Hit The Streets With More Of Warlord’s Judge Dredd Vehicle Kits
April 1, 2020 by brennon
Warlord Games has added two new vehicle kits into the works for those delving into the world of 2000AD and Judge Dredd. These vehicles are more than just decoration and terrain and can actually be used in-game. We start with a peek at the Sportster!
In the far future, there is still call for vehicles with wheels on them rather than just relying on the advent of anti-gravity technology!
"Anti‐Gravity technology is common in the 22nd century and has revolutionised transportation allowing vehicles to ‘skim’ or fly for short distances. Not all citizens of the Mega-City have subscribed to this reinvention of mass transportation and continue to employ the zany yesteryear practices of sticking wheels on their cars and sticking to the ground."
I think this looks rather funky indeed and would make a great piece of terrain to hide behind when gangs of miscreants are trying to gun you down. With the right modifications, it might also make for a good way for your gang to get around too, perhaps with one of them leaning out of the window firing wildly?
Moving from the flashy to the chunky we also have the Utility Truck which, if you've seen any crime movies, could be used to ramraid a building so you can steal what's inside!
This kit even comes with a bunch of advertising stickers which you can plaster to the side. Even in the far future, people still get suckered in by that! This is a big vehicle which can hold eight passengers and perhaps give you more options when moving around the streets of Mega-City One.
"Although Grav technology is prevalent throughout Mega-City one, there nevertheless still exists the need to have some wheels on the ground, such is the vastness of the megalopolis.
Such vehicles can prove an impromptu tool in the heat of battle. Though relatively slow in comparison to some of the transports in Mega-City One, the utility truck provides some safety to its passengers as they manoeuvre into the thickest of the fighting (or flee, if they’ve got any sense!)."
Stick a few gang markings along the side of this and you're set to play around with a looted vehicle which will cause all manner of problems for the Judges!
Are you tempted to add these into your collection?

very nice if a little Tonka toyish.
Is there a reason why the miniatures look so different to the packaging graphics? The packaging graphics seem in keeping with a near dystopian future a la Judge Dredd, whereas the miniatures look somewhat matchbox in style.
The Judge Dredd movie was more like the comics than Dredd movie. You can paint them up either way depending on how you want to represent the Big Meg.
I appreciate the reply but i think it would take more than a paint job to make the miniatures look like the packaging graphics.
It’s very much in the comic style. These are also cards, not packages. The profiles for the vehicles are also in the rulebook, so you can use whatever model you like to represent them, so it fits your taste.
I take it you mean that the miniatures are very much in the comic style? Noted: cards not packaging. I went to the website to look at packaging graphics for other products and the packaging graphics are in the style of the card graphics. The difference between the card and packaging graphics versus the miniatures is the same across the range of vehicle miniatures i looked at, but not across the range of judges and other biped miniatures i looked at, for which the packaging matches the miniatures more closely. Given that the packaging is enclosed (as far as i… Read more »
Well… the art on the cards is really a bit to different from the model in my book :S
They are meant to be generic vehicles, you can use whatever models you want. I guess that’s why the card art is also more generic.
I really like the sportster… It really captures the look of the 2000ad comics!
As soon as the mail services are back to normal, THIS TRUCK IS MINE!!!
