2013 has been my year of Judge Dredd figures - not 100% exclusively, but it feels like it pretty much. Fairly new here so thought I'd share what I've been doing as it's a bit away from most of the postings here.

Apologies that my photography isn't great and the pics could do with some cropping, but i'll practice that side another time

All the figures are from Mongoose's Judge Dredd Kickstarter, with the exception of the Mongoose Paranoia figure that snuck in while I wasn't watching.

Ebeneezer Goode Block Citi-Def:





and their latest victim:



Some portly gentlemen:



Pesky Kids zooming around like they own the skies (don't even pay road tax):



Pesky Kids hanging around the streets causing trouble:





Some crazies who thought they'd summon a daemon from the pleasure gods, but ended up with a Khorne type:



The Justice collective from East Meg 1:



and their robots (only glossed for these photos - they got dullcoted over the weekend)



The thin blue line from Brit Cit:



Mega City Ones finest plus 2 cadets:







and a misguided wannabe Jimp (you can spot the Jimps as they wear black leathers rather than the proper blue (all good citizens know that blue is the 'right' colour for judges)):



If there's interest I'll update as more roll of the panting table (not very quickly, but steadily).

Awesome looking stuff!

Neat! I've never actually seen Judge Dredd, but these minis make me want to watch it.

This is cool. I love the crazies most.

I love the fatties...

Awesome work here ! The Brit Judges and fatties especially kick ass !

Thanks for all the nice comments There are some really nice mini's to paint in this range. I'm managing to turn out about 10 - 15 a month which, when a gang is maybe 8 figures, means a quite satisfying rate of progress.

The Ape gang is on the table right now - got them all based and bases painted at the weekend. Hoping to start having some finished soon.

What's the general feel for progress pics here - I rarely photo stuff that's part painted, but would this thread be better for completed gangs and individual pics elsewhere (or just wait until the gang is done)?

@ killykavekommando - glad to inspire you to try the world of Dredd I grew up on Dredd stories and would just caution that with the films, the newer one (Dredd 3D) is the much better film and well worth a watch. It does get the essential nihilism of Dredd, but it doesn't really capture the
satire of the comic. The Stallone film (Judge Dredd) on the other hand captures some of the silliness, but completely misses the intelligence and darkness that Dredd needs. If you can get your hands on some of the Judge Dredd Case File books, they are a much better intro to the world of Dredd.

Oh and anyone who doesn't have them should grab the free rule books from Mongoose - the game is good fun, pretty quick and easy to Proxy figures for.

The painting is amazing, but those are some ugly ass models from some fantastic source material.

OK I know I'm dragging this up from the depths, but I finally got around to taking some photos of my last few months' Dredd painting - I've put these aside for a while now to crack on with my Empire of the Dead stuff from West Wind (post to follow).

Ape Gang



Angel Gang



Cursed Earth Desperados plus gang leader again as the group shot is a bit blurry





A lot of Judges (no group shot - sorry)



























and a few extra citizens of Mega City One







and finally got my Sentenoid based on the clear acrylic that Fenris Games laser cut for me as a one off

Fantastic work, really nice and clean paint jobs with these.

Would probably say the muties are my favourites although they are all very good!

Are you planning to play any games with these (conscious of the new rules book just being released) or are they just for display?

I think personally I liked the Angel gang the best, mostly as Mean's arm is the first time I've felt I have sort of got the basics of NMM (long way to go miind you!)

I've had a few games so far - I'm hoping to get some scenery commission painted (I hate scenery painting) and then I'll get games going at home or at any South East events I can get to - sadly clubs are not thick on the ground around me. I'm working from the old pdf's at the moment, but if there's a good price anywhere on the new book at Salute I can see me giving in and picking it up there.

Been a long time coming (Empire of the Dead distracted me) but I just finished the Warmill Wasteation today and last month I did the Micro Art Studios Holoboards to be used for my Dredd board. All of them reminded me how much I hate painting scenery.











And here's Warmill's Sat Link that I had painted for me by Rich Goss from Sabre Studios



I much prefer painting figures to scenery and have got a guy down at my local club painting some more up for me now. I just got a cheapy airbrush so might try that on some more MDF stuff, but paying someone else to do it seems so much more attractive! Back to Empire of the Dead for a bit, but the dream of getting a Dredd game together lives on Should have enough scenery soon and then see if I can enthuse some citizens at my local club.

Aha! is that gang leader produced by mongoose? Ive had that model for about 3 years now and I have never been able to find what he's from!

Your paintjobs are absolutely lovely by the way, really convey the 2000AD Feel

Cheers for the comment. It's a really different feel to paint the bright semi-cartoony 2000 ad feel compared the the more historical stuff I usually do, great fun though. Yes the gang leader is mongoose. All of the above figures are mongoose' s judge dredd except the guy with a hole in his belly who is a mongoose paranoia figure from years ago.
