In S.D.Z.A. there is plenty of choice and it’s not a case of you can ONLY take certain things in certain Factions – there are a lot of ‘mix and match’ possibilities. Good vs Evil are pretty much the only restrictions, and even then with mind controlling psychotropic drugs and electronic control collars - that line can get a little Fuzzy.

Humanity

At the end of the Day, the Earth is filled with people – normal folks just trying to do their job, or even survive. These are the regular “Human” Factions that n the base game.

Regular Folk – Not So Regular.

A lot of people spend most of their lives within the City States, the surviving Communities during the Year of Chaos walled themselves off – only rarely trading with other City States. Corruption became rife in a lot of these cut off communities – they rarely let in new blood, and almost Gladiatorial Games became norm as entertainment – Shanty Dwellers (those who live in shacks and old trailers just outside the city walls) would fight for the right of Citizenship, but even those who won rarely survived their wounds to join the elite. Even when they did, life inside the safety of the Walls was rarely what they expected.

Self Sufficiency and Recycling became the key to survival both inside and out of the Walled Cities – food gets recycled as fertilizer or feed for livestock, bodily waste from both humans and animals gets turned into fuel. Nothing is wasted.

All these factors go to make for tough and hardy stock (not to mention they are cunning) and these “types” form the Core of the Human Faction. Rednecks, Shanty Dwellers, City Security, Wasteland Warriors – all are possible within the S.D.Z.A. Rules and Setting.



The Rangers have what is considered to be one of the Toughest jobs on the planet, these brave Men and Women regularly risk their lives for Civilians and Military alike - if there's a Dinosaur, Wildlife, or Territory problem, they are the ones called in to sort it. The Ranger Movement (or D-Ranger/Dinosaur Ranger depending upon your preference) grew from the Staff at the first Dino-Parks - originally their membership comprised of the regular Staff, Veterinarians, Paleontologists, Experienced Zoo Keepers, and Animal Behavior experts hired to work at and maintain the Dino-Parks – during the Year of Chaos when the Dinosaurs escaped the Dino-Parks, and  started roaming wild and free - the remaining governments of the world hired most  of the original Rangers to help monitor, control, and even capture escaped and wild Dinosaurs in an attempt to control the situation - though their modern Duties and responsibilities are greater today – acting as border guards and peacekeepers,  Rangers often Deal with Carrion Outbreaks and Criminal Problems outside a City States walls as well.

Cops and Government Types - Special Agents, the Military and Private Security – then there are the “Super Troopers” (as the general Population call them) the super-elite A.S.P. Troopers of N.A.T.O. With the increased need for Military Aid during (and after) the Year of Chaos – N.A.T.O.s mandate became more that of a World Military Police Force, than just a European Peace Keeping force.

The Rebels - those that fight against corrupt City State Governments and Corporations like Uni-Tech. This mixed bag of Civilians, Mercenaries, and ex-Military – believe the Corporations (especially Uni-Tech) are at the center of all the worlds troubles, and unlike the World Government and the local Governments of the City States who debate endlessly about the world and its problems. The Rebels take Direct Action, often violently. Hero’s to some, criminals to others – its a fact that the Rebels are a force to be reckoned with.

In addition, Human Factions can get "Big Guy" Backup from Sentry's (huge self-aware machines – originally created by Varian Blackwood), and M.A.T.A.T.s (Mobile All Terrain Armoured Transports) the Armour of choice for the A.S.P. Troopers.

  • Sat at my Mac, lusting after lead…
 :D I giddily took receipt of the following Nexus goodness today -

• Uni-Tech Security Officer 01 (Cap and Pistol)
• Uni-Tech Security Trooper 01 (Helmet, Visor Down and Rifle)
• Uni-Tech Security Heads Set 01 (Bare Head and Elite Trooper Helmet)
• Revolutionary/Merc 01 ("Porky" Ironsides, armed with UZI)
• Revolutionary/Merc 02 ("Do Gooder" Marcus, armed with Uni-Tech Blaster Pistol, and separate Camera)
• D-Ranger 01 (Codename Helios)
• D-Ranger 02 (Codename Galicia)
• D-Ranger 03 (Codename Joey)
• D-Ranger Helmet Sprue

They are all absolutely superb sculpts, nice and hefty with bags of character, and they have triggered all manner of game ideas in my meagre brain. The only problem I have is which to paint up first - most probably the Uni-Tech security guards… and I'm going to need SH*T LOADS!  :o lol

Kudos to Nexus for scratching that 80s SF itch so damned well! A fantastic range and highly recommended. Thanks VH!

Say nice things, and you shall be rewarded :D

Unfortunately, I am utterly terrible at taking pictures of Miniatures (in spite of a light box and a new camera) - I will update these as soon as I can. The Sentry is here! Sculpted by Dave Stone​ of Wargames Terrain Workshop (who also did the casting for me), the Mark I Sentry Unit is 87mm tall and comes with two right hands/forearms - a regular hand with a Blaster-Disc in the Palm, and a Sub-Sonic Blaster Cannon. Standing 87mm tall, cast in resin. Buy yours for just £14.99! Supplied with a 50mm DS plastic base as standard.





Also, to celebrate the release of the Sentry (Nexus' biggest miniature so far) we have the following deal for Easter!
