JDMG MC1 Perps - Cyclos Street Gang 02

Having looked at the leaders and heavy weapons team of my Cyclos street gang last time, in this post I'm reviewing the rest of the gang - the grunts. These figures are also part of the Scotia Grendel 28mm scale set of Nexus humans from their Kryomek range.
At the far left is "Fixer" Hicks, a Level:1 Punk Infantry Hero. He is well armed with a Hand Cannon Pistol, an Electro Prod and a Knife. His two talents are Accurate and Skilled and Deadly. He costs 90 Credits.
To his left is "Killer" Kane, who is a Level:0 Punk Infantry Minion. He is also armed with a Hand Cannon Pistol and he costs 50 Credits.
In the centre of this group is "Mad Dog" Dallas, a Level:0 Punk Infantry Minion. He is armed with a Spit Pistol. He costs 50 Credits.
Second from the right is "Bitchin" Ripley, who is a Level:1 Punk Infantry Hero. She carries a Hand Cannon Pistol and an Electro Prod. Her starting talents are Accurate and Luck of Grud. She costs 85 Credits.
At the far right is "Woolly" Lambert, a Level:0 Punk Infantry Minion. Her only weapon is a Hand Cannon Pistol. She costs 50 Credits.
These final four figures are all cheap Level:0 Punk Infantry Minions. At the far left is "Bad Boy" Brett who is armed with a Handgun Pistol and an Electro Prod. He costs 40 Credits.
Standing next to him is "Jiz" Spunkmeyer, whose only weapon is a Handgun Pistol. He costs 30 Credits.
Next in line is "Fingers" Bishop, whose weapons are a Handgun Pistol and a Club. He costs 35 Credits.
Finally, crouching down, is "Azza" Newt, whose nickname was shortened from "pissed as a newt!" She is armed with a Handgun Pistol and a Knife and she costs 35 Credits.
This is a large gang, made up of 18 figures. They are extremely well armed but their total lack of armour means they'll suffer casualties very quickly. A small force of Judges, like Judge Scott's team, ought to be able to take them out relatively easily but not without picking up a few wounds. I'm looking forward to seeing how the Cyclos gang fares on the tabletop.

  1. The rest of the gang looks great Bryan, so is this the next group the judges will be facing, or is it the robot revolution ?

    1. Thanks, Dave. I haven't decided who my Judges will be facing next but it won't be a big group because I'll only be using a few Judges.

  2. The grunts are just as impressive as their seniors Bryan and really fill out the gang well.
    If the Cyclos keep themselves in cover, the Judges will have their work cut out getting through what could be a serious hail of incoming fire!

    1. Much appreciated, Greg. You are spot on regarding the use of cover. It is so important in a firefight.

    1. I know exactly what you mean, Simon. His is not the sort of reaction you'd expect from a street ganger!

  4. Very nice indeed, Bryan, and I can see how enthused you are for this particular gang faction. How you managed to resist turning these into Genetic Infantrymen clones though, I don't know, as some of them really look as if they've come from the Souther Clone Vats. I'd certainly be tempted to pick-up 4-5 and run some games of Rogue, Bagman, Gunnar, Helm and Venus (or Azure) as youngsters. Maybe as a cross-over?

    As Mega-City Perps though, I can also see them swarming over terrain, diving into nooks and crannies too small for a full-Judge to use, and peppering them with plenty of bullets. Great posting!!

    1. Cheers, Simon. I can see where you're coming from regarding the Rogue Trooper angle but the thing is, I have a lot of official Rogue trooper figures (Norts, Southers and G.I.s) already, as well as a fair few unofficial figures that will fit in perfectly on Nu Earth. I figured the Cyclos would fit in much better in Judge Dredd, especially as they've already been used in the old "Gangs of Mega City One" game.

    2. Yep. Totally see your point, Bryan, if you already have un/official Nu Earth minis then these would far better suit Mega-City One. I may well have just talked myself into another mini-project though [blush].

    3. Ha, ha! You know you're going to do it eventually, Simon. Just bow to the inevitable! I'll be showcasing my Rogue Trooper stuff some time in the future, i.e. when I can find the time!

  5. Nice figures and very nice painting. Looking forward to seeing some more.

    1. Thanks, Clint. Have no fear, I still have loads more Judge Dredd stuff to show you.

  6. Great stuff again Bryan, as said above the pose on Brett is classic, but I have to admit to a snigger at "Jiz" Spunkmeyer (child that I am), keep them "coming" (sorry).

    Cheers Roger.

    1. Cheers, Roger. I wish I could take credit for naming Spunkmeyer, "Jiz" but that was my old mate, Dave, who thought it up. We're just kids at heart! :-)

  7. A great bunch to finish this gang off, they should definitely be a handful if nothing else!

    1. Indeed they should, Andy... but if they get caught out in the open, they're toast!
