Earth Defence forces - Sci-fi fun

Well here I go off on another crazy idea but one that is perhaps not as crazy as others. Basically it's a consequence of Dr Who and we can all blame him for the idea. Basically I wish to create some Oronegrean based Global defence force. Second (or third) only in skill to the Black Angels in the Oronegrean Armed Forces - Fuerzas Armardas de la republica de Oronegro (FARO). Admitidly this is not such a big deal as the Black Angels (Los Angeles Negros) are one of the best military units of the human race, their exact position in the top 10 is unknown (like most of the other contenders).
These figures from Elhiem fit the bill. although they look a bit like Storm troopers.


Naturally I'll need some guys well creatures, mutants, robots and cyborgs to invade but as those plans are already in my head I need not go over them again.

BUT WHY ALL THIS SILLYNESS

War is hell and if Oronegro is the child of my imagination then I am putting my child through hell... I am a terrible parent
Well the real Oronegro story is quite depresssing. a story on a powerful nation ripped appart in which civilians took up arms against a democratic but quite uncaring government (and in many areas corrupt) the conflict which engulfed Oronegro was explotied and worsened by the global superpowers which were also at war! the story allows for many possibilities and I can make up lots of stuff but if I only go down the route of civil war and serious conflict (for my moderns) I don't think that I can have some really fun scenarios. sure I can have fun but none of the scenario's can be completely ridicculous and light hearted. I have been criticised for having a civil war, which is why the Soviets and the US (and any other self respecting power) is involved in an attempt to move away from the nastyness that comes with all civil wars.

if this is you call FARO... or just accept your fate. which ever is easier.
but these science fiction plans allow me to add a bit of sillyness and fun to the doom and gloom. zombies getting blown up left right and centre by a cyborg sheriff (another idea from the Dr Who episode -"a town called Mercy") Now this does not mean I intend to make Oronegro into a totally unrealistic place. the zombies, have their explanations, chemical weapons. the Advanced forces as well they pop up during the war and are repressed.

and as there are no pictures of Faro and a dalek here is the nect best thing... at least the dalek can feel safe while is raises money to help daleks avoid the doctor.
FARO is one of those groups that helps to repress these outbreaks, invations, uprisings etc. Anyway thats that. now its over to you guys for your comments and ideas

  1. I missed this posting earlier. Although zombies, werewolves, vampires, shapeshifters and other lurkers on the lunatic fringe aren't really my thing, I do recall a fun afternoon's play fighting my way through a town looking for an escape from being overrun by zombies eager to pick my brain... At that children's and Young adult post-apocalyptic literature is one of my favorite fantasy sub-genres. I really don't know why I don't wargame this sort of thing.

    Maybe it's simply to place some kind of limit to all the projects I have going. At any rate, I can imagine a sort of viral disease or toxic contamination that has the effect of making people very sick, but restless with a craving for the one thing that would afford them even only temporary relief: fresh and rich sources of iron. Pointless preying upon the similarly afflicted and therefore iron-deficient...

    The illness not impairing their intelligence (beyond being driven nuts from feeling at all times like two ton of old fish heads - Zonked Out of Mind and Body) they are still capable of collective action and are therefore a problem to the Authorities...

    Yeah, I can see that...
    Cheers,

    1. thanks Ion.

      the more I dream up the black angels the stronger they get.
      at least if I keep the zombies mindless horders the black angels won't get involved until the final clean up. the guys in this post are my specialist special forces. I will do a few more. marines, commandoes, rangers, etc.

      I think it's about time I focus more on the 'real' Oronegro instead of the sci-fi stuff. I have 2 more maps to show you all which show the balance of power early on in the wars.
