Judge Dredd -Citi-Def

 Citi-Def 

My first unit is a Citi Defence unit using a mix Mongoose plastics with a bit of green stuff and a future soldier for the leader. I elected to use a simple brown and cream palette, really happy with the result, basing is simple grey to match my asphalt table top roads.

Judge Dredd- Citadel Robots

Para 3 Bots 

I picked these up off eBay about 5 weeks ago to add to my Dredd collection, they are circa 1978 and I had a few in the mid 80s which I used in Rouge trader games, God knows were they ever got too.
The figs originally were West End Games for the Paranoia Game I think, then citadel purchased the rights to produce the figure while in Newark. Citadel released the figures as Para 3 Bots. They come with separate tops and bottoms so you can mix and match to suit roles and were random in the box.

Judge Dredd - Vestal Virgins

 Vestal Virgins 

A start to my first Block gang for my Judge Dredd collection are the Vestal Virgins for the Liz Hurley block in sector 10. The Vestal Virgins are named after Liz Hurley‘s Punk Rock band, I have elected to paint them in bright red clothing, with white highlights, white boots, armour and pink hair. The figures are a mix of Warlord Games Resin Judge Dredd range and Mongoose Publishing Block Wars figures with green stuff added Mohawks and some sculpted body armour. Really happy with the result. Below are three juves, one lieutenant and one female perp.

Monkey Business - Planet of the apes

 I picked up these chimps from a bring and buy stall at Partizan this year in a 1£ bucket, they have a very Socialist/communist vibe about them, the chimp with the hammer also had a sickle but I removed that and intend to add a flag at some stage. I elected to paint them in worker blue clothing. 

I will also use them for my pulp and sci-fi games I think 






I also picked up this spaceman in the same box and opted for a orange suit for him, really happy with my colour selection. All of the figures are for the analogue painting challenge.

Wip Wednesday- eclectic holiday mix

 This Wednesday WIP is very eclectic as I am on holidays in Australia and my paint and figure travel pack is quite small.


First up are a mix of Mongoose and Warlord Judge Dredd figure ranges for my Dredd collection, two gangs, I plan to complete a lot of my Dredd collection over the next six weeks and a single space explorer (not sure of the range) for Pulp/sci-fi games. Next some Robots that I purchased on EBAY just for the analogue painting challenge. Then some Apes,  1 is “Joe Bananas” from Games Workshop Judge Dredd Range, the others are unknown range but have a very downtrodden worker socialist/communist vibe, they will also join my Dredd collection. Finally two camels from the Reaper Bones resin adventure range (only picked them up last week) for table fillers for pulp games or other 28mm desert type games.


Having a lovely break in the brisbane hinterland enjoying the sun and swimming everyday. 


Cheers

AT M6 - Star Wars All Terrain Mega caliber 6

 AT-M6 Star Wars 


First model off the desk for 2026 is an entry for the analogue painting challenge. The kit is a Bandai plastic model kit number 5064111. A nicely detailed and very simple assembly, no scale but I suspect around 1/500th scale standing 36m = 7.3cm tall, the body is similar in size to a hot wheels car.

What says empire more than the First Order! The All Terrain MegaCaliber Six (AT-M6), also known as the Gorilla Walker is a mobile heavy artillery walker used by the First Order. The biggest walker in the First Order's arsenal, the AT-M6 was much larger than the All Terrain Armored (AT-AT ) used by the Galactic Empire. Armed with a single Mega-Caliber Six turbolaser cannon mounted to its back for which the walker was named. It Is also equipped with two forward-mounted fire-linked heavy laser cannons, two cheek-mounted anti-ship medium laser cannonsand two sets of serrated cable cutters in the front legs to deter attempts at toppling the top-heavy walker. The walker also carried a targeting computer which analyzed the input from two sets of cockpit-mounted targeting sensor banks to deliver precise shots.

Really happy with the result, I tried to base the vehicle like the film on a salt crusted red planet as per the movie.
