I’ve had these figures since the late 1980’s, they’ve been painted and stripped twice (enamels, then early acrylics) and have been sitting in a zip-lock bag in a figure box for the last decade or more. When I saw that Dave Stone’s current challenge also had a group of people painting Judge Dredd/Mega-City One models, I decided to dig into my own models and pick a few out. Now, I don’t have any of the most Recent Warlord Games models, and while I DO have most of the Mongoose Judge line, a few from Wargames Foundry and the odd special model (Mars Attacks, Minty) – I also found these. I did also have Anderson, a Brit-Cit judge on bike and Judge Death from the early Citadel line, but they may be lost to time.

The four Judges from (our) left to right are Judge Hershey, Gallagher, Dredd (v.2) and Bambra – who appears to have been sculpted to be leaning on a bike or something. In the end and after a slightly rough start, I really enjoyed painting these. The biggest issue that they caused was wanting to immediately grab out another four of them to work on once I completed them – and I have SO many other models to paint. That’s the beauty of these challenges and even sub-challenges. I’m hoping Dredd makes a cameo in a future challenge so I can have an impetus to gran a few more of them. 🙂

I’m just throwing in my palette for the green and the gold in here – mostly for my own future reference! 🙂

Mega-City Judge in RTB01 Power Armour

This figure was one I painted many years ago, and found in a box recently, beaten up and nasty. I’m sure that I’m far from the only person who as a teen decided that their metal Citadel Judge Dredd figures needed some more heavily-armoured backup and found that backup in the form of a plastic RTB01 Space Marine.

After seeing the Mega-City One/Judgement Day project going on over on Sho3box, I pulled it out and thought to myself that I should repaint it. Last weekend, Marouda selected it as a figure for me to finish off to clear the paint desk, and so I set to the task. Kind of a complete repaint, and kind of an overpaint. The eye lenses are original, as is the numeral on the power fist. Everything else used the original paint as the base coat, and added modern highlighting and shading. The exception is the gold work, which was originally painted a bright yellow, and was simply plain. I decided to go for metallics, and freehand a MC-1 Eagle of Justice onto the pad. Because I can.

I also stuck him onto a 32mm base, because apparently I’m also doing that now.

There’s a second one of these guys as well. Unfortunately he’s in the kind of shape that C-3PO was in about three quarters of the way through The Empire Strikes Back, so he’ll require a bit more work in order to recover.

One day I’ll use him in Judge Dredd games, and also as an Imperial Adeptus Arbite in 40k/Rogue Trader/Deathwatch/etc. And in games like Frag!
