Pretty sure you have to apply Incarnate Construct last, since it's applied and not inherited like the others. That likely blocks using Primordial Giant.

I could be wrong, of course.
Shh. My common sense is tingling. . .

you might be right actually.  also, half minotaur would have to be added before incarnnate construct in order to be large size and become a giant.

So looking at all of these templates and such I thought this might be the most appropriate place to ask such a question.

Which pairings of templates best match the Super-Solider serum?

I've thought about Saint & Spell-warped.

Thoughts?

Depends, on what you want your Super-Soldier to do.
Captain America(incredibly resistant to damage) might go with Mineral Warrior
Wolverine(healing factor) practically screams Feral

I'd combine these 2 with some Monster Feats(Improve Fast Healing and Natural Attacks, too lazy to look up the actual feats :p)

read OP or discussion. Its been mentioned.

I should mention that even though I think it should be LA+1, with bad rolls / selections its fair at LA+0

Where can I find the Unseelie Fey template?  What are its stats?
Hood - My first answer to all your build questions; past, present, and future.

Speaking of which:
Don't even need TO for this.  Any decent Hood build, especially one with Celerity, one-rounds [Azathoth, the most powerful greater deity from d20 Cthulu].
Does it bug anyone else that we've reached the point where characters who can obliterate a greater deity in one round are considered "decent?"

It's in Dragon compendium.  It's pretty complicated.

Is this still a WIP? If so, and since I apparently had nothing better to do of my spare time, I skimmed a bit around the old CO board and I stumbled upon a thread I thought might be useful for this thread.

Tauric, lycanthropy (plus vermin version), and symbiotic templates should be Tier 0 because on the shenanigans you can pull w them

They ALL allow you to bypass other template's LAs or lack of LA. Symbiotic even bypasses race LAs!

It's free pass to Warshaper and gives a very relevant DR 10/Silver. It's also a solid substitute for Mineral Warrior, since it doesn't give any ability penalty (And also won't loose any Flying ability).

Yeah, basically you can get DR with a number that actually matters, and a type that won't be autobypassed by everything you meet once you level a bit.  Warshaper is also a goodie,  I guess you're also immune to baleful polymorph, but that's pretty niche.
