Sector 13 Street Judges 02

Regular readers of this blog will know by now that I am naming certain Judges from Sector 13, the setting of my upcoming Judge Dredd campaign, after fellow bloggers who regular comment on my two blogs. So far, I have covered all those who featured in my last campaign based on the Judge Dredd Miniatures Game skirmish wargames rules. Since then I have acquired two very loyal followers who are both regulars in the comments section of my two blogs - Frank O'Donnell and John aka Vagabond. So, I asked them if they'd like NPCs named after them in my new campaign and both agreed. So I present to you Street Judges John Bond (a mash up of John and Bond from Vagabond) and Frank O'Donnell.
At the left is John Bond, a human rugged MC1 Judge who suffers from dyslexia. Note, it was John's decision to have his Judge be dyslexic, not mine. It is certainly an interesting and brave choice! John made a lasting friendship with fellow Judge Frank O'Donnell when both were Rookie Judges in the same class. He became a Street Judge in 2117, a year after Chief Judge McGruder resigned for the second and final time and was replaced by Judge Adrian Volt. Judge Bond has worked the streets of Sector 13 for the past 12 years, serving loyally and with distinction. Despite many efforts by his tutors and peers he still suffers from word blindness resulting in his dyslexia. Judge Bond is a rank grade 7 Street Judge with a 6d6 dice pool. His figure was the very last figure I bought from Wargames Foundry's 2000 AD range, a week before they stopped selling this range. He is meant to be another variant of Judge Dredd but I prefer him as a standard Street Judge.
At the right is Frank O'Donnell, a tough as nails human MC1 Judge who misses the golden age of cinema. During his Rookie training, Frank became highly proficient with the Daystick, after taking two Applied Violence courses. As a Rookie he befriended fellow student John Bond, and they pledged to help and defend each other to the bitter end, no matter what they did. As a consequence, their Judge Tutors made sure they were partnered together when they passed their Full Eagle day to be assigned to Sector 13 as Street Judges. They work extremely well together with a deep understanding of how each other will react in any given situation that has been honed with years of experience. Like John, Frank is a rank grade 7 Street Judge with a 6d6 dice pool. His figure is an old Warlord Games Street Judge with Daystick.
I hope Frank and John approve of their Judges and I hope they go on to have long and distinguished careers in my campaign.

  1. Great painting on these two new judges added to the ranks Bryan, the back stories are your normal high standard, and admire John's choice to have the character to have dyslexia

    1. Very much appreciated, Dave. I think both Judges will be useful assets in Sector House 13. I, too, admire John's dyslexic quirk for his character.

  2. Well first off let me say I'm chuffed Bryan :) I'm sorry I didn't come back to you with some input but real life got in the way a bit, that said I'm in no way sorry about the back story you've come up with for my character I got a good laugh when I read about him missing the Golden age cinema lol

    Thanks you very much for this & here's to hoping I don't die first time out :)

    1. That has made me so happy, Frank. The idea for your quirk came about because of your wonderful blog, which mainly concentrates on Pulp cinema productions. It seemed very appropriate for you.
      Don't worry, I have no plans for killing off any of my named Judge PCs... and certainly not first time out!

    Cheers Bryan, he looks a really hard case, just like myself ;) I look forward to seeing him kicking ass in your campaign. Presumably Judges do kick ass?

    1. Ha, ha, ha! Thank you so much for that very amusing dyslexic comment, John.

      Judges most certainly do kick ass... Street Judges especially! I think you and Frank are going to be a good combo.
