Stompa_Guy's Luna 1 Dredd and Dredd Conversion Thread

[Stompa_Guy]

This thread will be for my Judge Dredd miniatures games conversions.  I'll just post them as I finish them.

I've had a couple of Judge Dredd Heroclix hanging around for a while and I've been trying to think of what to do with them. I thought maybe to make the Zombie Dredd that the Judge Child clone summoned up (Prog four hundred something, maybe 477?), and I thought to clip the bits off and make the Dark Judge that the Dark Judges turned The Joker into, and I thought of a few more things that seemed a bit too involved for me to tear myself away from other projects to start.

Well, a friend gave me some of the old Eagle Comics Dredds (even though I have a lot of the B&W complete case files, it's neat to have a few colored issues around.) and they were sitting in a stack next to my work desk and I saw Luna 1 Dredd on the cover and figured that would be something easy enough to do in an evening.

I looked through the big box of Heroclix I keep around for conversion parts and found a Clayface with a cape that fit Dredd pretty well (It even had upraised shoulders for Dredd's shoulder pads), carved off Dredd's badge and made an over-the-top comic style Luna 1 badge.  I can't freehand paint very well, but the Luna 1 logo on his cape is good enough for tabletop view.  I tried painting the eagle as well but it was such a mess I just painted over it.

Then I made a base, used a pin vise to drill into Dredd's foot and the base and pinned/glued him down.

Below is my Luna 1 Dredd and the original Heroclix Dredd.





And Dredd in action, well post action as the perp is already on a holding post waiting for a pat wagon.



More conversions as I do them.  Probably work on some citizens next.

Missed this one when you posted. Really liking the scene! Any pics of the whole 'board'? The scenery looks  nicely done!

I'll second that - nice conversion, and I like the terrain too. Where did the wall behind the Judge and the Perp come from? The sign is fantastic - Guns, Ammo, Armour, and Liquor, at any time of the day or night. Besides snacks, what else could you possibly need?
