Painted Previews Pop Up For Warlord Games’ Judge Dredd
October 14, 2019 by brennon
Warlord Games has been showing off a few more painted previews of what you can expect when the Judge Dredd game hits tabletops later this year. A few more scenes of characters and crims in Mega-City One showed up over the last few days.
The first preview I saw that caught my eye showed off Dredd himself wandering the streets, potentially about to get ambushed by a gnarly looking gangbanger! I love that they've kept that comically exaggerated jawline going with Dredd in these miniatures, a nice reminder of his comic book origins.
There was also another Judge wandering around that might cause a few problems for the law in the city. Here we have Judge Death exclaiming to the heavens and no doubt cackling about his latest evil plan.
The world of Judge Dredd has always been a fascinating one but it pretty much passed me by. Apart from the recent Karl Urban film, there isn't much that I know about it although it is clear that it's a firm favourite with a lot of wargamers.
One thing that I do like with what Warlord have been doing here is that they have taken these classic characters and updated them with appropriately modern sculpts. Yes, the weirdness still continues across the board but it's done in a new and stylish way.
I think may would agree that these Fatties above as an example are much better than their older counterparts out there on the market.
I look forward to seeing what else Warlord have up their sleeve for Judge Dredd and it will be nice to see how much has evolved from Strontium Dog into this.
What do you think?

Man, the Dredd model looks amazing. Death is none too shabby either
I love the Mean Machine Angel stalking Dredd in the background.
Can’t wait to see a clear picture of that.
The Fatties look great as well.
Not too keen on the Death mini, but it might look better in another picture.
Looking forward to this. The SD game is very good, but I prefer the Dredd storyline.
Great looking new figures, could that be mean machine from the angle family that’s about to attack Dredd?
Very, very nice paintjobs
Looking forward to Dredd. It cant come soon enough.
I regretted not picking up the fatties when Warlord released the Mongoose ones, I’ll not be caught out this time.
Looking forward to this I liked the strontium dog game. Not sure I like the more upto date lawmaster bike but I guess the older version has been done. The fatties look a lot better than the old models but I hope to still use my older figures for this game
I HEAR YOU BROTHER. I’ve been going on about the fact they should have done the ORIGINAL Lawmaster (complete with Cyclops Lazer), but these heretics here actually like the new one (although it looks like the one out of the Stallone movie), they even did “flying” Lawmasters in that movie as well (which is why NOTHING from that movie should ever be reproduced in miniature form.
For all the “goodness” of the original Lawmaster look here (and then tell me the new one looks better 😀 )

The model you linked to is pretty good. I didnt twig that the new one looks like the movie version. I assume thats how it looks in comics now? The thing I always liked about Dredd is they have never rebooted him. He has aged in the last forty years so it makes sense his equipment will be upgraded as in real life. His original lawgiver was a bit silly with the dial on the gun so I didnt mind the new version. Not a fan of the later bike though, still prefer the original.
So hyped for this. Hopefully it has more press around it after release. I love Strontium Dog but felt Warlord built a lot of hype round it, released it and forgot about it. You only hear bout new minis being released for it.
