The Wargaming World of Nozza

This blog entry has been inspired by three things. Firstly, the release of the "When Nightmares Come", "a skirmish wargame for investigating and battling the supernatural mysteries of the modern world". Secondly, a story in the Judge Dredd Case Files 44, where Dredd and Judge Anderson investigate a ghostly Judge seeking revenge from beyond the grave. Thirdly, I have a sizeable collection of Mongoose Judge Dredd figures. As a result, I've put together a 'Nightwatch' team. In my canon, the team is part of the Psi Division and is responsible for investigating supernatural reports. The team is made up of a Tech Judge (Wright in game terms), Exorcist Judge (Weaver in game terms) and two Street Judges (Wardens in game terms).

'When Nightmares Come' is a recently released miniatures wargame about modern day monster hunting and occult investigation.  The game requires three levels of 'Dark Spawn' (think monsters). Vermin - Have a Free Move and 1D6 Action and have one trait. Hordes - Have a Free Move and 2D8 Actions and have two traits. Terrors - Have a Free Move and 3D10 Actions and have three traits. Depending on where you are in your campaign, you will face a mixture of Dark Spawn. Ultimately, the Dark Spawn are led by a leader called an Atrocity and you face the Atrocity in the final game. Anyway, given the game is miniatures agnostic, I've been going through my collection to find some suitable figures to use. My Atrocities L to R, Vermin, Horde, Terror Last up are Alphas. These are like a 'mini-boss' and appear in Game 3 (a D6 Alpha and a D8 Alpha) and in Game 5 (D8 Alpha and D10 Alpha). They have two wounds and different traits from the standard Dark Spawn.
