Thinking of a small 2000AD skirmish game project

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

But you didnt even have to do that.  That table is a perfect representation of the Big Meg.

Any photos of the gangs?

I've only got pics of my gang. Not the best quality, and I need to clean up the names.

That gang is great! Its like it stepped out of the comic, a bit like the Hellfire Club.

They are Kryomek figures aren't they?

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.

Scurv (and Dr Falkenhayn!) is right - the underrated Helltrekkers is only available as the reprinted installments from the Meg a few years back, though it's probably short (but not too short) enough to be reprinted as one of the Megazine's bagged free ''floppies' in the future. I'd be up for it, as I have my originals and I'm semi-seriously contemplating making my own perfect-bound volume to save wear and tear

Re: the scenario, this is a great choice I think, and I very nearly suggested it myself whilst lurking last week. Don't forget that the Helltrekkers strip also features mutants, dinosaurs, turncoat fellow Trekkers, futuristic trippy hippy communities and vast stretches of mysterious, murderous fog 

Good luck getting to the 1000k pole...

great looking Table  You should try out the Ape Gang on that Terrain

Yep, Kryomek.

The leader is a plastic Reaper Chronoscope mini though. I was using a Kryomek one but changed after I got a fat wad do credits and bought some sports armour

So, talk to me about figures  ..

[H.M.Stanley]

Just bought a Foundry Styx Brother to throw in as a random element when gaming with Johnny/Wulf.

I should have the first of my figs waiting on my desk today.

[H.M.Stanley]

Hurrah! The Foundry figures have arrived with a spare Dredd going to my fellow Trekker (when he lets me have his address) 

[H.M.Stanley]

The Foundry and Mongoose stuff mix fine... in most cases.  In others the scale discrepancy is a bit higher (as can be seen in Dr Falkenhayns second photo).  I happily mix them all together.

Both of the ranges have their own issues regarding posing, proportion, varied sculptors and styles, but considering my love for the subject matter I decided to roll with it: life is short, I want to play games with 2000AD figures, these are the available 2000AD figures available, end of story.

So I suggest that you get the ones that you like from each range.  If you have a concern about specific models I can take comparison shots if you like (I went full on fan-boy for both of these ranges so I have 99% of both).  Obviously I dont want to take catalogue style, Usual Suspects line up shots of all of the figures, but if you have a concern about specifics then let me know.  I am happy to take a few photos for a fellow Squaxx

Chap,

Any idea how the Copplestone Future Wars range compare to the Foundry figures?

Also looking for ideas for Mutie figures

Cheers

[Dr.Falkenhayn]

they should mix well.At least the Copplestone Figs are slightly bigger than the Mongoose/Warlord Street Gangers 

Muties eh?Plenty of sources to choose from:VOR Neo Sovs (RPE.Europe),Ramshackle Games,Troll forged,Horrorclix just to Name a few on the Budget End

Good man - thanks.

Thinking about some Copplestone Scavengers and/or Muties to add to the Family and use it as a generic gang until i'm up to speed with JDMG.

Similarly, i think i'll use SD/Wulf etc with Judges profiles

[Dr.Falkenhayn]

there's also "The Family" in the Street Violance Range,some EM4,Heroclix and the old Demonblade Range all mixed up in my Cursed Earth Gang  

[H.M.Stanley]

Damn - they look good!! 

[Dr. Zombie]

Some of the Spinespur minis might also work.
