My 10mm Sci-Fi Projects

[Andrew Bruce]

As a young lad I grew up watching all of the sci-fi Programs of the late 70s and 80s, There are a few which particularly stuck in my mind Aliens, Starship Troopers and of course War of the Worlds.

So I thought I would combine all of these interest into one sci-fi Project to simplify matters.

I have been asking for help from the pendraken forum for names for my warring factions, also some transport options for Pendragon SF15x Colonist in space suit and SF16x Colonist in space suits with heavy weapons. For aerial support I’ve decided to use Eagle from space 1999.

So any suggestions would be more than welcome.

for anyone wishing to see more detail 10mm Sci-Fi Projects.

Take care

What sort of background do the factions have, is it a serious setting or a bit more space opera, are they official government forces, or national armies, or a merc unit?

I guess names would depend on the setting to quite a large degree.
John Nam’s Raiders may work for a merc unit, but not as a name of a regiment in a regular army?
The Crimson Legion Of Annihilation may work for less serious games but not for something meant to be a more ‘real’  ?

I’ve  come up with some factions names now

Nova Federation,  for the armoured marines
Earth Alliance for the colonists

Although I’m not certain I’m going to keep the colonists at the moment as I’m  struggling to find suitable transport

The search continues fingers crossed I find something

Take care

One of the Dropzone Commander packs wouldn’t break the bank, for a colonial transport.

Ok I think the Russian vehicles have been identified by a forum member over at militaryhistoryonline.com

2K12 “Kub” missile launcher (NATO codename “SA-6 Gainful”)

1S91 (NATO codename “Straight Flush”) radar system that supported 2K12 batteries

Search continues to find the 10mm equivalent
A 10mm chieftain tank has been found by a forum member over at leagueofaugsburg.com

MBV106 FV432 (Closed)

MBV108 FV434 REME

MBV110 FV438 Swingfire

Take care

Depending on exact sizing, Konomi dod a 4.5″ Eagle Transport (ebay) and there are some options on Shapeways, there are also 1/144th and 1/160th so close to 10mm Modern British vehicles like the Cougar and Jaguar and mastiff.

That’s exactly what I’m going to use the Konami Space 99  Transporter eagles  and the Hawk eagle

Excellent, I am saving pennies for the new Eagle Kit in 1/48th for my insanity (£80 or so, but I only need 3 of them).
