Reinforcements & Snitches Come To Warlord’s Judge Dredd
March 6, 2016 by brennon
If you're looking for some added support on the streets of Mega City One or in this case, East Meg, then see what Warlord Games have for you to bolster your forces in Judge Dredd. We'll kick things off with the East Meg Judges...
"An East Meg Invasion Force is designed to eradicate all resistance in Mega-City One. With well-equipped and well-trained Judges, not to mention the dreaded Sentenoids, it is very much an ‘elite’ force."
I don't normally rate the Judge Dredd miniatures as I feel like they might have retained too much of the old school in their design but I really like the middle Judge here with her swaggering walk. I think she looks rather awesome.
Following on from these fellows we have the City Def Reinforcements...
"The typical view of the Citi-Def soldier is of a man who barely knows one end of a spit gun from the other and, pumped up on action vids on the Tri-D, attempts to live out his fantasies by joining the only military option open to citizens. In many cases this is remarkably accurate..."
These fellows sounds like an utter disaster for the Judges and would be funny to see playing out their idiocy in games. I particularly like the chap with the sword who looks like he'd be afraid to cut butter.
Last but not least we have the snitch known as Max Normal and one of those folks he might have grassed up.
"Max speaks in futuristic ‘streetwise’ slang and has many bizarre habits and affections. This punk on the other hand has not had much luck, having been caught and fixed to a holding post, waiting for the next Pat Wagon to pick him up."
I think they have done a great job on this little vignette and it would make for quite the awesome scenario. I'd have Max Normal spouting his nonsense as this Perp has been chained up but now things are heating up and his gang want him back.
Will the Judges get to Max in time before he gets clobbered and the gang member hits the streets again.
What do you think of these releases?

Oh wow. Those are nice! I’ve got to get into this game at some point.
That East Magacity City judge on right looks like DC character Granny Goodness from legendary Jack Kirby’s New Gods.
It’s great they are keeping up the love for JD. It’s a pretty cool game.
Being an 80s kid I like that the minis evoke that era of Dredd. The old school rules are what put me off this. They remind a little of the old Dredd rpg.
Adaptation (skirmish-level) of Starship Troopers apparently, which was written by Andy Chambers so there might be some common ground there.
