Ok folks get ready for some more 6mm madness.
After one to many comments that the Ground zero Games 6mm NAC troopers looked a little like Mega City judges I could no longer resist.
I just had to do Judge Dredd in 6mm ;D
This thread will chronicle my efforts to bring "The Law" to both Junkertown and the neighbouring comunity of Cherryblossom Heights.
Here's what I've got so far.

So we have from left to right Judge Cassandra Anderson, Judge Dredd and Judge Giant and in the back Dredd on his Lawmaster bike.
I've since found two more of the bikes in my bits box so Anderson and Giant should get their rides too, after that I have a few ideas for some more vehicles but then things will probably be on hold until Microworld releases their new Microwasteland line, we'll see...
Oh and for those of you unfamiliar with both Junkertown or Cherryblossom Heights here's a few pictures of our intrepid hero's beat

Thats it for now, stay tuned for more...
Ps: Does anybody have a recomendation for rules that handle street chases well?
Cheers,
Stroezie.

Dam! I knew I shouldn't have done Dredd in 28mm! Lovely stuff! 8)
-
Wow lovely stuff - although I can't believe that you're gaming with individually-based 6mm infantry figures! o_o I think I'd be knocking the scenery about all the time trying to get my big hands in there! lol
-
Remarkable, sir!
This is one of the best 6mm projects Ive ever seen!
Now we only need the necessary creeps to live in your city (punks, angel gang, judge death, Batman!), and the fun can really go wild.
-
That's bloody marvellous! :-*
-
@Major Gilbear
Everything on that board is magnetised to keep things more or less in place. Besides, if your big fingers can't reach in there, you could always play with chopsticks. lol
-
That looks really fun. I like the slightly cartoon-looking buildings. It really fits the chibi look of the figs.
Nice job all around!
-
It is inspiring.
-
Well I got some of the exelent Microworld Wasteland minis for christmas so I can finally continue with this project.
I decided to finish my judges first, I made a fourth judge and then converted three more bikes so they would all have rides.
Here's a pic

And a little preview of whats to come
(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Py82DsDnbcY/WVZkMIYmMnI/AAAAAAAADpE/PeQ9m9m247MaZ2fMf7yIxc6VSjt2BVVCwCEwYBhgL/s640/d8418538-6798-437f-a3d7-d4af93dd020f_zpsekhnuang.jpg)
That's it for now, more to come as I paint them.
I'm also still looking for a good car chase rule set for this so if you know of any good ones let me know.
-
Oh brill - how do they scale? They look so detailed that I've sort of assumed the warriors are 8mm tall... that the case, are they big?
-
Glad to see these.
-
Gotta love anything Dredd! :-*
-
That's sweet!
-
As a lot of people have asked about the size of the wasteland figures vs other 6mm miniature lines I thought I'd take a quick size comparison picture.
The judges are all GZG miniatures(1 standard,3 headswaps) and the figure on the far right is from Angel Barracs.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vyo3MqYAXac/WVZkK1KzdqI/AAAAAAAADpE/L5LPsu3itUgF4BJxfVZfg366-A7iXFn0wCEwYBhgL/s640/3cfa4e8b-d426-47f4-9c7a-1d8798b35add_zps18kgklxr.jpg)
As you can see there's a few real big boys in there but overall I'd say they size up pretty well imo.
The real big ones are mainly from the first 2 sets of wasteland warriors the later sets tend to be a bit smaller.
I don't really mind actually because hey, who knows what kind of strange mutated freaks roam the wastelands 8)
-
Excellent, thanks for that - they're absolutely fine (scale wise) as you say. Cheers!
-
I love it! :-*
I don't think my sausage appendices and my fading eyesight would nowadays allow me to delve into the madness that is 6mm, but the thought of the sheer amount of stuff a tenner or two can buy you, compared to larger sizes, is very discomforting... lol
-
Car chase rules? I wonder if you could modify the THW wasteland car racing rules somehow.

Home -> post apocalypse -> machinas if the link doesn't work.

Fantastic project.! :-*
-
I've painted a few of the more punk style warriors.
They are great sculpts with lots of detail, altough I must admit they can be a bit intimidating to start on.

As I was painting them I suddenly remembered I had an Angel Barracks mini that was perfect for this project and here he is to.
Hold it right there perp!

That's all I've got painted for now.
I think I will use these for a test game of the TwoHourWargame Chain Reaction rules as I am thinking of getting the Urban Renewal, New hope City P.I. and Machinas rules to cobble something together that will let me capture the Judge Dredd Case Files feeling.
I will do my utmost best to give you an AAR of that but with my (non existent) AAR track record I ain't promising anything.😅
Stay safe citizens and remember OBEY THE LAW!
Cheers,
Stroezie.

Excellent!

Only managed to get a little painting done over the weekend.
Decided to have a go at some of the cars, one of each model I've bought so far.
The first two are going to go with the Rainbow Mohawk Road Warriors gang.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KEhQiV_ClUI/WVZkLnjoZRI/AAAAAAAADo8/buIvhpcvSDcogrb8Mm2KnC8gplmiVhOXgCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_20170115_200528_zpsuudt7ymu.jpg)
Hmm.... in hindsight I'm going to have to put some mohawks on those two riders.
The third one belongs to the Walton gang.
From left to right, the twins Bubba, Ma Walton, Pa Walton, Billy-Bob the oldest son and the daughter Bobby-Jo.
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r4Edy7iJPj8/WVZkLlubVhI/AAAAAAAADo4/1dgZU9lz4TEbX2cnyaMTv7H2xF6aywXcACEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_20170115_200433_zpsmuppopqk.jpg)
I'm thinking of getting them an up armored tow-truck and basing them out of a junk yard/chop shop (Angel Barracks zippy couriers, supply dump, junkerheaps...)
Sorting through the rest of the figures I found two more candidates for the mohawk gang and five others which will become more or less normal wasteland travellers (truckers, bounty hunters, prospecters...) the rest will probably form a biker gang but we'll see that when I get to them.
The vehicle rules are 95% sure to be THW's Machinas with a few tweaks for open road/city traffic methinks.
For the investigations I'm still on the fence between THW Urban Renewal/NHC PI. and The Department Of Fabricant Management from Four Color Figures.
If any of you have any experience with any of these games your insights would be appreciated.
Till next time,
Stroezie.

I needed a break from sculpting so I painted some more gangers and vehicles.

I also bought the pdf's of the rules mentionned above, now I just need to get to a print shop to have them printed out.(going bonkers trying to reference stuff on my phone).
