The Consortium Part II: College Set
Posted: Sat Feb 12, 2011 8:53 pm
Alright, so this took a bit longer than I expected, mostly because I got carried away and had to take a break from statting everything out to build some more stuff. And whenever I had to build more stuff, I had to take more pictures. It's a vicious cycle...
Anyhoo, these are the Consortium forces I have in my college dorm. All of them have stats. Incidentally, ignore the stats I've posted for the Consortium's other two vehicles, for the time being; they're not really done. Or even legal, though that's a fairly minor consideration.
Bah, I'm off on another tangent. Without further ado, the Consortium is back!
Consortium Shock Troopers are trained in both ranged and melee combat, for a versatile, efficient assault force. Units generally contain a blend of weaponry, with at least one Heavy Shock Trooper for heavy support.
Consortium Shock Trooper (8 CP)
-Move: 5"
-Skill: 1d6+1
-Armor: 6 (1d10)
-Abilities:
--MK II IRHC Body Armor (+2 CP): Impact-Reducing HoneyComb armor is the latest of its kind, incorporating layers of force-reducing micro-hex components that provide superior lightweight protection. The MK II variant grants a +2 armor bonus, with no penalty to move.
--Special Combat Drilling (+1 CP): The Shock Trooper undergoes extensive conditioning before being accepted into the Consortium Shock Core. This trooper can fire long-range weapons one-handed and gains +1 to skill rolls when firing a long-ranged weapon with two hands.
Equipment:
-Universal Storage Clip (1 CP)
--Notes: Allows transportation of one additional weapon, clipped to the wearer's back.
-Blaster Carbine (6 CP)
--Use: 3
--Range: 10"
--Damage: 1d6+1
--Notes: Instead of firing a single shot in the usual manner, the user of this weapon my choose to fire off three shots in one turn. All shots must target the same or adjacent targets, and the carbine's Use rating for that turn is increased by 1. In addition, the carbine may not be fired in the next round.
-Shield (1 CP)
-Nano-Composite Chainsword (4 CP)
--Use: 4
--Range: CC
--Damage: 2d6
--Notes: None
-Consortium Standard-Issue Beamsaber (7 CP)
--Use: 4
--Range: CC
--Damage: 3d6
--Notes: May be used by a Farce Sensitive (or any being with sufficiently ludicrous reflexes, like say, a Ninja) to deflect ranged attacks from any weapon not larger than a minifig. (Note: Shock Troopers do not have such reflexes.) Any failed attack with this weapon has a 50% chance (rolled result of 1-3) of lopping off one of the user's limbs.
-MCA-10 Heavy Repeater Pistol (6 CP)
--Use: 4
--Range: 6"
--Damage: 1d6+2
--Notes: Instead of firing a single shot in the usual manner, the user of this weapon my choose to fire off three shots in one turn. All shots must target the same or adjacent targets, and this weapon's Use rating for that turn is increased by 1.
-"Perforator" RPG Launcher (4 CP)
--Use: 3
--Range: 10"
--Damage: n/a
--Notes: Fires RPGs (duh).
-Penetrator Rocket-Propelled Grenade (1.5 CP)
--Use: 3 (a properly equipped minifig may spend a turn preparing this projectile to detonate. Upon the end of the player's next turn, it does so with style.)
--Range: n/a
--Damage: 1d10 exp
--Notes: Armor-piercing missiles designed to first penetrate, then detonate. If fired with an RPG launcher, any target physically hit by this projectile recieves a 1d6 armor penalty for that attack.
Consortium Heavy Shock Trooper (8 CP)
-Move: 5"
-Skill: 1d6+1
-Armor: 6 (1d10)
-Abilities:
--MK II IRHC Body Armor (+2 CP): Impact-Reducing HoneyComb armor is the latest of its kind, incorporating layers of force-reducing micro-hex components that provide superior lightweight protection. The MK II variant grants a +2 armor bonus, with no penalty to move.
--Heavy Gunner (+1 CP): +1d6 to skill rolls for heavy long-ranged weapons.
Equipment:
-Consortium "Immolator" Plasma Cannon (11 CP)
--Use: 5
--Range: 12"
--Damage: 2d10 exp
--Notes: None
Some of you may have noticed some discrepancy in the above pics. That's due to some of the aforementioned tweaking, mostly of this guy:
He's not a heavy, btw. The Heavy Shock Trooper has the spiky helmet.
Moving on.
The Consortium Naval Corps is not only trained in standard shipboard tasks but also recieve in-depth instruction in boarding combat. They are often called upon to augment ground forces. Officers are marked by gold epaulets and color highlights: Blue means Captain, Black means general staff.
Vice-Admiral Malam is Gaunt's second-in command, and a deadly fighter in her own right.
Admiral Gaunt is the supreme commander of the Consortium Navy. His tactical genius is legendary.
Consortium Naval Trooper (6 CP)
-Move: 5"
-Skill: 1d6
-Armor: 5 (1d8 or 1d6+1)
-Abilities:
--Pilot (+1 CP)
--Gunner (+1 CP): Gains +1d6 to attack rolls using non-held weapons.
--MK I IRHC Body Armor (+1 CP): Impact-Reducing HoneyComb armor is the latest of its kind, incorporating layers of force-reducing micro-hex components that provide superior lightweight protection. The MK I variant grants a +1 armor bonus, with no penalty to move.

-Boarding Cutlass (2 CP)
--Use: 2
--Range: CC
--Damage: 1d6

--Range: 6"
--Damage: 1d6
--Notes: None
-MD "Shunter" Grenade (3 CP)
--Use: 3
--Range: n/a
--Damage: 1d10 exp*
--Notes: Range 1d6+2" if thrown. *The "Shunter" Grenade produces a Matter Displacement effect at its point of detonation. This results in an non-combustive explosion with a radius of 2". Everything within that three inches is violently forced outwards (thrown 2" outwards). If one part of a structure is caught within the blast radius, and that structure is too large for as much as half of it to fit within the blast radius, it merely takes 2d10 damage from the explosion (though if its armor roll fails and that portion of the structure is breached, all debris is propelled away from the explosion's epicentre). If any part of a structure less than 6" in size is caught within the blast radius, that structure may be flipped, thrown, spiral out of control, etc., regardless of armor roll. Common sense is a handy thing here. If an object cannot be force out of a blast radius save through a structure (say, a wall), make an opposed armor roll between the object and the structure to see if the object is crushed against the wall or smashes straight through it.
-Precision Impact Rifle (7 CP)
--Use: 4

--Use: 3
--Range: 6"

--Notes: Any minifig within 1" of this weapon's target must make a skill roll against the attacker's skill roll. Every minifig that does so and fails to beat the attacker's roll takes 1d6-1 damage.
-ConTech ACP Assault Rifle (6 CP)
--Use: 3
--Range: 10"
--Damage: 1d6+1
--Notes: Instead of firing a single shot in the usual manner, the user of this weapon my choose to fire off two shots in one turn. Both shots may be aimed at the same or adjacent targets.

Olympian-Class Troopers are the result of heavy experimentation with genetic restructuring technology (a new field for the Consortium) and captured Legavanian armor designs.
Consortium Experimental Olympian Trooper (14 CP)

Consortium Scouts are trained in missions of sabotage and general reconnoitering. Due to the delicate nature of sabotage, the survival rate is very low.
Consortium Scout (9 CP)
-Move: 7"
-Skill: 1d6+1
-Armor: 4 (1d6)
-Abilities:
--Scouting (+1 CP)
--Trailblazing (+1 CP)
--Sabotage (+1 CP): When next to an opponent's vehicle or structure, the Consortium Scout may use his action to attempt to sabotage said construction. When doing so, roll 1d6. On a roll of 1, the Scout electrocutes himself, falls underneath the wheels, or something similar and dies messily without damaging the construction. On a roll of 2 the Scout miscalculates and is either electrocuted again or somehow manages to hit himself with a blunt tool, and is stunned for the next round. On a roll of 3, nothing happens. On a roll of 4, the Scout is moderately successful, and the construction loses 2" of move or 1d6 armor (his commander chooses, keeping some common sense). On a roll of 5, the construction's move is reduced to 1", or its armor is reduced to 1d6 (again the commander's choice). On a roll of 6, the Scout triggers a nuclear meltdown (for reasons unknown, this occurs even when sabotaging a low-tech construction, such as a dung cart) that destroys both the construction and the Scout and deals 3d10 exp. damage to everything within 3".
Equipment:
-ConTech SpecOps Stiletto (4 CP)
--Use: 2
--Range: CC (1d6" if thrown)
--Damage: 1d6+1

--Use: 3
--Range: 6"
--Damage: 1d6
--Notes: Instead of firing a single shot in the usual manner, the user of this weapon my choose to fire off three shots in one turn. All shots must target the same or adjacent targets, and this weapon's Use rating for that turn is increased by 1.
-Jump Pack (5 CP)
--Notes: Grants +5" of move and changes the wearer's move type to Flying (the wearer must have landed on a solid surface by moves end, or he suffers falling damage).
Inspired by the 10th Mountain Division and Finnish ski troops, Consortium PowerSki Troopers are a highly mobile force, dealing death atop two slats of teknology.
Consortium PowerSki Trooper (6 CP)

--Notes: None
The ShadowGuard is comprised of the best of the best, weathered Consortium veterans who are truly masters of their art. Among these, the most fearsome is Chief Gaul, the Consortium's hero, a peerless warrior who answers only to the Overlords themselves.
These guys were a lot of fun to make. This was my first time using Blu-Tack, and the Power Mace one of the Elites is holding isn't actually from any block company. It's a piece of something that I just found lying around one day. It fit a minifig's hand, and there we are.
Shadow-Guard Elites (20 CP)
-Move: 6"
-Skill: 2d6
-Armor: 10 (3d6)
-Abilities:
--Unfazeable (+1 CP): The Shadow Guard cannot be stunned, even by something as serious as an amputated limb, but simply keeps going until he dies of blood loss or until the battle is won and bits of his enemies lie scattered across the battleground.
--ConTech Bastion Armor (5 CP): While IRHC armor is the most advanced body armor currently in Consortium production, Bastion armor remains by far the most potent. Built from a surprisingly light alloy--the components of which are a carefully guarded secret--Bastion Armor grants a +6 armor bonus, with -1 to move.
--Conditioned Veteran (4 CP): Shadow-Guard Elites are weathered soldiers who maintain themselves in peak physical condition, gaining +2" to move and +1d6 to Skill.
Equipment:

-Move: 7"
-Skill: 2d10
-Armor: 10 (3d6)
-Abilities:
--Unfazeable (+1 CP): The Shadow Guard cannot be stunned, even by something as serious as an amputated limb, but simply keeps going until he dies of blood loss or until the battle is won and bits of his enemies lie scattered across the battleground.
--ConTech Bastion Armor (+5 CP): While IRHC armor is the most advanced body armor currently in Consortium production, Bastion armor remains by far the most potent. Built from a surprisingly light alloy--the components of which are a carefully guarded secret--Bastion Armor grants a +6 armor bonus, with -1 to move.
--Heroic Ego (+3 CP): This character is a hero with the "Beserker" cliche (dual-wielding heavy weapons, rampaging through formidable obstacles, fighting on despite mortal wounds, etc).
--Manly Strength (+1 CP): This character suffers no movement penalty for heavy equipment, and can hold two-handed weapons in one hand.
Equipment:

--Use: 6
--Range: CC
--Damage: 2d10
--Notes: -1" to move. Doubles as a shield. Unbreakable (except by OT).
Hammerhead Assault Bombers are airborne harbingers of destruction. I build all of my vehicles before I even consider what their stats or playability will be, with the result that I wound up way over the weapons limit on some. So I just decided to invent ways to get around that particular rule, hence the Enhanced Payload ability.
The Hammerhead is a short-range bomber (relatively) with no hyperdrive, and so is generally transported by a Conqueror Dropship.
Hammerhead Assault Bomber (160 CP)
-Size: 10"
-Armor: 2d10
-Base Cost: 20 CP
-Move (Flying): 18" (Propulsion Cost: 36)

--Size: 1"
--Use: 3
--Range: 12"
--Damage: 1d6
--Notes: May be fired up to four times in a single round, aimed at targets along the Hammerhead's path of travel.
-Matter Displacement Cannon (x2, 18 CP)
--Size: 2"
--Use: 6
--Range: 18"
--Damage: 1d10 exp
--Notes: An MDC shell causes a Matter Displacement effect at its point of impact with the target. This results in an non-combustive explosion with a radius of 3". Everything within that three inches is violently forced outwards (thrown 2" outwards). If one part of a structure is caught within the blast radius, and that structure is too large for as much as half of it to fit within the blast radius, it merely takes 2d10 damage from the explosion (though if its armor roll fails and that portion of the structure is breached, all debris is propelled away from the explosion's epicentre). If any part of a structure less than 6" in size is caught within the blast radius, that structure may be flipped, thrown, spiral out of control, etc., regardless of armor roll. Common sense is a handy thing here. If an object cannot be force out of a blast radius save through a structure (say, a wall), make an opposed armor roll between the object and the structure to see if the object is crushed against the wall or smashes straight through it.
-'Shunter' Missiles (x2, 14 CP)
--Size: 1"
--Use: 4
--Range: 18"
--Damage: 2d10 Exp
--Notes: A 'Shunter' Missile causes a Matter Displacement effect at its point of impact with the target. This results in an non-combustive explosion with a radius of 3". Everything within that three inches is violently forced outwards (thrown 2" outwards). If one part of a structure is caught within the blast radius, and that structure is too large for as much as half of it to fit within the blast radius, it merely takes 2d10 damage from the explosion (though if its armor roll fails and that portion of the structure is breached, all debris is propelled away from the explosion's epicentre). If any part of a structure less than 6" in size is caught within the blast radius, that structure may be flipped, thrown, spiral out of control, etc., regardless of armor roll. Common sense is a handy thing here. If an object cannot be force out of a blast radius save through a structure (say, a wall), make an opposed armor roll between the object and the structure to see if the object is crushed against the wall or smashes straight through it.

--Size: 1"
--Use: 3
--Range: 12"
--Damage: 1d6
--Notes: May be fired twice in a single round, aimed at targets along the Hammerhead's path of travel. These guns are link-fired, and so must be simultaneously fired (at the cost of one Action) at the same target(s).
-Incandescor Charge (2 CP)
--Size: 2"
--Use: 6
--Range: dropped
--Damage: 2d10 exp
--Notes: None

(Interior weapons are purchased separately.)
My second reaction, of course, was to comply with the pervading trend, bringing about the Consortium Heavy-Support Tank.
(Note: The blue woman doesn't normally drive. That was just for my sake, to get a feel for the interior size during construction. All in all, the tank can accomodate somewhere around 8-10 figs, give or take, plus the gunner and the driver.)
Consortium Heavy Support Tank (77 CP)
-Size: 7"

And that, plus my earlier thread, rounds off the Consortium forces at present.
At present, the Consortium is satisfying its boredom in the current recession (contracts just aren't coming in like they used to) with a good old-fashioned conquest, flattening the Legavan Imperium. That particular task is all but finished, and now we have once again begun to seek clients.
The Consortium. Handing you yours.
Anyhoo, these are the Consortium forces I have in my college dorm. All of them have stats. Incidentally, ignore the stats I've posted for the Consortium's other two vehicles, for the time being; they're not really done. Or even legal, though that's a fairly minor consideration.
Bah, I'm off on another tangent. Without further ado, the Consortium is back!
Consortium Shock Troopers are trained in both ranged and melee combat, for a versatile, efficient assault force. Units generally contain a blend of weaponry, with at least one Heavy Shock Trooper for heavy support.
Consortium Shock Trooper (8 CP)

-Skill: 1d6+1
-Armor: 6 (1d10)
-Abilities:

Some of you may have noticed some discrepancy in the above pics. That's due to some of the aforementioned tweaking, mostly of this guy:
He's not a heavy, btw. The Heavy Shock Trooper has the spiky helmet.
Moving on.
The Consortium Naval Corps is not only trained in standard shipboard tasks but also recieve in-depth instruction in boarding combat. They are often called upon to augment ground forces. Officers are marked by gold epaulets and color highlights: Blue means Captain, Black means general staff.
Vice-Admiral Malam is Gaunt's second-in command, and a deadly fighter in her own right.
Admiral Gaunt is the supreme commander of the Consortium Navy. His tactical genius is legendary.
Consortium Naval Trooper (6 CP)

-MD "Shunter" Grenade (3 CP)
--Use: 3
--Range: n/a
--Damage: 1d10 exp*
--Notes: Range 1d6+2" if thrown. *The "Shunter" Grenade produces a Matter Displacement effect at its point of detonation. This results in an non-combustive explosion with a radius of 2". Everything within that three inches is violently forced outwards (thrown 2" outwards). If one part of a structure is caught within the blast radius, and that structure is too large for as much as half of it to fit within the blast radius, it merely takes 2d10 damage from the explosion (though if its armor roll fails and that portion of the structure is breached, all debris is propelled away from the explosion's epicentre). If any part of a structure less than 6" in size is caught within the blast radius, that structure may be flipped, thrown, spiral out of control, etc., regardless of armor roll. Common sense is a handy thing here. If an object cannot be force out of a blast radius save through a structure (say, a wall), make an opposed armor roll between the object and the structure to see if the object is crushed against the wall or smashes straight through it.

Consortium Scouts are trained in missions of sabotage and general reconnoitering. Due to the delicate nature of sabotage, the survival rate is very low.
Consortium Scout (9 CP)
-Move: 7"
-Skill: 1d6+1
-Armor: 4 (1d6)
-Abilities:
--Scouting (+1 CP)
--Trailblazing (+1 CP)
--Sabotage (+1 CP): When next to an opponent's vehicle or structure, the Consortium Scout may use his action to attempt to sabotage said construction. When doing so, roll 1d6. On a roll of 1, the Scout electrocutes himself, falls underneath the wheels, or something similar and dies messily without damaging the construction. On a roll of 2 the Scout miscalculates and is either electrocuted again or somehow manages to hit himself with a blunt tool, and is stunned for the next round. On a roll of 3, nothing happens. On a roll of 4, the Scout is moderately successful, and the construction loses 2" of move or 1d6 armor (his commander chooses, keeping some common sense). On a roll of 5, the construction's move is reduced to 1", or its armor is reduced to 1d6 (again the commander's choice). On a roll of 6, the Scout triggers a nuclear meltdown (for reasons unknown, this occurs even when sabotaging a low-tech construction, such as a dung cart) that destroys both the construction and the Scout and deals 3d10 exp. damage to everything within 3".
Equipment:
-ConTech SpecOps Stiletto (4 CP)
--Use: 2

The ShadowGuard is comprised of the best of the best, weathered Consortium veterans who are truly masters of their art. Among these, the most fearsome is Chief Gaul, the Consortium's hero, a peerless warrior who answers only to the Overlords themselves.
These guys were a lot of fun to make. This was my first time using Blu-Tack, and the Power Mace one of the Elites is holding isn't actually from any block company. It's a piece of something that I just found lying around one day. It fit a minifig's hand, and there we are.
Shadow-Guard Elites (20 CP)
-Move: 6"
-Skill: 2d6
-Armor: 10 (3d6)
-Abilities:
--Unfazeable (+1 CP): The Shadow Guard cannot be stunned, even by something as serious as an amputated limb, but simply keeps going until he dies of blood loss or until the battle is won and bits of his enemies lie scattered across the battleground.
--ConTech Bastion Armor (5 CP): While IRHC armor is the most advanced body armor currently in Consortium production, Bastion armor remains by far the most potent. Built from a surprisingly light alloy--the components of which are a carefully guarded secret--Bastion Armor grants a +6 armor bonus, with -1 to move.
--Conditioned Veteran (4 CP): Shadow-Guard Elites are weathered soldiers who maintain themselves in peak physical condition, gaining +2" to move and +1d6 to Skill.
Equipment:

Built from a surprisingly light alloy--the components of which are a carefully guarded secret--Bastion Armor grants a +6 armor bonus, with -1 to move.

Hammerhead Assault Bombers are airborne harbingers of destruction. I build all of my vehicles before I even consider what their stats or playability will be, with the result that I wound up way over the weapons limit on some. So I just decided to invent ways to get around that particular rule, hence the Enhanced Payload ability.
The Hammerhead is a short-range bomber (relatively) with no hyperdrive, and so is generally transported by a Conqueror Dropship.
Hammerhead Assault Bomber (160 CP)
-Size: 10"

-Matter Displacement Cannon (x2, 18 CP)
--Size: 2"
--Use: 6
--Range: 18"
--Damage: 1d10 exp
--Notes: An MDC shell causes a Matter Displacement effect at its point of impact with the target. This results in an non-combustive explosion with a radius of 3". Everything within that three inches is violently forced outwards (thrown 2" outwards). If one part of a structure is caught within the blast radius, and that structure is too large for as much as half of it to fit within the blast radius, it merely takes 2d10 damage from the explosion (though if its armor roll fails and that portion of the structure is breached, all debris is propelled away from the explosion's epicentre). If any part of a structure less than 6" in size is caught within the blast radius, that structure may be flipped, thrown, spiral out of control, etc., regardless of armor roll. Common sense is a handy thing here. If an object cannot be force out of a blast radius save through a structure (say, a wall), make an opposed armor roll between the object and the structure to see if the object is crushed against the wall or smashes straight through it.
-'Shunter' Missiles (x2, 14 CP)

My first reaction to the super-tank fad was to build an anti-tank unit. The Annihilator AASPA here is the result of that reflex.

My second reaction, of course, was to comply with the pervading trend, bringing about the Consortium Heavy-Support Tank.
(Note: The blue woman doesn't normally drive. That was just for my sake, to get a feel for the interior size during construction. All in all, the tank can accomodate somewhere around 8-10 figs, give or take, plus the gunner and the driver.)

The Nemesis Hardsuit. It's pretty much self-explanatory. It's worth noting that the RPG rack on his shoulder can be clipped to the Hammerhead's nose to replace a twin blaster-cannon mount.

And that, plus my earlier thread, rounds off the Consortium forces at present.
At present, the Consortium is satisfying its boredom in the current recession (contracts just aren't coming in like they used to) with a good old-fashioned conquest, flattening the Legavan Imperium. That particular task is all but finished, and now we have once again begun to seek clients.
The Consortium. Handing you yours.
