Firstly my apologies for the lack of a Wednesday post, I was learning how to and then actually sticking needles into human beings, so didn't have the time to finish painting the bases for these models. To be honest I've got a little bit of stage fright with this post as it comes hot on the heels of Bryan's (Vampifan) recent post on the same minis. His version of the Dark Judges were excellently painted and his knowledge of the MC-1 and all things 2000AD is encyclopedic. So nervously I'm going to present to you my versions of the biggest and baddest DJs ever! As before these formed part of the prize Bryan offered up on his blog, that I was lucky enough to win. What you don't know is that the prize only included Judge Fire (previously shown here) Judge Fear and Judge Mortis, which meant I didn't have the nominal leader of the dastardly quartet Judge Death! However the ever generous (and I seriously mean generous!) Bryan emailed me (without prompting I might add) and offered to purchase Judge Death for me, in fact he had already done it and it was on its way to me! Seriously the dude is legend.....
Anyhoo here they are....

I won't add any commentary as Bryan has already given you the gist, if you haven't read his article - what are you waiting for? i've already provided the link.
hope you enjoy

You can't have too much of a good thing !
ReplyDeleteNicely painted and the Indyclix ones have an impressive dynamism.
Thanks Phil, they are nice sculpts aren't they?
DeleteVery nice, I painted these for a friend last year!
ReplyDeleteThanks Fran, that's a lucky friend
Deletetop work as usual. Oh the joy of needles
ReplyDeleteThanks Martin, I enjoyed the placement, much prefer putting needles into people than having them put into me!
DeleteThey look great Andy very dark and moody
ReplyDeleteThank you Dave, just the look I was going for :-)
DeleteLovely job on some lovely figs!
ReplyDeleteCheers Gordon;-)
DeleteSeeing the Indyclix figures lined up against the Foundry Judge Death you wouldn't know that they came from different ranges. They match up very well. Good job on all of them, Andy. Many thanks for the blog plug.
ReplyDeleteQuote: "...his knowledge of the MC-1 and all things 2000AD is encyclopedic." Sad but true. I could answer "Mastermind" questions on the subject!
They do work well together don't they? Thanks dude;-)
Delete"the dude is legend....." - Indeed he is Andy, and an extremely generous one too!! Great painting on the models :-)
DeleteThanks Simon, I think those of us who have benefited from his largesse can't help but be grateful as he is so generous.
DeleteAbsolutely awesome. Bryan strikes again. His generosity to me has been felt on more than one past occasion. But what you have DONE with these Indy figures and the others: WOW is all I can say. Just - WOW. I`m so impressed. I also adore the backdrop you have used. Tutorial please on how you made it *hint hint*
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful for everything!
DeleteThis post is how I put this together, it's an old post so it doesn't go into detail but the barbed wire is essential two strands of jewellery wire place in an electric drill and slowly wound together.

Hope this helps
Yea that really helps Andy, thank you. Its a masterly bit of terrain building.
DeleteThanks T :-)
DeleteI am falling deeply in love, more and more with this entire genre, each and every post I see... across the entire blog pile: from Bryan`s, Andys, jez`s, Clint, the two Simons... the LOT. I am known for my love of historical gaming, but I tell you, this whole comic book, hero clix, Judge Dredd, etc etc, its so freakin awesome its beyond belief.
ReplyDeleteI really love what you have done here Andy. I second the hint... tutorial on how you made that backdrop please :)
It's a great genre Steve as it covers everything a gamer needs. Dinosaurs, talking apes, zombies, robots, mutants, alien mercenaries and so much more!
DeleteGorgeous work Andy, and as already stated the backdrops just add to the overall look immensely.
ReplyDeleteCheers Roger.
Thanks Roger, it's one of my terrain boards - the factory :-)
DeleteLove these figures. Great paintwork.Nice scenery to.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ptr, I appreciate that :-)
DeleteI am not a fan of any of the really long JD stories, Like The Dark Judges or cursed earth, judge Cal etc. Mega city 1 is so large these stories seem like a distraction! Smaller crimes always grabbed my attention more mostly because they were more real and more realistic. A lot less hype and more down to earth given the huge metropolis so for me (and probably only me) I would have rather a story about a Juve Scrawling, or a perp tampering with a robot (no not sexually tampering with a robot!) or a Perp selling sugar (white stuff) even a block war or a bank heist or a lost child. But I may well be alone in this thinking.
ReplyDeleteBut these are very foreboding and evil in their countenance.
As for sticking needles into people. I prefer sub cut to IM but have done both and no I never had to practice on an orange as I know some did. I am guessing you did not either.
DeleteI love the block wars and apocalypse wars etc but I also loved the stand alone stories as like you say they add flavour to the city of 800 million.
DeleteI have practiced on oranges but also on artificial skin, for both IM and subcut, but have been using these for the last two years on real patients, this placement however was for cannulation so it was particularly interesting
Nice band - in a manner of speaking; they're not really nice creatures at all, are they :-) . Definitely not the sort of thing that your ordinary street judge would wish to meet...
ReplyDeleteCertainly not C6, the average street judge is ill equipped to face these monsters
DeleteIIRC it wasabout the time the Dark Judges turned up that I 'went off' the whole JD saga (sadly), but these fit well with the Dark Judges theme.
ReplyDeleteThanks (I think) Joe, you're not on your own some others have expressed similar sentiments but I always enjoyed the Dark Judges, especially as it meant Judge Anderson got involved!
