Improved Judge Dredd H-Wagon

It's hard to believe that I made my original Judge Dredd H-Wagon over 5 years ago.

With my upcoming Savage Dredd game I thought it was high time I fixed some of the issues with model and gave it a bit of a revamp.

This, as always, is a work in progress and with that intent I have made the build a little bit more modular.  I assume that the Justice Department buys these in based on a standard pattern and then adds on whatever gizmos it needs as the circumstances dictate.  

The main H-Wagon body is now longer with thrusters underneath and I added a central recess for a magnetised weapon hardpoint such as the included riot foam cannon turret.  A sonic cannon is in the works as we speak.  The two gunner cupolas are now printed as seperate files with little recesses for them to fit into.  

The whole front of the H-Wagon is printed as a separate piece allowing the model to be printed without supports.  The entire model has been rescaled to fit my 15mm Judges (aka laserburn lawmen)

I have plans for a different front end to make the H-Wagon even longer with a stylized eagle.

I'm making this available for download exclusively on Cults 3D for the meagre sum of 3 Euros (God, I sound like the Mighty Boosh)

Enjoy 

Judge Dredd 15mm Block Buildings

The internet never fails to amaze me and after 15 or so years of writing this blog and essentially shouting into the void...

the void shouted back.

Facebook 15mm Dredd Wargaming Community

As I was doom scrolling through facebook I chanced upon a picture posted by the very talented sculptor  Nikki Chatwin of Sprue Goblin Games.  Nikki had posted some pics of his latest project 15mm Fatties and authentic looking fatties are one of those minis that I struggle to find.

Nikki is also behind the Megacity 15 Facebook group dedicated to 15mm Judge Dredd wargaming. After reaching out it seems that Nikki had seen some of my posts and played a small part in his obsession with 15mm scale Judge Dredd wargaming,  So at least one person reads this blog.

I honestly can't wait for Nikki to finish those fatty sculpts but in the meantime some of her work is available for sale via Ramshackle Games.  I love her sulpts so picked myself up some Chaos Judicars and Sector NG15 Civilians.

2mm Modular Foamboard Connectors - thing:7120315 

With my new Judge Dredd campaign slated for October I really need to get a wiggle on writing it and building some interesting terrain pieces for the players to interact with.  The objective is to create some lightweight flat packable buildings which can be easily transported to my regular Friday game group at  Dragons Keep Roleplay Club. 

I was inspired by these nifty Parametric foamcore connectors which I found on Thingiverse, but I wanted something that would work with my material of choice, 2mm ABS board, be very low profile and have a dark gothic style.  So I designed these 90 degree, T junction and X Junction connectors.

These are quite small prints so I recommend printing them out on a resin 3D printer, However, being so small you can absolutely fill a build plate and you are pretty much done.  I've made a separate file of larger 5mm Foam Core Connectors if you want to make buildings in a larger scale

15mm Flatpack Building Facades - SVG File

I also designed a few building facades as vector files which can be sent to my laser cutter for etching.  If you don't have a laser cutter these can be easily knocked up by hand with a sharp knife and a steel ruler.  Once I have perfected them I will offer them as a download here.

PROG UPDATE

As with everything I do on this blog it is a work in progress.  I spent a morning finishing up the first of the building SVG files (hopefully more to come) and you can download the file for free below:
