I got into miniature painting with Reaper Miniatures for and now that I am skirmish/wargames addict I was wondering if there are any generic rule sets, I could use. Thank you in advance.

This could be a stupid question but how do Spartans get their armor? Like, I know it is given to them by the UNSC, but how do they get different helmet and armor types like Air Assault, CQC, and Commando (using Reach stuff as an example)

Do they get assigned, say, CQC if they show favor for close combat, or do they pick what armor they want to wear?

It would start with Carter speaking with a tribe somewhere either in Africa or South America about an archaeological expedition to retrieve some artifacts deep in the wilderness that he was tasked with retrieving and bringing to a museum curator, who was a part of the tribe he is helping, in the city. But before he leaves, the Monocle arrives with a band of mercenaries trying to take the artifacts and land of the tribe so he can mine diamonds that lay below the land, enslaving the tribe to do so. The Monocle gives them about 3 days to leave the land before his men start to remove the people, not enough time, and the tribe does not want to leave.

Carter sees that the Monocle has brought a lot of firepower, to much for him to handle alone, so Carter, as Hawkman, goes to the Justice League to recruit help in this cause. When he arrives, he would be treated with suspicion, partially because he is a hero not on the League, and not many people have heard of Hawkman.

This would continue until Ted Grant, Wildcat, greets Carter and points out that he and Hawkman were teammates in the JSA before the team fell apart, and Carter's wife, Shierra Hall, was murdered. Shayera would ask about how Carter got nthmetal, and he would explain that he discovered it with his wife in a crashed Thanagarian ship in Egypt many, many years ago (Hinting at the reincarnation curse but not outright spoken; Shayera is not part of the curse because she wasn't at the time of the show)

The final fight happens with Wildcat, Doctor Fate, and Hawkman going to stop the Monocle, who was not expecting the League to know or care about the situation. It would end with Carter retrieving the artifacts that The Monocle stole and returning them to the museum and its tribe.

In the last part, Wildcat would try to get Carter to join the League, pitching to him the idea that the League could use someone who is so connected to so many peoples and who fights for something that, if lost, could never be returned: culture and history.

Me and a lot of other Hawkman fans and I really dislike how they did our GOAT; maybe this could have been one of the money ways they could have done it better. What do you all think?

I am really sick of Shayera and Carter being forced apart post-Vinditti run. I am also really sick of every time Kendra and Shay meet they fight each other. It happened in the Geoff Johns run when they first met, it happened in that recent Mystery of the Hawkworld comic- they were nearly at each others throats the whole time and then there was the recent JLU (no, not the show, the comic run) that made Kendra fight an evil alternate-reality version of Shayera. I have no idea why they do this.

We need a story that has Carter, Kendra, and Shayera doing something together as a whole team; maybe bring back villains like Queen Shrike, Onimar Synn, Lion Mane, Headhunter, people like that. I am tired of the Hawks being separated.

Don't get me wrong, I want more Hawkman in the future, this character has loads of stories in him that can be told, that should be told, he is my favorite comic book character of all time. But after reading through Hawk's Eternal again, I would not be mad if this is where Carter and Shay's story ended.

The ending shows the years of struggle and agony that Hawkman has suffered through to try and find redemption, conquering his fear of death, finally finding his soulmate again, and ultimately breaking the curse that has brought him an infinite amount of torment.

Then, seeing Carter and Shay in the Legion Era, finally allowed to grow old together with no worries of losing each other, having to find each other, no more Hath-set hunting them down. Finally, they have peace.

I honestly could not think of a better way to end the story of Hawkman.

So, between Northwind, Hector, and Golden Eagle, which would you want to return as a sidekick for Hawkman? I was thinking Golden Eagle, but he's more tied to Katar than to Carter, who is the current Hawk, because he is the son of Fel Andar. Hector would be interesting, but he never really was a sidekick to the Hawks unless they tried something new with him. Northwind would be my pick because he is linked to Carter; he did work with Carter, and reintroducing the Featherians could help to expand Carter's mythos again.
