Judges on Lawmaster Bikes 01

The standard issue transportation for a Judge, the Lawmaster bike is as iconic as the helmet and Lawgiver. A common ( and not always welcome, if you are a lawbreaker) sight on the streets, skedways, megways and Xpressways of Mega City One, the Lawmaster is a high performance, high endurance, high technology vehicle and weapon system rolled into one. Every Judge is allocated a Lawmaster as part of his standard equipment and, naturally enough, the Academy of Law has taught him what he needs to know to get the best out of the bike.
These bikes and Judges were produced by Warlord Games and represent the Mk.I Lawmaster Bike. Mounted on two of the Lawmasters are my personal player characters for my upcoming campaign, Street Judges Bryan Scott and Nicki Huntsman. These are conversions with the upper bodies of the two named Judges glued to the legs of the bike's seated Judges.
The Lawmaster bike at the far right may be used when a Judge dismounts. I would really liked to have acquired more than one of these but I missed out. Note that all of the bikes are glued to 25mm by 75mm bases with rounded corners, which gives you a fair idea of just how long they are.
These three figures feature generic unnamed Street Judges in a variety of poses. Two have drawn their Lawgiver pistols. The Judge at the far right is firing his Lawgiver.
The Judge at the far right has both hands on the bikes throttles as he concentrates solely on driving.
I am a huge fan of these bikes and figures. They look big and intimidating and faithfully represent the very popular Mk.I bike. It is a shame these are no longer available. That said, I am very excited to see that Warlord Games will be producing the sleeker looking Mk.III Lawmaster bike for their new skirmish wargame.

  1. Great work on the Mark 1's Bryan, it's a very iconic bike which sadly the two movies failed to do justice ! Looking forward to the MK 3's being available as well

    1. Thank you most kindly, Dave. I do agree that the movie bikes failed to do justice to them.

    1. Many thanks, Frank. Yes, he will! Every Judge is assigned his or her own bike. Any one of the above three unnamed Judges could be Judge O'Donnell.
