Welcome back to S102. So I've been inspired by a story I recently read in the Judge Dredd megazine. From this one story I've designed a whole gang around them.
Here is a page clip and some info:
Judge Dredd – The Call Of K. Cattrall Part 2 – By Arthur Wyatt and Paul Davidson
Dredd and Psi-Judge Zheng are looking further into the decapitation of Zac Gammell, CEO of Gammell Industrial. When they come across an alien/mutant fishman race....
Now I'm a huge fan of Cthulhu so straight away I got into this story.
Sitting in my cupboard of figures (quite a big cupboard), long forgotten I have an out of print Dr Who Fishman model, who acted as my muse. So with my imagination running wild and that figure in hand I looked up the Reaper line and found more fishmen to add. Within moments I had a collection of eight figures in a variety of poses and a River Troll. So what could be better than painting them and writing up a set of rules. So without further ado.....

Bulky: Once a Big Guy gets going, there is little that can stop him! If two consecutive Move or Melee actions are taken in the same turn, then the second action must be made in a completely straight line, but he will move an additional D10+2". In addition all Close Combat attacks will ignore all Armour except against vehicles and have a damage score equal to the Big Guy's remaining hits. Big Guy's can only move in clear terrain.
Fat: Can't climb ladders, ride in normal vehicles but can sit in the back of a van or lorry. Can only move through doors wide enough for the base and is immune to knockdowns.
As you can tell it's still early days on this project and I want to make more Big Guys and a pure leader hero version. But let me know what you think and maybe do a bit of play testing for me. As always until next time.
