I am the Law

For a bit of a change I decided to run a Judge Dredd game at the club. THe rules from Warlord games are not to my taste so I had a go at adapting Galactic Heroes from the Fistful of Lead stable. Most of the club are familiar with the rules so should help keep it flowing. I had also ordered a new mat from Tiny Wargames which happened to arrive just in time for the game.

I went for a simple scenario. The former Judge Grice was hiding out with a local gang while a Judge and Rookie partner moved to arrest him. There were also 2 extra Judges on Lawmaster that would arrive when a Joker was played. As a test it seemed to flow well, need to make a few ammendements to the abilties of the Judges and Lawmaster in readiness of next weeks game.

I think next week I will also introduce some of the equipment cards from the boxed game, especially some of the special ammo that the Judges can use. I'm also pretty certain I have a few more figures for this game that also need painting up.

Judge Dredd additions

In between my FPW project and my new project, I still had time to complete 2 more judges. First up is Psi Judge Anderson and her Lawmaster. A pretty straightforward figure to paint.

The second addition is the SJS Judge Gerhart. This guy was fun to paint, with a pretty simple paint job. His lawmaster is much different to that of the other Judges. Love the skull motif on the front.

I've now got some muties to complete and 2 more MDF buildings to round out the collection.

Judge Grice and friends

Judge Grice is the last figure from the Arch Villains set. Already noticed that I need to touch up is glove, not sure how that happened. Like the rest of the set, this figure is metal instead of resin. However he does seem rather tall compared to my Judges.

These next 3 figures are actually from tbe Strontium Dog range. I bought them to add some extra variety to my Block gang. Howver they are slightly smaller and just don't seem to fit. As a result I gave them a matching paint scheme, I can use them as guards for a factory or transporter.

As my Judge Anderson model has finally arrived, I can look gorward to painting her up. In the meantime I've been putting together some various MDF kits for my take on Mega City One.

Judge Death

Another figure from the Arch Villains set. This time it's Judge Death. I really enjoyed painting this figure, even though its quite a simple paint scheme.

I've been busy assembling some MDF kits to build up my Mega city One games (whenever the lockdown ends) so far 4 kits built before I ran out of glue. Now I just have to await my order before I can proceed.

Judge Dredd - Robots

For my Arch-villain Nero Necros, I needed some robots to form part of his faction. The current Warlord range doesn't include any robots, so I looked into some proxies from North stars Rogue stars range. 3 suitable models picked up.

I made a conscious decision to go for a silver look to match the colours of Nero. It did make them nuce and easy to paint up.

And here they are with their erstwhile leader.

Now I've noticed that in a future release, Warlord will be releasing a Demo-bot which I'll need to add. Hopefully there may be a few other robots as well.

Judge Dredd - The Villains

As mentioned in my last post, I needed to make a start on some of the villains of Mega City One. So first up is Nero Narcos. A lovely model, already ordered some robots to back him up.

Next up is the assassin Orlock. The handy thing with this guy is he can work with Nero above. I tried to keep the look of a Sov agent.

The next figure doesn't really need an introduction, Mean Angel. Look forward to trying him out in a game.

It is a shame that Warlord do not yet produce the rest of the Angel gang. I've had a look on Ebay for the old Mongoose and Citadel sculpts and they seem rather pricey.

The last of the bunch is an old Citadel figure - Sleazy rider. The original bike has long since been lost. I did some modifications on an old Ork attack bike. I took off the guns and raised the seat. I'll be able to use him as either a block ganger or mutie on a bike.

The last model I completed is a car for my Citi Def. Picked this up from Annecotis workshop. Will definitely pick up a few more.

With the table set up I'm going to have my first run through of the game to get the hang of the mechanics.  I'll post some  pictures of the game later.

Street Judges

This is the latest set I picked up from Warlord games. 5 additional Judges with some optional weapons. With these I only really need to add Judge Anderson.

I've got them here positioned in from of a couple of fast food joints I picked up from TTcombat. I also decided to take a group photo of my Judges for Sector 47. Just need a Sector house for them.

For some extra scenic pieces for my games I picked up some vehicles from Anecottis Workshop. They were originally released for Infinity, but will fit in. I picked up a pack each of some single seater cars. There is also a larger model I need to finish for the Citi-Def.

I added a Judge to one if the photos for a scale comparison.

Now that I have plenty of the good guys,  I need to make a start on some of the villains.

Judge Dredd

Well I just had to do the man himself. Judge Dredd, he comes both on foot and mounted on a lawmaster. The lawmaster is much bigger than that of the cadet, a very nice model. I've also kept the rider seperate for ease of use during games. Not sure if I will use him as Dredd in all games, as can just use him as a standard street judge.

I also picked up the Street Judges boxed set. It will provide an additional 5 judges for Sector 47.

As an aside I also completed the 3 figures from the Block Ganger reinforcements. These are metal figures instead of the plastic/resin of others in the range.

I've got a couple of MDF terrain pieces to finish off while I am waiting for an order for more figures.

Judge Dredd - Citi Def

Painting has continued with my latest project. This time it's the citizens who form the Citi Def units to protect their Blocks. The first set is the basic 6 troopers. I went for a Blue/White uniform.

I do like most of the poses, quite dynamic but still a little cartoonish in keeping with the range. To bulk them out I also picked up the Re-inforcement set. This provides an extra trooper, sniper and heavy weapon trooper.

Pretty happy with how the camo turned out on the snipers cloak. So that's 9 figures for my Citi Def. Just need to think of a suitable Block name.

So now I need to wait for my next delivery of figures. I picked up some reinforcements for my Block gangers and the Judge Dredd model. In the meantime I have a MDF shop and some eateries to build for the tabletop.
