I was an avid reader of 2000AD Monthly back in the day and Dredd unquestionably was my favourite character. A few years back I sold my collection of original GW Judge Dredd Miniatures... fool that I am, I was never gonna need them right?... Wrong!
The Dredd movie did it for me, I dragged out my old Dredd Mags, picked up Case File No. 1 and got all nostalgic about old stony face.
That's when I found the Judge Dredd Miniatures Game, available as a free download at the time, simple enough.
And then... I found the Kickstarter and signed up at surprisingly low level (no idea how I manged to maintain that, considering the 'giddy fury' that ensued). I got my name in the recently released rulebook credits and picked up a pack of Judges.
In Grud's name they were really quite fun to paint. Nothing too fancy here, just plain colours, washes, a few highlights and some gloss varnish on the helmets.
I've a few more to go, but this was enough to play a few quick games and get to grips with the rules and Outbreak City was perfectly happy to sub itself as the Big Meg.

I suspect many of us fall into the same regretting category, the new minis look good and I prefer the comic-book look of the first film rather than the new one, traditionalist that I am.
ReplyDeleteI grew up with the comic book look, so it has a special place in my heart, I even actually still quite like the first movie, for all it's flaws, but I do prefer the new movie
DeleteAdam, mate, these are great! As you know, I am also a huge fan of Judge Dredd (sorry, Joe, but the new film is vastly superior to the original). Please keep us posted on any new figures you paint or batreps involving Judge Dredd.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan, Indeed, thought you might appreciate them. I will do!
