The PLA (Vehicle update PART 3)

Post by Cracjaw » Tue Feb 25, 2020 5:48 pm

The PLA is an older faction, created about a decade ago. The first time I personally saw them, was Zombie Zulu Dawn. It was an epic battle, you should look it up if you haven't already. I have come up with some more backstory for the PLA since Ragnablok.

After Ragnablok, the Brikverse was destroyed, the PLA along with it. They were already hurting after the many casualties that had been inflicted on them in the past few years. A man named Gjen Morda discovered an ancient skroll after the Konvergence. He found out about the PLA and has attempted to bring them back. Hiring/Taking many recruits for his slowly growing army.

(I am currently trying to develop some Kanon for the PLA, they kind of petered out a while back. But since I have so many stormtroopers, why not right? I am also trying to get enough parts to complete a full army of kustom 'figs. Not a bunch of stormtroopers.) I have a projekt I am working on right now, I cannot reveal details yet, but once finished, it will be a mighty addition to the PLA.

Image
Image

The main Grunts of the PLA, The Stormers are a powerful main body. The difference in the armor is just soldier preference.

Image

Another type of Stormer. These soldiers are from the personal battalion of Gjen Morda, a powerful Guardian that wields the Farce.

Image

A Black trooper is very rare to see on a battlefield, they mostly aid the Guardians, but have been known to move on their own.

Image

PLA Flametroopers are fast moving, heavy hitting soldiers. (Fire damage, 10" range)

Image

The Jet troopers can fly over the battlefield and take out enemies from high above. (Weeeeeeeeeeeee)

Image
Image

The Heavies carry massive weapons that can either fire fast, or deal massive amounts of damage.

Image

The Snipers are powerful soldiers, trained for years to be able to shoot bad guys from zillions of inches away.

Image

The Scouts are trained in dark ops.

Image

Here we have a couple Officers, ready to take their squads to victory!

Image

A powerful leader, with his inspirational Geetaur on his back.

Image

Here are two Shadow Heavies, they carry extremely powerful weapons, and have dark armor, which means they blend into the shadows... (1D8 skill, sometimes they have armor)

Image

A Pilot and a Gunner respectively.

Image

A Heavy Specialist, these soldiers a rare to see. (1D8 skill)

Image

The Guardian, a most excellent warrior. (1D8 skill, and he's got a freakin' lightsabre :warhead: )

Image

Finally, my best soldiers, the Rioteers. They are my favorites. They are really powerful and almost unstoppable. (1D8 skill, gun has two fire modes. first is a normal long ranged gun, second is a powerful blast the deals 2D6 damage, but can only be fired three times)

Image

Image

Image

The Wasp is a fast moving fighter with strong propulsion and amazing laser cannons. It is commonly seen in large engagments and as an escort for smaller, more important ships.

Image

Image

Image

This is the PLA Atmospheric fighter, it is lightly armored and only has moderate combat capabilities.

Image

Here is the size comparison.

I will most likely be adding more soldiers and stuff to the PLA, right now I have two vehicles finished with two more on the way. Please let me know what you think.

Here are some more PLA vehicles

Image
Image
Image

This is a PLA Medikal boat. These things are heavily armored, but have no weapons. They can carry exactly one dead/wounded guy on it. Although I don't know why they would remove a wounded soldier, as they can still fight, as long as they have a head.

Image
Image

And my personal favorite, the PLA light speeder. This thing took me one hour to build (Or find all the pieces). The vehicle designer for the PLA once said, and I quote, 'All I want, is fast hover things, with freakin' laser beams attached to 'em.' He got his wish

(One more vehicle to come, it is the coolest)

The descriptions are mostly boasts about their in-game abilities, but that's cool either way. I'll be honest, the medikal brick boat appeals to me a lot. The light speeder is pretty awesome in its own right (I think I have an old SW speeder like that in a bag somewhere), but there's something morbidly fun about what's basically a moving coffin (or a reinforced funeral car).

I never thought of it as a reinforced coffin. What a wonderful idea!! Now that I think of it, t kind of does like a Hearse. (I grew up in a funeral home, so I know what they look like :D )

HEARSE, that's what they were called in English. But yeah, if they prefer to carry the dead over the wounded...
(*softly hums "You're In The Army Now"*)
...then they're definitely fancy army hearses.

I didn't actually know how they were spelled, I had to look it up. I love Siri.

I really like the vehicles, they're all very nice and sleek.

Also, you grew up in a funeral home? That's really interesting, can you tell me what that was like unless it's too personal?

It was kind of fun, I got to tell everyone I grew up with dead people. The best is that I am one of the few people who can actually say that they've tripped over a dead body.

Don't you just hate it when that happens?
