Converted Figures from the Judge Dredd Rulebook

In the appendix of the Judge Dredd and the Worlds of 2000 AD rulebook are character record sheets for four pre-generated Judges who can be used as player characters or NPCs. I decided that I wanted to use them in my Judge Dredd campaign as NPCs. I own an extensive collection of 28-32mm 2000 AD miniatures so I decided to convert four of them to represent these four NPCs. These are all rank:5 (5d6) starting characters and I have tried to match them as close as possible to their illustrations in the rulebook.

At the far left is Med Judge Clayton Halsey, a clumsy clone who always tries to impress. Grown as a clone, all Clayton Halsey has known is the Academy of Law. His fellow cadets and Judges are his family and like all Judges, he is fiercely loyal in his belief and commitment. He was assigned to become a Med Judge despite his inner dream of being a Street Judge. He sometimes battles his own inner self who still resents the fact that he isn't on the streets cleaning Mega City One up, as opposed to having to patch and seal up Judges who are incompetent enough to get hurt in the line of duty. He knows that if he was walking the streets he wouldn't end up on the slab half as much as some of the Judges he regularly attends to. These feelings cause him anxiety at times as he struggles between his fierce loyalty and belief, and his inner anger and resentment. He is, however, very good at his job and often seems to put himself in harm's way to help fellow Judges, although that may be more so he has an excuse to get into a fight himself, satisfying his inner turmoil.
Next in line is Psi Judge Sera Devi, an inspiring human who cannot tell a lie. Sera Devi showed psychic aptitude from the day she was recruited into the Academy of Law aged 5. However, until she was 16, it seemed to be nothing more than just a minor talent she could use to make others see her in a more positive light. It wasn't until a jealous classmate attempted to frame her for cheating in a test that her powers truly blossomed, allowing her to see and share the truth of the matter with her superiors who discovered she was incapable of telling a lie.

Second from the right is Street Judge Jessica Morris, an athletic human who collects antiques. Judge Jessica Morris, has in her short time on the streets of Mega City One, become feared by the local street gangs in her assigned sector. This has been mostly achieved through an uncompromising attitude and liberal use of her Daystick. As a cadet she always excelled in the Applied Violence classes and as a rookie was assigned to Judge Ocks. Ocks, while young for a Senior Judge, was well known within in the Justice Department for using his formidable physical strength in confrontations with perps. Unsurprisingly, his rookie has followed his example in becoming a scourge for the city's street thugs. Judge Morris is currently awaiting reassignment having successfully tracked down a kidnapping gang operating in the sector. While it is possible she has brought all those perps to justice, she is almost certain that some of the gang escaped and she is currently on the lookout for any leads that may bring them within her grasp.
Finally, is Tek Judge Terence Novak, an erudite human who collects celebrity gossip. Tek Judge Terence Novak showed an aptitude for mechanics early on. After he dismantled and alphabetically arranged the components of every single electronic item in their home, his parents sought counselling, and Terence was immediately removed to the custody of the Justice Department to be trained as a Tek Judge. Cadet Novak  received a commendation when he used his mechanical skills to assist noted Judge Jack in the arrest of a disaffected cadet who attempted to destroy the academy with an improvised explosive device. Since becoming a qualified Tek Judge, Novak has not missed an opportunity to remind his peers of his achievement, a habit that has not made him popular with his fellow Judges,
Med Judge Halsey was the most complex conversion as he started life as a Tex City Judge, so I had to replace his Stetson hat and shoulder pads. Psi Judge Sera was a very simple conversion. All I did was add a Lawgiver Pistol to her left hand. Street Judge Morris had a sex change from male to female and I added her Daystick. As for Tek Judge Novak, he was simply a spare Tek Judge I had, so no conversion work was needed on him. All four of these figures were originally produced by Warlord Games but are now sadly out of production. I enjoyed converting them. I am now happily creating my own cast of Judges, Perps and Citizens for my Judge Dredd campaign. I can't wait to make a start on it.
