Quar Fidwog Command

 The Fidwog Command set adds the Cadier, the Quar's default pack animal to the range of figures available in plastic.

The diminutive Fidwog use them as mobile machine gun carriers, one quar guides the cadier, the other operates the M8-c MMG.

Quar Fidwog Specialists

 Wargames Atlantic have recently released a Specialists set for the Fraedarl Overseas Department (FOD).

The box contains two sprues.

Each sprue builds three Specialist FOD Rhyflers and three Miners

The Rhyflers can be Lancers, anti-tractor specialists that use thrown explosive lances to disable enemy tractors. In the close confines of the Karst country, this tactic works.

The Rhyflers can also be Marksquar, long range precision shots to eliminate officers and machine guns.

The miners, armed with shotgun and pickaxe are demolition, excavation and close combat specialists.

Miner with shotgun. I need to add his trusty pickaxe.

Of course the fearsome reputation of the miners was slightly soiled after one party dug their way under a Crusader camp and came up under a latrine.

Fidwog Crown Milwer

Previously I had shown the Fidwog box and assembled and painted the tractor. 
Now here is the first painted Fidwog Crown Milwer, with Sketych Rifle.

Citadel Chaos Black spray undercoat.

Citadel Khorne Red coat.

Citadel Macragge Blue facings.

Citadel Dryad Bark webbing and boots.

Vallejo Black Grey metal work (gun, helmet, belt buckle and magazine).

 

With Tractor support.

Size comparison with a Crusader Rhyfler.

Fidwog infantry are suitably smaller.

Fynrydhad Tractor

 So, the Fynrydhad Tractor is now painted (the driver is still to be painted).

The model was inverted and undercoated with Citadel Chaos Black.

It was then set right side up and sprayed with Army Painter Chaos Red.

This definitely appears to be a different colour to the acrylic paint.

The head lamp was painted wit Army Painter Stone Golem.

The track and the exhaust was painted with a mix of Vallejo Burnt Cadmium Red, Vallejo London Grey and Vallejo Black Grey.

The end of the exhaust was painted with a lighter shade by adding Army Painter Stone Golem.

The rail was painted with Vallejo Black Grey topped with Vallejo London Grey.

The track and exhaust were dry brushed with Citadel Ryza Rust. The exhaust was washed with Citadel Nuln Oil. The tracks were washed with Citdel Agrax Earthshade.

The turret can be traversed.

Quar Fidwogs

 The latest plastic release for This Quar's War is the diminutive Quar of Fidwog, together with two Fynrydhad light Tractors.

The box contains two identical sprues. Each sprue has six infantry and one Fynrydhad Tractor complete with the crewman (a half figure).

There are Skeytch semi automatic rifles and a Bensa Support Rifle.

The first assembled Fynrydhad tractor.

Moulding limitations are apparent on the rivets on the side plate, and there is a mould line  on the plate behid it.

Comparison with a real world tankette/carrier - the Carden-Loyd Carrier. This is the Empress model.

You can definitely see the inspiration.
