Judgement Day Project: #34 Citi-Def Pvt. Raimi

[cheetor]

Brilliant!
I love that figure

Thanks Mason

Red is oddly iconic and that sculpt is right up with the very best ones in that thirty year old range.  Its definitely a favourite of mine and it was a pleasure to finally get around to painting it.

So much so that I really fancy trying to sculpt something similar....

Mutants with a Cursed Earth vibe are always of interest to me... are you planning to go for another guy with a chicken head or a guy with... something else for a head

Haha! What a crackhead miniature! 

It is a funny sculpt.  Red takes himself very seriously however, just a seriously as any giant robot seahorse rustler

Great work!!

[Mr Saturday]

This week see the final addition to the dark judges, Deadworld's chief judge, Judge Death. He's probably my favourite Dredd villian, and he's dropped enough one liners over the years to show that he's definitely got more of a sense of humour in him than his brothers. It's probably the rictus grin. His recent outing in 'Dreams of Deadworld' portrays him in a much grimmer light, but still, he's ma boy.



This sculpt of Judge Death is TINY. He and his lieutenants are 25mm really, but it's still my favourite sculpt of the dark judge's leader. He was quite straightforward to paint, even if I kept finding parts of the model I'd missed sorting during cleanup. Nothing like taking a file to an almost painted mini. With Judge Death finished, that completes my dark judge project. I'll no doubt pick up the Mongoose spirit forms, and probably the Foundry versions too, but that's for another day. Next up I think it's time I took a crack at an actual judge. Judge Williams, to be precise. Bruce Campbell's block judge.

[Mason]

Smooth!
I love ol' Death too, so that is at least two of us that love the evil bastard.
 

And I dunno how I missed it earlier, but that is the best Judge Fire I have ever seen.
Simply stunning!

Thanks Mason, very kind of you!

[Andym]

Oh Wow! I love that! I'm now even more jealous of your collection! Whats next on the painting table?

[Mr Saturday]

Thanks Andym, next up is judge Williams, block judge for Bruce Campbell Block.

[von Lucky]

Lovely painting from both of you in this thread (skimming through the 12 pages).

Title block just needs to be updated on the Dark Judges to include Death.

[Andym]

Thanks Andym, next up is judge Williams, block judge for Bruce Campbell Block.

Bruce Campbell block? Is there going to be guys running around, missing one hand, replacing it with chainsaws and carrying shotguns?

[Mr Saturday]

Maybe. Judge Williams is most definitely carrying a shotgun.

Great paintings as always Cheetor.

#27 Cursed Earth Mutant Quaid



Mr Saturday and I have been chatting and we have decided to expand the scope of this project ever so slightly.  Up until now all of the figures shown have been licensed Dredd figures of one sort or another.  We have decided to give scope to let some of the other suitable figures that we own into this project, as long as they fit in very directly.  Its a thematic tightrope, but I reckon that we can walk it



Quaid here is a rather sorry specimen but a really great little sculpt to paint.  Its an old Demonblade minature from the 90s, currently for sale from Worlds End Publishing.

I see the mutants in the Dredd setting less as monsters and more as oppressed "others", so I plan to continue in a vaguely "Spartacus" sort of vein with these mutant freedom fighters for a while.



The figure also has plenty of crossover potential for other sci-fi games, but I tend to mash all my sci-fi up anyway.

The associated blog post is here.

Mr Saturday has a groovy submission planned for next Monday as far as I know.

Thanks for looking!

[Mason]

Lovely paintjob on a nice and unusual sculpt.
Like it!
 

He blends in very well too, a good choice.
 

[Malebolgia]

Really cool! Never liked the Demonblade miniatures a lot...but your paintjob tells me that's due to the official paintjobs, because I love this one!
And what's hanging out of his side? An ass and legs?

[Elk101]

Cracking stuff. Totally agree with working in some figures from other ranges. I picked up the Citadel Don Uggi gang on ebay recently (for about £3 in the blister) and I was going to add some Reaper Bones apes for muscle. They'll also do as a mutant Supers gang. Are you planning any civilians?  Andym has a good thread running on that topic at the moment.
