Champion even among the warrior orders, sworn to the reactionary houses
and bearing the great metal crest of their brotherhood,
the Bastion stands as if a great dike before the storming galactic sea.
The first discipline, the reactionary, reflects that familiar, armor-clad and heavily armed muscle of so many science-fiction and fantasy series. The Bastion is the bear, whose trappings often adorn those whose deeds become legend in the reactionary houses, patient and ponderous until need dictates, when adrenaline and sheer momentum carry it ever onwards.
I have no real experience playing wargames or roleplaying, so I'm trying to keep the theoretical game system very simple, the sort of thing my older brother and I could mess with on a slow afternoon without really worrying too much about rules. When we were kids, we used bottlecaps and a three sectioned box as a universal measure, but I think there will be an actual inch measure and some sort of dice, rather than a coin flip. That's all pretty far off, but the bonuses assigned to the Bastion will presumably be an extra wound or two and maybe an extra shot, or something to similarly define the model as the primary "shooter."
The progress shown here is just to show how character's appearance will branch. Acolytes of all disciplines will look very similar, and the two foci will be represented in different models, each with a second level of progress, this means that each discipline will see five, or six (with a second acolyte) models.
Let me know what you think.
