I'm not going to pretend that I can paint anywhere as well as many of the members, here. I would, however, like to share my Judge Dredd project with you (because I like sharing).
http://generalgulliver.blogspot.com/2015/10/a-dredd-ful-post-title.html
This first post on my blog sort of rambles on about what I think of the quality of the miniatures. I won't bore you with that stuff here, but will be getting on with the pictures! lol

Very fine painting, I would be delighted with that result.
That Foundry Dredd really shows up the Warlord/Mongoose one doesn't it? I have the Judge Dredd starter set from Warlord and I'm looking forward to getting some games of it in, but some of the figures are definitely a bit lame in terms of casting quality and detail. As you say, though, some are pretty good!
I look forward to more of your stuff being posted!
-
Thanks, Gibby.
I also have the starter set and I think that the miniatures in it are not really the best choice for introducing someone to the line.
The gang miniatures are mostly fun and the limited edition models are beauties, but the stuff that comes in the Justice Department box are a poor representation.
-
Yeah the gangers are pretty good. The Justice Set... well, I thought about replacing them with Foundry versions. You can tool up a few Judges enough to make a much smaller yet gameable force anyway!
-
The Foundry models are really nice. I picked up the Specialist Judges set from Warlord and the sculpts are an improvement over the starter set.
I haven't painted any of the up yet.
-
Really nice painting, I'm impressed. And has definitely convinced me to get hold of the Foundry Dredd. I've got a few of the Warlord gangers, but em4's 'Future Skirmish' range is a good source of (cheaper) back-ups.
-
Thank you.

Very nice and crisp paint jobs. The figures are looking cool.

Thanks.

http://generalgulliver.blogspot.com/2015/10/murder-incorporated.html
Two organized criminals or corporate security enforcers.
The first is a Copplestone that was fun to paint. I'm not entirely happy with the paint job on the second one, a Foundry miniature, but I think it is okay enough to play with.

A riot judge and a street judge, both from Mongoose/Warlord.
It's funny how you don't always notice flaws in paint jobs until you've looked at their pictures....

A really nice set. The the front shot of purple lady almost looks real and the two tone glasses on the ganger makes his grimace appear even wilder.

Thank you, Aquamarine. Very flattering.

Great pace with these!
Have you plans or already made some scenery for this project?
-
Thanks!
I have... ideas. I have been thinking about different things to do regarding terrain. Initially, I was looking at the pre-made options out there to use either as-is or as a base to work from. Most of it doesn't really scream "Mega-City" to me so I am not sure I will go much with pre-made.
I also think about "locations" and modularity. I sometimes think I want to go with various pieces of terrain that I can put in different configurations to provide maximum utility, but then I also think a dedicated set of boards would be better (although storage becomes a problem).
I'm inspired by the comics as well as the recent movie and real life examples of cities (Kowloon Walled City is particularly inspiring). There are different locations, such as different parts of MC1 as well as different functional types of buildings (block plaza, Resyk, Justice Department buildings, apartments, etc.) to think about; yet there is also Cursed Earth and street level and even other planets or Moon base stuff.
Basically, there's a lot going on in my head, it's sort of keeping me from finding a starting point and I also have other projects that I'm working on -- so there's always an excuse to begin later. :)
-
Yes, the ever present question of terrain and difficult choices with that. Maybe for the JD game a street scene or ha block is more fitting for gaming than a Justice Dep building?
-
Yes, but I can't help but be inspired by the likes of stories where Justice buildings are the scenes of conflict. Such as Judge Cal and Lenny Zero!
Corrupt Judges, robot rebellions, gila munja (need to find some suitable miniatures for these).

Bah, just noticed this and now almost everything's sold out! Still, managed to get the Blood on the Streets supplement for a tenner, so I'm happy enough.

Loving the amount of innocent civilians you're doing for this project. i assume they're all going to get gunned down constantly by trigger-happy perps/judges in your games. lol
Also, I'd like to be able to paint to your ability. Looking forward to more updates!

Hah! I see them as something along the lines of moving terrain.
But, perhaps, also victims for the likes of the Dark Judges or similar baddies.
On Mongoose's forums I put up some experimental house rules that have civilians running away from shooting, running towards brawls (check out that fight!) and just generally providing obstructions in motion.
Also, I'd like to be able to paint to your ability. Looking forward to more updates!
:-*
Thanks! I know that my painting isn't on the level that we often see here, but I like the way my models turn out.

Great variety you have going, they appear to work well together. I've toyed around with the 'moving terrain' idea as well, sort of a panicked crowd rather than potentially distasteful individual casualties.
-
When I consider the role civilians in these games, I always think of the scene in Blade Runner when he was chasing Zhora through a crowd.
They get in the way, they obscure line of sight, one can hide amongst them, they will run away when someone starts shooting or they will cluster around people that are hitting each other.

This is a lot of stuff... I particularly like the judge with a chaingun.
I'm a bit curious though, any special reason the trenchcoat girl's guns are blue? It does give them a somewhat toy-ish look,
although maybe her plan is to make people think they're not real. :D
-
Thanks.
I've seen lots of pictures of painted guns on line and thought that this could be something people in the future might do more of.
It's meant to be characterful and have them stand out as a sci-fantasy setting, rather than always have black/camo/bare metal. I don't do this for the judges, as they have standardized equipment and are a professional organization, nor for miniatures that have crossover potential -- so they can fit into different settings.
I have going on a hundred painted miniatures for this, I think. Hundreds more waiting to be done.
I got a little over enthusiastic and now it is too late to turn back! So I keep buying more and friends who started similar projects and gave up have donated their collections to me. It's becoming a lifetime project.
I just picked up Pulp Alley rules to see how I can fit Dredd into them. I have the Mongoose Dredd rules and they look good and fun, but Pulp Alley is focused on telling action-adventure stories and that goes in line more with what I think of Dredd.
I keep telling myself I need to start on terrain.
-
Fair enough and actually thinking on it, I've played so much Borderlands 2 that I should know future guns can come in bright and cheerful colours. :D
I do feel you on the topic of getting over-enthusiastic as I'm guilty as charged myself though my painting pace is nowhere close to yours!
I've no knowledge of the Dredd rules but your assessment of Pulp Alley does match mine, and I believe the Leagues supplement even provides
(extra) advice on how to use them for various different settings including sci-fi
-
I should have been working in my yard this weekend, but I didn't.
Working in the yard is for squids

FionaWhite, I'll have to explore the Leagues book. I just picked it up.
I find I have loads of enthusiasm, but I don't always follow up on it. This time I am going to keep going!

Long time since I last checked on your progress, great to see you still at it! Have you set a certain limit to yourself with the amount of minis needed or you just keep on collecting and painting? Have you done any terrain lately?
-
Hola, pocoloco!
There is no end in sight!
I have a significant pile of unpainted lead and I can't stop buying more (I just ordered the Solar Studios civilians)...
There is so much possibility in Dredd's world that this will be going on for me for years to come.
Project scale creep has become an issue, I think. But there is no turning back.
I did buy some foamcore to start on terrain. I am thinking a plaza to start, or a run down residential section (inspired by the 2012 movie and Kowloon). A plaza would offer some multiple levels and room for vehicles...
There is a wide world of craziness to explore.
Thanks for checking back. If you have any advice, I'd love to hear it.

They do look spot on for Mega City One. Wargames Emporium who carry Hydra Miniatures in the UK unfortunately don't seem to have them (yet).

They were released about a month ago, so I'm sure they're on a boat.

Your collection just keeps on growing! :o Great work! Now that you are outside the walls, will you stay there for a while or pop back to the safety and order offered by the the MC-1? :)

Thanks! Yeah, this project really blew up on me. It started out as "I wanna do sci-fi like Blade Runner or Ghost in the Shell", shifted to "I like Dredd, let's do that" to "must buy all of the things!"
To me, Dredd is such a gold mine setting to game and collect, you can just about throw any type of model in there and find a use for it.
I wanted a change of pace, I will try to get focused back onto city folk, though.

Now that looks like a crowd! What a fine collection of civvies. :-*
Are they going to be just innocent by-standers with some in-game rules and effects or just pure panic stricken cannon fodder?
-
Thanks!
I think it will be scenario specific. Sometimes set dressing, other times characters to interact with, or victims to protect/attack, or crowds of moving terrain to get lost in.
In a setting such as this, with lots of people packed into confined spaces, it's necessary to have civilians populating it.
