no no no! You got the wrong shit bro!

The cursed earth story is so bad and dated its a fucking shocker. I love 2000ad but that was total shit that arc. In fact I would say damnation alley the movie was better and that should be impossible to ever say.

Never fear though. I'd suggest a few cursed earth gems like Helltrekkers. That is chock-a-block full of win and cursed earth awesome that story. (though if you spend a wad on ramshackle games stuff to make your own helltrekker wagons dont blame me.)

For me the great dredd stories were block mania/apocalypse war. (one continued from the other) Dead man/Necropolis, Hottie house siege, America and any of the old stuff with fatties in it like heavyweight champion of the world.

For SD you have tons of great stuff. The schickelgruber grab, The mutant war vs the kreelers, the cleaning up of the 49th territory (might of hand another name that one) the one where they take on the lirian sorcerers and stacks more. I personally didnt like the final solution story though. Christ only knows what they thought they were doing there.

Awesome!! Thanks fella

In fairness, i just paid SFA for the Cursed Earth. £0.01 plus postage. Now i know why

Thanks for your help on this team

Helltrekkers sounds spot on as do Scurv's other suggestions.

So, Case Files 05: 'Block Mania'/'The Apocalypse War'/Hot Dog Run and ....? Does that volume include Helltrekkers?

Best,

James

Helltrekkers was never put into a collected volume I believe but may be wrong. It was about MC1 cits emigrating to MC2 via the cursed earth. THink some western wagon train film but sci fi and better.

Aww bugger. I wants it now.

Episodes with the Family?

Dr.Falkenhayn · « **Reply #35 on:** February 21, 2014, 11:26:13 AM »

Helltrekkers has been reprinted for the JD Magazine

The Familiy is spread allover the Case Files i'm afraid
Case Files No5 is one of the most essentials though.It also contains "The Megacity Rackets" i.e the daily Business of Criminals in and around MC1 such classic Strips as the "Bodysharks" or the "Blitzer" Company and many more

I imagine the necromunda missions would make good
Missions for judge dredd too
How do the systems compare?

The Somnambulist · « **Reply #38 on:** February 21, 2014, 05:42:47 PM »

I've got plans to do a few Dredd skirmish scenarios myself, I've got the Dark Judges, The Angel Gang and I also plan on getting the Sov Judges.

As someone has said the danger with Dredd inspired stuff is it never ends ... this could be you gaming life for the rest of your natural days!

Personally I am trying to minimise purchases so my Judges have fought a lizard incursion (using my existing DnD lizards and GW skinks) and they will next be facing a zombie apocolypse thanks to again my DND undead forces. My ten or so judges have also fought off a dalek invasion from 1985 GW plastic daleks ...

Judges are the true mix and match goodies! And honestly it feels pretty true to the wild and varied comic stories over the years!

OMG!! What is it??

H.M.Stanley · « **Reply #41 on:** February 22, 2014, 01:44:27 PM »

Luckily for you Ramshackle is very affordable.

Gone skiing! Back with you next week. But that looks doable in 28mm

Got in two games of Judge Dredd last weekend. Excellent stuff .

We set it after the apocalypse war, in a shanty that had sprung up.

My anarchists, with the help of robot mercs, were trying to demolish it.

Mega City's finest, with some Brit Cit help, tried to stop them.

You really can use any terrain you want in the game and find a fluffy reason for it.
