Chewke Attack!!

Report: 25739-656
Date Ref: 311.56/45 (ED 22/11/2311)
Unit Ref: Ind.Recc.Squad 2, 58th Infantry Special Forces Brigade, Federal 2nd Army Forsey.
Subject: Mid Sector Fyodor Water Mine 378 Defence

Reporting: Sgt. Artur Meade (Marksman 1st Class)
"On Nov 22 ED, Independant Recon Squad 2 were tasked with scouting the area around a Fyoder Industries water mine 49 clicks north of the temporary station midway on Highway 7. Reports of attacks on Fyoder facilities in this area by seperatist forces suggested that this would be the next target. The main 8 man patrol, led by 2LT Weihagan, left on patrol of the area leaving myself, Sgt Meade, in a covered position."

"I then contacted the group to say he was under attack from hostile forces. I must also report that the hostiles were not seperatists, or even one of the low tech local tribes, but small insectoid aliens of a previously unknown race."



"I defended my position for as long as possible then withdrew with a full report of the enemy forces composition and strength. The small creatures were well armed and had the support of various large insectoid creatures. The full data has been passed to Intel for analysis but confirmation of this enemies existence will reshape the military planning of this sector. (Deleted as opinion only). 

NOTE: One interesting image that Sgt. Meade supplied suggested that these small creatures were actually an advance force to a larger insectoid species. 

Fyoder Industries Construction Vehicles Pt2

I picked this bulldozer up from eBay. It's 1:109 scale, so perfect for 15mm. It's a good quality metal and hard plastic toy from Takara Tomy. They do a large range of modern construction vehicles that are perfect for this scale. I'll post more pics of this when it's re-painted and based...

Fyoder Industries Construction Vehicles

Back from holiday and I really need to get the blog updated. I've got some Oddzial Osmy Vistula Legion on order, I've got a great new 15mm APC from Antenociti's Workshop getting painted, and I need to get more Spugs painted so I can post them up.

I've also been wanting to make some construction vehicles for my scifi project - nothing hi-tech, just some diggers/earth movers - but I really didn't want to steal my little boys toy cars. So it was lucky when I was in the local Poundland discount store that we saw a set of really cheap construction toys for £1. They weer of particularly poor quality but I thought that this little digger would maybe have som potential. Purchase made, I cam home, undercoated it black, and got painting. It was great fun and I think it came out really nicely. It's slightly big for 15mm but that's okay as I can justify it as being "scifi big". I need to work on a driver, or I could just use this as a terrain piece. The mini-mule is from Ground Zero.

Fyoder Mechanoid Defence Group

Fyoder Industries has supplimented their force of AD001 Security Droids with a new model of heavier combat droid. These Heavy Warbots, designated Wt11's and Wt12's by Fyoder Corporations Mech Division, were designed to suppliment Federal forces, but with increasing attacks on Fyoders facilities the Board decided to allocate the production models to the Security Division.

These Warbots are designated as TomCAT and WildCAT by the Federal Army and are supplied with multiple arm and weapon choices giving a large number of configurations. Fyoder currently has other weapons platforms in development.

A production line has also been set up to produce a middle weight droid to suppliment the Mechanoid Defence Groups.



The smaller droids are from The Scene, the larger are from Rebel Miniatures. I placed an order with Rebel ages ago but weeks later the order still hadn't been delivered. The guys were very helpful, resent my order, and there was a small package waiting on my return from holiday. The Scene also produce larger Battlebots, about 20mm tall, that'll I'll be getting at some point. It the meantime it's time to try and finish a group of figures from Khurasan - some little guys that make up for small size with large numbers.

Fyoder Water Mining Plant

Fyoder Industries hold water mining rights on Forsey - a highly lucrative contract due to the rarity of water as a commodity in the sector. Small processing plants are scattered over large areas of the planet, drawing water from both the atmosphere and the underground reserves that permeate the planet.

Fyoder's monopoly of the water production is a sore point with the general population of the planet, both native and human colonists, who feel agreived that they are forced to pay for a resource that should be rightfully theirs.

Recent attacks on Fyoder facilities has forced the corporation to station security forces at their plants, and as one of Fyoder's other major sections is Robotics most of these senties are cybernetic.

The Security Droids are programmed to defend the bases and have a tendancy to follow their orders to the extreme, making it dangerous to even approach Fyoder facilities. Droid patrols often come into conflict with the locals, causing growing tensions.

The water plant in made from some plastic from the bit's box. The figures are from The Scene (Security Bots), Ground Zero Games (The mini-mule) and worker droid is from the old Traveller range now sold by RAFM.
