I am the law!

Image
The Justice Department is in control of all law and justice in Mega-City One (which covers most of the east coast of North America). Effectively the government, the military and law enforcement all rolled up into one. The Justice Department uses 'Judges', empowered to summarily arrest, convict, sentence, and execute criminals. The most famous Judge being the aponymous Judge Dredd. Now, I've been a Judge Dredd fan for many, many years. I played Dredd themed board games back in the 80s and invested in the Mongoose Judge Dredd miniatures games back in the 2010s and have a sizeable collection of Judge Dredd miniatures from Foundry and Mongoose. I saw these Street Judges for sale from a 3D printer. Advertised as 28mm, I would say that they are on the small 28mm side.  "Squad Assemble" Here's a couple of 3D printed Judges alongside a female Judge from the old Mongoose range. Height wise, they are compatible. Mongoose, 3D Print, 3D Print Now c

The Rebellion armed forces.

Following on from a previous post where I had all my Empire troops on display. Here I have my Rebellion figures out in force (no pun intended).  Mostly based on the Rebel Commandoes seen in The Return of the Jedi, left and centre back row are from Midlam Miniatures and not available any more.  Back row right, are some Rebel Fleet Troopers designed by MrBigTong and printed by 3DKingdoms. Front row are a mixture of Stargrave, Rogue Stars and Colony 87 (I think). To be honest. I thought I had more dedicated Rebel figures, but I guess they are enough to be thorn in the Empires side!

Teal'c of Chulak

Teal'c is a character in the military Sci-Fi TV series Stargate SG-1. Teal'c is a Jaffa warrior from the planet Chulak. As a Jaffa, Teal'c is a genetically modified human with an abdominal pouch that serves as an incubator for a larval Goa'uld. Although I never watched it religiously, I have always had a fondness for Stargate SG-1. Recently, I found myself binge watching it while I was getting over a bout of Covid. Stargate SG-1 really lends itself to gaming purposes. Given the military nature of the show, there is combat but additionally there is exploration and problem solving.  What really lends itself to gaming purposes is that you never know what's on the otherside of the Stargate and this really allows you to use what's in your collection. A long time ago, I picked up the 'not' Stargate figures from Hasslefree Miniatures . Although I gamed with them, I was never truly happy with their'not Teal'c figure as it was armed two machine guns.

Defending the Republic!

For some Clone Wars era gaming, I have a set of Clone Troopers led by a Jedi in Clone armour. The Clone Troopers are WOTC plastic figures and the Jedi is a Psi Paladin from Alternative Armies.

Force users

Over the last couple of years I have been collecting lots of figures that wouldn't look out of place in the Star Wars universe. These are 'Psi Paladins' from Alternative Armies . I use them as former Jedi or 'Force' users who have some skill with a lightsabre.

My Jedi Knights

Image
Here is my little contingent of Jedi Knights. The vast majority are converted Frostgrave wizards. Also, there's a couple of Rogue Stars figures and lastly a Yoda/Grogu figure from Diehard Miniatures. All ready to take on a Droid army or to run from the Galactic Empire.

The Galactic Empire armed forces.

Here are my figures from the various branches of the armed forces of the Galactic Empire, such as the Imperial Army and Imperial Navy and the Stormtrooper Corps, as well as agencies such as Imperial Intelligence aiding the Imperial Military. The figures are from a variety of sources and have been collected over the last couple of years.
