Warlord Games Konflikt 47 1:56 'Slammer' Samuels, The First Paragon - 452010406

The story of ‘Slammer’ Samuels’ ascent through the ranks of the US Army
and eventual evolution to become the first Paragon is known across the United States.
Enlisting the day after Pearl Harbor, Harris Samuels quickly established himself as a natural soldier and leader.
Having impressed his drill sergeants and coming to the notice of several influential officers, Samuels was fast-tracked to the fledgling 1st Ranger Battalion and was one of fifty specially selected Rangers dispersed amongst the British Commandos for the Dieppe Raid in August 1942.
In this action he became one of the first American soldiers to see ground combat in the European theatre.

Winning the Silver Star for single-handedly taking out a German Tiger Tank
in Tunisia, Samuels was later promoted to the rank of captain just prior to the D-Day invasion.
Badly wounded on Omaha beach he was transferred back to the USA for treatment, and presented with the opportunity to volunteer for a radical new treatment, one only made possible by the advent of the Los Alamos Rift, that would irrevocably alter his biology.
Being a true American of fine character, and recognising the potential of the program to shift the balance of power in favour of the United States
Harris readily accepted the risks and became the first subject of the new program.
Samuels would, following a long and arduous process, become the program’s first success
his physical transformation was to become a benchmark; a paragon of the potential of humanity.

He quickly adapted to the prototype Rift-tech weaponry provided to him, so much so that he was issued
with the first experimental heavy Tesla rifle which he insisted on field testing back on the European mainland.
In combat Samuels revels in close quarters fighting where he puts his signature weapon, the Tesla Gauntlet, to good use.
Combining a pneumatic punch with a Tesla discharge, the glove allows him to take down even armoured or inhuman opponents he faces.
