From PeteF: I Am The Law! ( 52 points)


 What's this? A third entry in a single week (thanks for you patience)! Entering the warp maelstrom I was deposited on Krypton and happened to have this superhero on the pile of shame.




I remember the first issue of 2000AD in the 1970s and how I enjoyed this comic well into my 20s before life's other distractions finally displaced it. All of its characters, and perhaps most of all Joe Dredd, have a big place in my heart. Maybe one day I'll rebuild my collection.

It was exciting when Warlord Games took over the license and I of course immediately ordered these minis - which have sadly remained unloved for a few years.  No longer. I finally got some paint on Judge Dredd and his Lawmaster bike this week.

I went for the cartoon look and I'm happy with the way the Judge turned out. I don't love the rubbery plasiticy material that Warlord uses for these sculpts but I like painting it even if it lacks the heft of metal (my preference for skirmish games).

1 x 40mm foot figure (serious scale creep) = 7 points

1 x 40mm mounted figure = 15 points

bonus for warp maelstrom planet = 30 points

TOTAL= 52 points


I am totally at sea with most Superhero Comic Book characters, but I like what I see!  Nice work on the blue/yellow colours on bike thingy (it seems a bit like a cross between a MX bike and a steam roller) and on the Doc.

  1. Nice rendition of old stony-face, Pete! He's not doing too badly for an 83 year old! :)

  3. Serious Scale Creep could potentially be the name of a Judge Dredd villain. :)
    Great looking paint job, he looks ready to take on the worst Mega City One can throw at him.

  4. That super hero is simply super, and I don't mean to simper over you're skillful paint squiggles, it's straight up sincerity speaking.
    Cheers, MikeP

  6. Superb work, stepping right out of the comics (actually better than the comics)!
