About Me

A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

Finished: Riot Control Judges (and a couple of Lawmasters)

 

And that's the first three figures from Wave 1 of the Block Wars expansion done and dusted. As mentioned on Wednesday, I took the opportunity to also paint two Lawmaster bikes which had been sitting primed in the drawer for over a year.


Riot Control Judges





The Riot Control Division is made up of Judges who don't make the grade for Street Division, but have the necessary qualities and aptitude for dealing with the frequent riots and block wars that occur in Mega City One.

The one without a riot shield is armed with a riot foam dispenser - the foam hardens rapidly, trapping anybody caught in it allowing them to be cut free, arrested and sent to the Iso Cubes when the riot has been dealt with. The other two are in assault mode; one with a disrupter gun (which temporarily* disrupts the target's nervous system), the other with the ubiquitous Daystick.

I will admit to being a little confused as to why Warlord didn't sculpt them with Lawgiver pistols, which they should all have as back-up weapons.

Lawmasters

Somewhat over a year ago I painted up the Cadet Judge and SJS Judge Gerhart models, including riding pose for the latter (I'd lost one of the arms for the riding pose Cadet, so it's still un-primed) but not the Lawmaster bikes from their packs. They had been primed, just not painted for some reason.

I'm not happy with the headlights and tail lights on the Lawmasters - I might go back and repaint those at some point.

  1. Ha, those Lawmasters will fill the Perps with Dredd! I, too, think someone goofed up not giving Lawgivers to the RCJ's! - Is it too late to scratch build some?

    1. Cheers! Possibly a bit too late to do that, and I can live with the figures as they are. :)
      I think they might have similarly goofed on some of the other Judge models they've done - will have to check.

    2. Yeh, I, too would not bother modifying those figures, especially after your stellar paint job! - No-one will notice, I imagine!!!

    3. I've checked the figures I have and found five where they've made a booboo.
      In the Street Judges pack, the ones with the Lawrod and Widowmaker both have boot holsters, but they're empty.
      Three of the Specialist Judges (Psi, Med and Tek) are all missing boot holsters and Lawgivers).

    4. Yikes, that is awfully careless of the design team, 10 years in the cubes, I say!

  2. Great work on all Tamsin, oversights like that have to make you laugh. as for the taillights you could add a lyer of the GW gem paint over the top, it will give it the relevant shine, if you add a lot more white to the headlight, the blue gemstone paint might work there as well

    1. Thanks! I think for the bike lights I just need to push the contrast a bit further. :)

    1. Thanks! :)
      I got the acrylic bases from Sarissa Precision. The larger base is 70mm x 25mm, the smaller one is 50mm x 25mm.
