Drokk the Law!! - Part XVIII

Following on from our last entry, here are all three Kleggs painted! 

Yes, still using the Necromunda tile, that should be remedied soonish if everything goes according to plan, anyway. I'm still lukewarm on the now-defunct Warlord 2000AD line, but these Kleggs are quite nice and even the nasty siocast mold-lines don't show up too badly with Contrast paints and wetbrushing. I also got a set of Fatties that I'll get onto when I can. These models are also huge, bigger than a GW Ogryn, they tower over even my GW kitbash Punks and other more recent models, not to mention Andy's classic GW Dredd range. I like it for the visual impact, though it can make for some comical pictures of games. 

I have also finally started painting my Mercenaries with a view to eventually playing a campaign either at NWA or Across the Board. Here is an old Void civilian that I gave a new base to better suit my JDMG stuff. He can be either a Punk or Juve with handgun (armour optional) making him a 30-40 Credit Mercenary, a good basic inclusion for campaign games. The Kleggs themselves can be Mercenaries, though more in the 200 credit range, so probably not going to see the table all that often. 

Speaking of Mercenaries, until my terrain arrives, they're coming more into my focus for JDMG, as I've painted most of my gangs now and am simply expanding when I get the chance. Although most of them need painting, I can cross a few off the list I posted a few months ago;

Bat Burglar (80)
Fattie (60-100)
Futsie (10ish)

Juve (10-60)
Juve Jimp (90)
Klegg (190+)
Klegghounds (100)
Lone Vigilante (500)
Punk (~95)
Pyrokinetic (225)
Robodoc (50)
Robodog (30)
Sky Surfer (100)
Vid Reporter (25)
Agent (95-300)
Combat Droid (~500)
Gorilla Gangster (125)
Street Judge (150-300)
Chimp (50-75)
Citi-Def Soldier (100-200)
Mutant (20-110)
Wally Squad Judge (100-200)
Assassination Droid (195) 

A few of these options, like the Punks, Juves and Vigilantes, I'll make a several at different credit values just to have a variety, and this gives me expansions for existing gangs as well. So even though I've crossed them off, expect to see a few more pop up as this project progresses. There are also some Chimps, Fusties and a Sky Surfer or two on the work bench on in transit via post, but I won't be counting those until they're here and at least able to be put on a table. 

I don't want to give too much about my terrain away (though observant readers may have spotted a trash pile in the last part of this series), but I have some ideas and some kits en route, so we should see some progress soon. What I do want to do is get some 2000AD-specific imaging and references in there if I can, which at this stage is likely going to be in the form of 3D printed vehicles, graffiti and hopefully some Boing if my plans for realising it work out. Hopefully some more gangs on the way too, if I can find the models I'm looking for.
