Judge Tuesday is in Session

The Tuesday crew are back again and another batch of eye-watering loveliness has landed on my desk. But be warned, minion megalomania is starting to settle in and I'm adapting to the role of a Judge maybe a little too easily. I'm sitting here in front of my computer bestride a Lawmaster dispensing justice to the citizens of the Mega City Tuesday Painting Club... OK, maybe I really should take those pills the doctor gave me. 


So what have we got for you today? A lonely Russian American War of Independence army; More Indians with Chariots aplenty; a touch of Seven Years War megalomania; foot & mouth from Ray; Italian mounted crossbowmen; Ming Chinese; some Post-Brexit Paramilitary Police; Necromunda Gangs; a very under-dressed goddess!; AT Guns and Naval Crew; and some Javelinmen. There's still time for more entries and as usual I'll be sitting at my desk waiting for new defendants to be sentenced judged.

Prepare yourself. Tuesday has more awesome than you can shake a Daystick at.

From KyleC: I came in like a wrecking ball.... . (180 pts)

Second year doing this, and second year I will be moving near the end of the event as well... so just like last year I will be hitting the painting hard over the holidays, and decided to spend my birthday ( the 20th of December ) as a good day to be holed up in the studio with paint brushes and some old TV re-runs to get things kicked off :)





I have been stock-piling some Bolt Action models, some Judge Dread figures, and the new GW Blood Bowl box set just for this competition time :) And I then jumped on the easy things first... the Judge Dread figures!



First the starter box of Judges plus one extra ( dunno where the extra came from ). Done these on commission also for a bottle of local moonshine... so.. win/win/win ( comp/commission/booze ). He wanted basic tabletop, this is basic tabletop, and almost exactly as the boxset goes.



Second we have the Street Gang. Again the starter with a bonus extra model. Goal was to use as many bright colors as I could find. However all my old florescent colors dried up from never being used. So had to resort to just what I had nearby that was high saturation colors.




Then I dove into the Germans. Starting with those mounted on the bikes. Simpler color scheme here for them, but one that I will need to replicate over 100+ infantry soon enough. 8 bikes with single riders, and a sidecar with 3 riders.

All told it drops me onto the board with 180 points to kick things off, and I hope to have more soon when I get to have a bit more time off of work before and after Xmas..



Meanwhile I wait for more primer for the Bolt Action forces, I have to figure out the color schemes for the Human and Orc blood bowl teams.. Am thinking Miami Dolphins and Oakland Raider colors, but now I need to see if I can pull them off or not! And then come up with some interesting names for them as well!

Congratulations on detonating our first paint bomb, Kyle AND Happy Birthday (on the 20th)!

The uniform greyness of the Germans motorcyclists are nicely counterpointed by the punchy colours of the Judge Dredd figures - nice work.

I look forward to seeing those Blood Bowl figures in the coming days (if you have plans for a green team (that will be patently useless) I suggest the Saskatchewan Roughriders...)
