Citadel 28mm JD1 Judge Dredd on foot - Psi Judge Sane conversion

Psi-judge Sane is another of my characters, this time for the Judge Dredd RPG. The head is from a C26 Wars of the roses miniature. It was one of my first headswaps and I didn't do that good a job :(

The first lady of the Dredd-verse, it's Psi-Judge Anderson.

Laserburn project WIP13 - Justice Department vehicles

So I've finally finished these three vehicles. Here they are:

Of course they're technically 'not-quite-finished' as I should probably do some detail on the underside of the truck, and the air/raft needs its crew completing. They'll do for now though. Enjoy.

Laserburn project WIP09 - Another toy, more vehicle painting

Scouring the toy shelves of local shops recently netted discovery of this little beaut for a mere £3.50. Looking distinctly like a 15mm ground attack aerodyne, it's heading for the painting table forthwith.

It's a Matchbox sky busters 'Strato saucer'. I believe they are re-releasing it in green too, but no-doubt it will require a repaint.

I've done a bit more work on my other vehicles. As you probably saw, I had masked the side of the pat-wagon in the last post. I used a high pigment liquitex ink to darken the stripes, for a nice low contrast effect. I did similar for the Imperial warthog, using chocolate brown on khaki.

After this, I worked on some lighting effects for the pat-wagon

That's all for now.

Laserburn project WIP08 - the story so far

Here are my nice new figures in comfort trays with what's happened so far on the miniatures side.

Here is the 'Painted' tray

And here is the 'Unpainted' tray. 

I still have a largish bag of unprimed stuff that can wait for now.

These were my Salute 2014 purchases. A Governance of Technology Skorpion tank from Atenociti's workshop

And a village encounter in the form of four cheap Amera buildings, a couple of objectives from Critical Mass, and a pair of laser cut MDF buildings from Warbases.

Here's the HQ assembled.

More soon

Laserburn project WIP07 - Judge pat-wagon again

A few shots of the WIP pat-wagon, on the table at the moment

The front grille - slightly shield-like

Tamiya 4mm masking tape, and hubcaps made from the pop-out bits in the middle of an x-wing miniatures game order wheel.

More soon

Laserburn project WIP06 - Judge pat-wagons

This year's Hot Wheels releases include this splendid vehicle, which they call 'The Vanster'. It's the wrong scale (1:64) to be a 15mm van, but with a bit of work, it can be a huge truck that the Justice dept can use as a Pat-wagon. These are some 'out of the box' shots, more later

I will try to use the translucent roof

Front - will need some bars or grilles

Laserburn project WIP04 - Judges!

So my judges side project was too much fun, and I've finished them. All of them.

These are old laserburn miniatures. The riot judges truncheons did not survive over the years, but they're not necessary

Riderless and mounted bikes, a red redemptionist, a giant robot (plastic freebie), two wall-e gzg droids, the judges

Whilst in a justice-led frenzy, I pretty much finished the two judge vehicles. I think there should be some red on there too. You'll see.

chevrons from venividivici, other decals from old anime kits

The only problem with how good this 4 looks is going to be replicating it with another number if I do another one :)

Still work continues on the table.

Laserburn project WIP03 - Mercenaries and judges

As I visit shows around the country, I usually call in on the GZG stand, if not to purchase, then to pick up a couple of freebies from their 'take one' box of random 15mm. I sifted to make some elite mercenary choices.

They're pretty much finished apart from the bases, which need to be drybrushed.

I've also made a start on my judges, which I shouldn't need just yet, but will no doubt need for Tarim Towers Heist.

The vehicles are starting to take shape too.
Finally, an overview of some of the stuff getting done.

Laserburn project - WIP02 Vehicles & rebasing

The work continues. Here are some shots from the workbench.

I've purchased limited vehicles - I will probably get some more if it takes off with my players. I already have this Laserburn wagon and this Laserburn van from the original releases I bought waaay back. This Industrial transporter was a purchase from Ainsty, but I don't think they are spinning these moulds in their current incarnation.

Construction of the Patrol Truck's undercarriage

L-R Warthog, Skimmer, Patrol Truck.

So, having seen their extensive range at various shows, my first port of call was Ground Zero Games (henceforth GZG). The basic vehicle in a SF skirmish has to be the grav utility skimmer - the equivalent of a Traveller Air/Raft. So, one for my imperials, and one for the Judges. I will probably have to pick up some more for other forces (Redemption, Mercs, Commercial etc). I figured that The Judges could probably do with some sort of Patrol/Crowd control truck too, so I got one of those.

Warthog blister

The other Imperial vehicle had to be one of the splendid Warthog APC models from Atenociti's Workshop - from their Governance of Technology range.

The Judges' vehicles will be a midnight blue, the Imperials are Khaki.

I've already made inroads into the painting of miniatures too. First up, from GZG come these characterful Crusties. Whilst they don't fit exactly into the Laserburn universe, it's always good to have a random squad of aliens. These are a new paintjob.

Crusties from GZG

I've been doing a lot of rebasing too - mostly of the already-painted traveller and laserburn figures. The bases are GOLDEN clear granular gel. It's a paste, so I apply and leave to dry. It dries as a clear lumpy layer. I paint with Vallejo smokey ink, then drybrush with lighter shades of brown and grey.

Laserburn civilians

Traveller Aslan

And finally for this session. my first fully complete imperial squad.

Imperials!

More soon! Enjoy.
