combat modifiers for some of my builds. I just applied the changes to any build that has the growth and shrinking power.

I just played the space marine game demo. It was awesome taking on ork hordes. It was so good I decided to do some more builds for the Orks. I'm going to try to build some of the enemies shown in the demo such as the gretchin, squigs, and the Nobz.

I also have some Starshiptroopers vehicles done. I'm currently working on the Marauder Mech. That should provide some opponents to my Arachnid builds. I'll have them posted soon.

the Arachnids have no true fighter. Pilots still need to beware of low flying Hoppers.

Note: Speed is Flight


Notes: This transport is used by the fleet of the United Citizen federation. Used to transport infantry into
and out of hostile dropzones. Can carry 40 passengers.

[HustlerOne]

The vehicles of the United Citizen Federation are now here. They're actually quite inferior compared to other Sci fi or even modern vehicles. That's not much of a problem since the federation only fights the "primitive" Arachnids.

The Arachnids can't take on Federation Mechs and vehicles one on one. Thankfully for them they usually outnumber their human counterparts two to one! The Arachnids fight a war of Attrition. The Federation is probably more suited to a blitzkrieg style.

It should be noted that these vehicles and the marauder mech applies mostly to the animated series, films and rpg versions. I don't know much about the book version.

I should have the Marauder mech up soon.

Well... those write-ups are pretty cool, actually. All of them. Incredibly useful, too.

One thing to consider, though, is that the now (quite regrettably) defunct Mongoose Publishing SST line (and the CG cartoon) added some additional vehicles and other stuff.

Such as, for example, the 'Chickenhawk' mecha (which is purely fire support), the standard Ape suits, a standarized power armor (which is more of an Advanced Warfighter rig than Iron Man stuff, but it's still pretty useful. The SST RPG even went into an attempt at fusioning the book, cartoon and movie versions by making the movie an 'accelerated training' Trooper (esentially an in-verse 'Red Shirt' that got an advantage of having lots more dakka on his side), the CG version the more standard (for them) 'Cap Trooper' and then the book-style power armor given to the elite), a combat robot (the C.H.A.S.), armed jet skis, 'Skinny' troopers and so on.

Dunno. I understand that many folks, when they hear 'Starship Troopers', think solely of Verhoeven's movie. So it's an obstacle, right there.

As for the WH40K vehicles, there's a few additional things that could be added. For example, the Super-Heavy battletanks (like the Baneblade), some other soldier types (well, stormtroopers and the Kasrkin are elite and have extra gear and such).

[HustlerOne]

Well... those write-ups are pretty cool, actually. All of them. Incredibly useful, too.

Thanks for the compliment. My Maruader build takes into account both the TV and Film versions. Just add the Missile launcher for the "Ape" CGI version. You may also want to remove the no hands disability. I'll add a pic of the Ape version when I can.

I actually converted my starshiptroopers builds using the rpg as a guide. I may just have to build the "chickenhawk" marauder and the Chas robot just to round out the mobile infantry. Maybe even add in the skinny raiders from the core rulebook. That could take a while.

I actually prefer the roughneck chronicles myself than the movie. Though mongoose publishing did a good job integrating all versions into one cohesive whole.

I have some more Ork infantry done as well. Namely the ones from the Spacemarine game demo. I'll post them up next. I just have to work on the elephant like squiggoth first.
