Gaze into the face of
Judgement Day #13, Judge Fear



Deadworlds most well known whipping boy, this model sat in various stages of completion on my painting table for nearly two years.  It was a tangible relief to finish him.



I worked on the rest of my Dark Judges hundreds of painted miniatures ago, back in late 2011.  How I paint is always changing, so it was tricky to try to go back to paint Fear in the same style as the others, but I managed it... eventually.



The figure is unreleased as far as I know.  Although the rest of the Dark Judges have been available from Foundry for years now, Fear was not.  I picked up this model on a trip to Foundry a few years ago: I dont know if it is available for sale.



Somewhat dodgy paint job aside, it really is a personal pleasure to have these four creeps ready for a game.  All together now...

"The crime iss life, the ssentence iss death!"

More info and images in the blog post for anyone inclined.

Oh wow, that flaming dude looks AMAZING! I mean seriously, that's one of the most dramatic "fiery" miniatures I've ever seen! I must steal this colour scheme right away!

Loving the JD stuff - I have my new Kleggs box set and Robots to get painted.

and it is a fun game

Wonderful!

Great to see super models and a world at the same time. Nice touches!

This week, Sov Judge Officer Pashkov joins the ranks of the East Meg One judiciary. I haven't painted a human face in a while, so I enjoyed painted Pashkov's features immensely. I made him slightly haggard, as he is on active duty on the front lines after all. All that stress, and the possibility of running into Dredd would make anyone prematurely grey.

This week's Judgement Day offering is one of my favourite bad guys from Judge Dredd, Orlok the assassin. Orlok was an East Meg One agent who poisoned the water supply of Mega City One, leading to the mass outbreak of block mania, the precursor to the Sov invasion. He also killed Judge Giant. Yes, Orlok is a massive jerk, but he's one of the few who can go toe to toe with Dredd in a fist fight. A must have for a Sov collection really.

I went for a pretty modern looking scheme, with a worn leather jacket and boots, black trousers and gloves. I put most of my time into the face. Orlok has a very distinctive scar, and I accentuated it a tad to make it more of a point of interest. As the gear is very modern day, (If we ignore the rolled up sleeves. Orlok is so hard he can roll up leather sleeves.) I also added the smashed Judge's helmet to anchor him back into the Judge Dredd universe.

Awesome work. Makes me want to work on my judge Dredd miniatures

Nice model, I like how you've painted it quite dark so it's a dark model overall, but the highlights are quite bright so it still pops.

Fan-bloody-tastic

Thanks folks. Black and brown aren't the zaniest of colours, so I had to turn up the highlights accordingly.

Awesome thread. Absolutely love judge dread will be keeping an eye on this one

Orlok is mighty fine

Whoops, I forgot to update the forum when I posted #15 on my blog. I was rather busy that weekend (good busy, international toy soldier gaming sort of busy, but busy nonetheless) and neglected the forum.

#15 Judge Fear Spirit Form

Its a small contribution this time, the spirit form of Judge Fear that shows up when the reanimated corpse that he occupies is destroyed (corporeal Fear included for comparison purposes)..



The model is small and simple but nicely formed I think and it was easy to get it painted fairly fast. I havent painted that ectoplasmic green g-g-g-ghost effect before, but I am fairly pleased with how it turned out.

The Judge Fear Spirit Form blog post is here.

Im really looking forward to seeing Orlok in hand Mr S, the more restrained colour scheme makes lots of sense.

All looking awesome. I've got a few bits to paint for Dredd too, need to get round to it. Keep it up guys hopefully you'll inspire me to crack on too. :-)

That spirit form is a great idea for a model. Marvelous work, guys. Keep it up!

Another quick one from me as I try to clear some of the toy soldier backlog, also a bit later than scheduled this week...

#17 Judge Mortis Spirit Form

Like Fear last time, this is what happens to Judge Mortis when he is between corporeal forms.



A small submission, but one that I get a kick out of, even if the pastels and the way that the model is sculpted make notions of My Little Pony come to mind...



The blog post is here. I think that Mr Saturday has something a bit more substantial planned for next time.

Really awesome stuff, cant wait to see whats next.

Today's Judgement Day submission is the Karpov MF7 Sentenoid. Deployed to support the Sov invasion of Mega City One, this robot was a mainstay of the Sov forces during the Apocalypse War, one electrocuted Mega City One judge at a time.



I've been ticking away at the Sentenoid for a while now. It comes in eleven parts, and I pinned the hell out of it. It required minimal clean-up. It's attached to the base by only two of the four legs, so pinning was the only way. I wanted to go nuts on the base too. The Sentenoid takes up very little of the actual base, so I had plenty of room for a dead Mega City One judge and some Apocalypse War paraphernalia. The truly devoted might recognise the leaflets scattered about the base.



It's a very nice model when it's all together, and surprisingly large. I also tried out AK Interactive's Fuel Stain effect on some of the vents and such. It's a nice oily, glossy finish. A little hard to see on the photos, but it adds another level of interest to the model. They are oil-based, but that's no real impediment. They do a great range, so well worth checking out.

With the Sentenoid finished, that completes the Sov Invasion box minis. Here's the whole gang:



There's only one more Sov left in my radar now, the main man himself. I've been looking forward to getting a brush at him for some time now.

That looks really cool! The robot has a lot of old-school charm, and the dead(?) judge on the base adds so much to the model overall! Was the leaflet painted freehand or printed and transferred?

Thanks Mr Samurai. The leaflets are scans of the image in the comic, scaled down, printed out and cut out. Some water and pva to make them malleable and ink to dirtify them up and that's it.

#19 Renegade Servo-Droid

A quick one today, a former services industry employee turned rebel.



The figure is a Mongoose/Warlord Renegade Robot. I decided to go for a less industrial scheme on this guy compared to the more obviously industrial robots on the set. I intend to match this colour scheme with some unarmed menial robots at a later date.

I used the same colour scheme on the gun as on the other Renegades. I imagine that they hijacked an arms shipment at some earlier point as I like the little thread of consistency that the consistent weapon colour brings.



The blog post is here. Mr Saturday will have another submission next week.

Wow - you fellas are doing a phenomenal job. Sending me right back to the golden age of 2000AD and Dredd. Block Mania and then the Apoc War is still one of my favourite stories ever told. Awesome stuff and great work here. Cheers
You've got the Dark Judhes down pat, but wondering - did them ever made figs of Phobia and Nausea?

He looks good, but I'm having a bit of trouble resolving that "lens"; it doesn't exactly look like a lens or an eye, it just looks confusing to me.

Great painting - well done

Have you seen the new Sov Judge that is coming out - she is stunning

Have you seen the new Sov Judge that is coming out - she is stunning

I have, she looks great. I'll be adding her as a second senior judge once I can get a copy. There are a couple of new Sov minis on the way IIRC.

This week, to conclude my East Meg One project I give you the main man himself, War Marshal Kazan.



Kazan is a pretty hilarious mini, for a murderous dictator. He's sending everyone to Siberia with that finger. Everyone. The sculpt is a fair bit more buff than the character in the comic, and that moustache...

Apparently Carlos Ezquerra (the artist who worked on the Apocalypse War series) gave him that little moustache as it was quite popular with fascists during the Franco years in Spain. It gave him a chuckle, as it gave me one when I was painting it. The tache, the weird shades, the white crew-cut, he's just fabulous, and manages to totally pull it off. The fact that he's a total bastard helps his cred too. I can't wait to get him on the gaming table.

With Kazan finished, that concludes my East Meg One project. I now have a hearty group of Sovs, enough to give me options when picking a force. There are at least two new Sov minis coming down the line, which I will certainly be adding to the collection once they are released. For now though, here's the whole gang.

Lovely stuff, thanks for sharing.

I might have missed it but where did the original construction crew come from? I realy like the guy in the exo suit.

Also where are the cool retro future cars from?

Great work - very tempted by the new Brit Cit Judges myself

Brit Cit is pretty tempting.

At the moment, the other Mega-Cities are just MC-1, but with worse guns. At least East Meg judges can come out shooting.
