Cheers chap.

First game planned next week.

I might just skip the Barko Bros and head straight into a couple of 300pt games with a pair of Street Judges (if painted*) and the Demonic Cabal.

* ... if not, Johnny Alpha and Wulf may proxy as Judges

You have some nice stuff going on here :). I saw these on Facebook and thought they may be of interest to you (Bronze age miniatures available from Fenris Games at the moment):

Interesting - thank you.

The last lot look like they could be used as City-Def.

Might be cool to use them in the Apocalypse war then.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

Rogue Trooper ... hmmmm. No no no no  lol

I like the idea Scurv of a list/thread of alternative figures for the 2000AD world!

My Mantic building boxset arrived yesterday although it won't be ready for the game on Thurs.

I nipped down to Wicks yesterday and bought 3 metres of 35mm black waste pipe. Cut them into 12/18" sections [benefits of a 70s education and a product of mixed messages when it comes down to weights and measures] and ta-daa, pipework* to scatter round the abandoned industrial unit where the Cultists practice their dark arts. Should also block line of site from the pesky Judges  :D

*In time it will get a matt black spray

(I got the full set of the OOP GW adeptus arbites in a recent deal that will now be used as judges. I have a spanking dredd fig too thanks to the OP  so maybe some dredd on tour scenario is in order.)   

Come on, lets be seeing him painted up  :)

I have a saunas worth of muscle men to get through first.  lol (painting that is)

They have devoted themselves to Khorne as well. All squads now must be 8 strong....

Sounds Bonkers. I like it!!

Saurus as Kleggs? No i shouldn't ...

Talking of using proxy figures as 2000AD, any thoughts on what could be used as a  Vatican City Judge?

James I dont know if you are aware but Mingoose did release a Vatican judge. I know because I have one. Afraid I want to keep this one but if you put it out as a want on the forum you might have some luck. He was part of their Judges of the World set.

also have you checked Foundrys 2000AD sets. I cant remember if there is one in there.

Hi Archie. Oh I know I could pop down to WL and pick up a  Judge Cesare (sp?) figure but where's the fun in that? [grin]
