Now, your extremely high cost, low amount of units army is going to be very interesting to fight with my extremely low cost, large amount of units army. I wonder how to take on so much concentrated power...mcpop9 said:
You need point values on your units and as an advanced warning, a high morale bonus can be nullified by a low morale debuff.mcpop9 said:[HEADING=2]The Elementals..[/HEADING][hr]
"We are the Strong... the Proud... The Few..."
The elementals are the protectors of the advanced biotech race. The biotech's are humans that have genetically manipulated themselves into many different forums, death by disease and aging are no longer issues. The race once spanned any different systems and planets, however, they were peaceful and did not have any sort of militaristic force. another race came in and began to crush them, it wasn't till half their empire fell that they managed to get a military up. their forces were rapidly produced and designed to be small and heavy hitting. They lost ground, but were eventually able to stop the race, barely holding on to their last planet. They built a portal to another dimension and sent through a colony ship with the biotech's remaining population and forces.
Low in numbers, but in the upper tiers of technological advancement, they are a force to be reckoned with.
1: Atrocity Hardened
These soldiers watched their own families get torn to shred before their very eyes, leaving them hardened to any sort of degradation of their will in battle.
2: Desperation of the lost
Any corpses or technology recovered in battle is completely scrutinized, broken down and analyzed, to find any sort of weakness or previously unknown technology or adaptation to give their forces an edge in future battles.
3: Team's Blood bond
The teams that the elementals are on are together since they first entered training. they know one another's strengths and weaknesses, allowing the unit to work as one entity, almost a single consciousness.

Name: Mystic.
She is a legend among her kind, fielding solely shields to fight and protect herself; the damage she can take is massive and the damage she can dish out is more. Her squad was the first done and sent to fight the invaders, but by the end of the conflict and the time she arrived here; her entire squad was killed. This left her the last alive and the most determined to keep her kind alive.
1: Shields: Mystic has the strongest hard shields of any fielded elemental and she can used them in almost any way she can think of. Protecting her squad, punching through armor, forming blades, anything really.
2: Wise Leader: She knows the fights to fight and the ones to not. Mystic has been around the battlefield a large number of times and is good at planning, setting traps and flanking and the such.
3:Unwavering determination: her determination and will to win is so strong that it cannot be faltered or broken, even alone on the field of battle.
Dani
Dani hatashi:1000pts
Is the sister of Luna Hatashi and together, they make a near invincible team, knowing quite literally what the other is going to do in order to work in perfect tandem. Dani is tied for the second most powerful Elemental with her sister, a title they are more than happy to share. She wields a shield staff and a shield hilt, allowing for many different possibilities of weapons
-Shield manipulation master
-Unknown Ability, "Awakening"

Luna Hatashi:1000pts
Luna is Dani's sister, being from the same squad and being the only two left, she prefers defense and heavy hitting to dani's style of run and gun. Therefore, she has her shields being able to hand far more than dani's. She also has the unique ability to manipulate mass, an extremely rare and uncommon thing within the elementals.
-Mass manipulator
-Heavy shielding expert

Standard infantry: 10 pts
These guys are tough little buggers to squash. They use hard light weapons, early ones at that. Their combat armor allows them to take a bit of a beating while doing some damage to light armor. Their weapons can pierce most infantry armor, though highly reflective metals have been show to reduce effectiveness.
These guys however, can be equipped with a large number of other weapons to fill other roles as well.

The Elementals: 50 pts
This is where the army gets the bulk of its kick from, squads of these girls get sent in to tactically take out other units, targets, sabotage, you name it and they can do it.
They use Shields and other standard weapons to fight. this is where each soldier really breaks off and individualizes.

Light elemental: 65 pts
Extremely maneuverable and fast fighters, these elementals are far more deadly than their full soldier sisters. They are more trained in their shields, they fight allot better and have their styles far more honed than the others.
Armed with a shield staff, they can effectively counter allot of what can come their way. Anything from infantry to very light vehicles.

Bio Synthetic Battle Mechs: 70 pts
Electro elastic ribbon bundles provide primary locomotion in place of the common hydraulic motor. They provide a wide range of motion from a single joint, allowing very fluid and human-like motion. The bundles are resilient to damage, only loosing the power of severed fibers, where a motor might be paralyzed by such a hit.
While stick and throttle controls with aid of nav AIs can allow a standard pilot to control a biomech, full synchronized motion can only be achieved through a neural link. Siphoning off nerve impulses to the pilots body, the mech becomes an extension of the pilot.
Capable of terrifyingly effective close combat, biomechs are the king of urban warfare. maybe twice the size of a human.

Leopard Light anti gravity tank: 100 pts
These tanks also act as infantry fighting vehicles, serving as protection for the troops inside it as well as fire support.
It has a 3 inch rail cannon and a minigun mounted on a turret atop the tank.

Warhawk transport gunships: 250 pts
These fast and agile transports are armed with two missile pods for ground attacks, two Air to Air missiles and a large caliber gun up front, roughly equivalent to a 30 mm cannon. They can deploy flairs and a squad of infantry or elementals in the back. Can hook up with elementals
[hr]
http://shimmering-sword.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=72#/d3auk8b
Vultures: 500pts
These massive Transports aren't heavily armed, but what it can carry in the back are. They are large enough and vulnerable enough to warrant a high powered shield system to protect it during landings. it can carry any vehicle that the Elementals could think of or use. Can link up with elementals, giving them data and control over defenses.
It has many countermeasures, such as early interception, counter missiles, flares, smoke bombs and for offense it has a massive 40mm cannon on its nose.[hr]

Shimmering Sword, SMR06 Behemoth experimental mech (named after the bright particle lances fired from it's arms).2500 pts
Drop this into any battlefield with relatively level terrain and it will create and area denial zone with weapons you'd expect to find on naval ships. Can hook up with elementals.
-2 Howitzer type guns provide beyond line of sight strike capability, using guided munitions for accuracy.
-Arm mounted Ion Accelerators will slice anything in half that comes into direct visual (or hides behind less than a hillside)
-4 laser turrets and a central missile system provide medium range defense against ground and air aggressors.
Massive cooling systems on the mechs back fight against the heat buildup caused by running the numerous energy weapons, large reactor, and an energy shielding system. The high proportion of energy weapons also leaves it weak against opposing shielded targets. The SMR doesn't deploy without escort though.
I hope that this is ok. i'll only be fielding a few units at any given time unless its necessary to go to full out war.
I do have the point vaqlues, they are next to their names. i only forgot mystic's point value. And its less of moral buff than it is a constitution and determination to not lose. they've seen the worst of the worst already and have everything to lose.drmigit2 said:
