In this and the next post I'm going to review the largest Mega City One street gang I've shown you so far (note that I do have much bigger gangs just waiting to be showcased). This particular gang is called the Apathetic Anarchists, who are led by Major Apathy. They originally appeared in my Gangs of Mega City One campaign, where they performed very averagely. Plus, they were a lot smaller back then. I have more than doubled their numbers to use in my Judge Dredd Miniatures Game. To start with, I'll showcase the leader, heavy weapons perps and the juves. Next post will feature the rank and file punks who make up the bulk of the gang.
At the far left is Major Apathy, the gang's leader. This figure was originally produced by Mongoose Publishing as a street gang Top Dog, but when Warlord Games took over the production of the range, they made him the leader of a Cursed Earth Desperadoes gang. Either way, he's still a great figure for a gang leader. He is armed with a Sawed-Off Stump Gun Rifle and a Spit Pistol and he wears Leather Armour. In JDMG he is a Level:4 Punk Infantry Hero with the following five Talents - Brave, Die Hard, Inspire, Luck of Grud and Nerves of Steel. He is worth 190 Credits.
The next three figures were produced by Warlord Games and these are the heavy weapons specialists of the gang. Standing next to Major Apathy is Eric Ennui. You'll soon notice that their names are all synonyms for the word "Apathetic". Eric is armed with a Heavy Spit Gun and he wears Leather Armour. He is a Level:1 Punk Infantry Hero with the Brave and On Their Knees Talents. He is worth 150 Credits.
Third in line is the second-in-command of the gang, Lance Languor. He is armed with the gang's most powerful and expensive weapon, a Laser Cannon. He wears Padded Armour. He is a Level:2 Punk Infantry Hero with the Talents, Accurate, Brave and On Their Knees. He is worth 195 Credits, just slightly more than Major Apathy.
Finally, is Eric's elder brother, Ernie Ennui. He wields a Missile Launcher that fires Armour Piercing Missiles. He also wears Leather Armour. Like his brother, he is also a Level:1 Punk Infantry Hero. His two Talents are Accurate and Brave. He is worth 135 Credits.
At the opposite end of the scale are the Juves. These are essentially cannon fodder, but if they survive long enough they will progress to Punk status. At the far left is Drew Drab, who is a very old figure, originally produced by Citadel Miniatures for the Judge Dredd Role Playing Game by Games Workshop. He is armed with a Handgun Pistol and is equipped with a couple of spray cans of paint. This, of course, means he is a Scrawler, a 22nd Century term for a graffiti artist. To be honest, I could have included him in any one of a number of gangs but I decided to include him as a member of the Apathetic Anarchists. He is a Level:0 Juve Infantry Minion worth a measly 25 Credits.
The remaining three figures were produced by Warlord Games and all are Level:0 Juve Infantry Minions. Second from the left is Norman Numb who is armed with a Handgun Pistol and a Knife. He is also worth 25 Credits.
Second from the right is Brian Bland, another Juve armed with a Handgun Pistol and a Knife. He, too, is worth 25 Credits.
Finally, is Jaded James, who is armed with a Handgun Pistol and a Club. Unsurprisingly, he also costs 25 Credits.
Major Apathy and the three heavies should give the Judges a good fight but I don't expect any of the Juves to survive their first fight.

Ah how I miss the '70's ... and my hair !!!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Phil. I only partly agree with you about missing the 70's but i definitely agree with you about missing my hair!
DeleteDrokk! What a bunch of Perps. Typical of some parts of MC1. Low level crime leading on to more serious stuff. I feel a Block war brewing. All it takes is a gang like these to pick on the wrong Citi Defence guy and KABOOOM! Instant block war.
ReplyDeleteYou're not wrong, Clint. Funny you should mention the Citi-Defence guys. They're coming soon.
DeleteIt was only a matter of time before you did the heroic (and troublesome) citi defence!
DeleteIndeed you are right again, Clint. Interestingly enough, I have a number of Citi-Def squads. A battle between some of them does seem inevitable.
DeleteGreat figures and great paint jobs. How do you find the time?
ReplyDeleteOhh yeah. 70's styled block war. Tell me that's coming.
Thanks, Tim. A lot of the figures I'm showing in these posts were painted years ago. I've been collecting Judge Dredd figures since the 1980's!
DeleteA block war? That could well feature in the future. JDMG does have rules for it and I have enough figures to make it a reality.
Great looking gang Bryan, even though they are all different they tie in together really well.
ReplyDeleteBlock war you say ! Now that's a multi part post you'd have to read, I can already see me sat waiting for the next post eagerly anticipating what happens next
Many thanks, Dave. The block war will happen but not for a while. Most likely it'll be in the summer after I get my Battle Systems Sci-fi terrain sets. But in the meantime, there will still be much to enjoy, including lots more batreps.
DeleteThat's a good thing Bryan, as I have far too much work to do at the moment to sit infront of the computer hitting refresh every 5 minutes hoping for the next instalment ! LOL My visits at the moment average 5 times a day to see if there's any new posts or comments, I may have an addiction there ! ;)
DeleteHa, ha! That sounds similar to me. I'm always checking my posts for new comments and other posts as well, repeatedly. It must be an addiction!
DeleteYou'll have to start your block war with the dropping of an ice cream cone on a citizens head - its customary
DeleteMelda Dreep sure has a lot to answer for. I actually have a figure of her, made by Citadel in the 1980's.
DeleteThese are fab some of my favourites out the entire range. Lovely paint jobs on them all. Really like the graffiti artist he is my favourite out of this batch.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely comment, Simon. I do like the graffiti artist as well. I'd love to get hold of some more Scrawlers.
DeleteSo that's what "Banksy" looks like! lock the prep away, that ain't art in my opinion!
ReplyDeleteMajor Apathy is my favourite, but he still needs sending to the cubes!
Cheers Roger.
Ooops should read perp of course.
DeleteSee, that's why so few people have seen Banksy. He keeps jumping off to MC1 in his time machine!
DeleteMajor Apathy is a very cool figure. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before he's doing cube time!
Awesome stuff Bryan, and what a corking concoction of colours you've created with these perps. You must have gone through most of your paint pots with these minis.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Simon. They certainly are a colourful gang, although not so much as my Rainbow Raiders that I showed awhile back.
DeleteMy fave? The scrawler definitely. Great bunch of ne'er do wells Bryan!
ReplyDeleteCheers. Andy. Another vote for the Scrawler. he's proving a popular choice.
DeleteDrew Drab looks like Dick Lucas of the Subhumans. Just give him a pair of specs and he's spot on.
ReplyDeleteFantastic work mate on some sweet sculpts. These are MC1 thru and thru.
Thanks, Dai. I'm sorry but I have no idea who Dick Lucas or the Subhumans are but I'll happily take your word for it.
DeleteThey certainly do scream MC1, don't they?
Dick Lucas was in an old punk rock band way back in the 80`s. I saw them perform back at the Corn Exchange in Cambridge and at The Pavilion in West Runton. Hmmmm, how to describe them, raw, rough and ready lol.
ReplyDeleteLink to them below)

Wow, what a complete collection of Judge Dredd. Oooh, a new comic book format AND a new campaign. All good stuff and well done Bryan, you always said you wanted to do this, and now you have woohoo!!!.... top shelf stuff. Really nicely done :))
Thanks for that info, Steve. I thought they were comic book characters! D'oh!
DeleteThese are exciting times for fans of 2000AD and Judge Dredd. There is lot happening that I'm sure you're unaware of. Watch this space!
