In this paper, we propose so-called fattened complex manifolds as targetspaces for the topological B-model. We naturally obtain these manifolds byrestricting the structure sheaf of the N=4 supertwistor space, a process, whichcan be understood as a fermionic dimensional reduction. Using the twistorialdescription of these fattened complex manifolds, we construct Penrose-Wardtransforms between solutions to the holomorphic Chern-Simons equations on thesespaces and bosonic subsectors of solutions to the N=4 self-dual Yang-Millsequations on C^4 or R^4. Furthermore, we comment on Yau's theorem for thesespaces.Comment: 29+1 pages, some typos fixe
