Adeptus Mechanicus Project

Although I dont play Warhammer 40,000 any more I do still enjoy the setting and many of the miniatures.

To me nothing says “futuristic dark age dystopia” as much as a bunch of cyborg priests reciting canticles over their weapons and communing with the spirits of their vehicles.

Therefore last year I decided that I would put together a small force of Adeptus Mechanicus for gaming with.  I started work on the project last Xmas. Continue reading

Right Now: Death Marshals

image

This is what I am working on right now. Fiddly miniatures with lots if detail. Hopefully they will be worth it.

(I am experimenting with short posts of WIPs like this via my phone, almost like tweeting but less frequent and hopefully a lot less dull.  If they work out then great. If not then be sure to let me know.)

Judge Fire

Judge Fire

Like Judges Death, Fear and Mortis, Judge Fire is a supernatural Dark Judge.  Where Mortis shtick is a familiar-for-the-trope, accelerated necrosis thing, Fear can scare people to death and Judge Death is just plain old badass, Judge Fires raison d’etre is the barbecue of every living thing in creation.  Literally every living thing, no exceptions.  Thats commitment.

Judge Fear

NB THIS POST HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED SINCE PUBLICATION.  CHECK OUT THIS LINK FOR A FAR BETTER PAINT JOB ON A BETTER PRODUCED MODEL.

Judge Fear

Like Judge Mortis last time, Fear is a Dark Judge.  Of all of the Dark Judges he sports perhaps the most preposterous outfit, which in the context of the Dark Judges is really saying something. Continue reading

Judge Death

Judge Death

Judge Death is the leader of the Dark Judges and the archenemy of Judge Dredd and/or Judge Anderson. Continue reading

Judge Mortis

Judge Mortis

The Dark Judges are foes of Judge Dredd that hail from “Deadworld”, an Earth like planet located in another dimension.  Like Dredd they are law enforcers but the Dark Judges laws are even more draconian than Mega City Ones famously strict codes: the Dark Judges eradicate all life in order to eradicate all crime. Continue reading

Justice Department Group Shot

This is the entirety of my painted Mega City Justice Dept figures right now.

I like how they look so far.  I have a number of other Judge figures in various states of progress, but I probably wont get around to finishing them for a while yet (hobby progress is slow at the moment).  So this is the total as it stands right now.

Mega City Creeps: Jimp

Bring out the Jimp

Impersonating a Judge in Mega City One is a serious offence. Anyone illegally abusing the powers of a Judge, a “Jimp” (J-udge IMP-ersonator) can be thrown in the cubes for ten to twenty (depending on intent). Continue reading

Mega City Justice Department: Street Judges

Street Judge

Another rank and file Street Judge today, this time from Mongoose (complete with irritating piece of sand on he side of his helmet.  It has since been brushed off). Continue reading
