Photos of some of the previous games are at Tales of Derring Do! Facebook page along with other game photos and less interestingly some of the four old farts who are the 'League of Dastardly* Gentlemen...' ( * substitute any appropriate d word) www.facebook.com/groups/112418362701474/

Those are some amazing photos. Great fun to see your games in action, and I especially love seeing what I think is a cardboard packing liner used as a Sci-Fi building. It's got me checking packages, I'll tell you!

Mike, Les, thanks for the info re the 60mm Judge Dredd figures! I now have all but one of the packs from ebay and the sixth pack (JD on his bike) is on its way from the US. I once tried to do Dredd with heroclix but gave up pretty quickly. These mega heroes though are just the ticket.

Pleasure - great to bring another to the Dark Side.
Facebook - I understand. But I only have an account so I can look at groups etc, I don't post anything about me on it. So many have now set up there, not to do so is only denying me pleasure for a principle - that's never been my way!

Mike, I should add that I too bought all the sets and am planning to do some Judge Dredd action sometime in the future. Just wish I could get my hands on more perps!

Perps - it is a case of thinking laterally...some of the Tehnolog sets can be used for example...also Warhansa do a Machete gang which fits in nicely. They also do a single figure 'Bounty Hunter' or similar who makes a good Perp. The new Fortnite figure Stamper and Key Ring ranges also have some usable figures in them - some almost 'as is' , others with a bit of conversion.
The US Garbage Pail Gang (or similar - Les will know the correct name) also has some good perp-alikes, but they can be a bit pricy now as collectables.
I will post some photos of some conversions I have done, of proper perp figures to add variety and eg a motorcycle gang.

Oh, please do.
Those Fortnite figures are a revelation. How do I not know of these things??? From looking at the e-bay photos I'm not sure what they are (are they from a video game?), but yes, a number of them would make very fine Perps. Really appreciate the tip. Are the key rings from the same range? Any brands or further help would be much appreciated!

Having done a little, erm, "research" on the Fortnite figures a question has occured. Are they bigger than the JD pieces by a large margin? Clearly you have found they work, but I'd still love to hear any thoughts. Do you happen to have any comparison shots? Gears are spinning, needless to say!

Too me they are fine - they are slender and tall sculpts compared to the original JD sets, but I don't have a problem with them. They are mounted on very thick stamper bases, which adds to the hieght but they come off them easily especiall if stood in some hot water for a while. And If you are a mutation, can you be the wrong scale??? ;-)
I don't think I have but could do some on Wednesday if that's not toolate. However - my advice FWIW is get some and see! You will enjoy the experience of new figures to push around anyway.

Thanks, Mike, I'll do that. It's not as though a pack or two will break the bank!

I am also, and have been for a while, working on some more JD 'perps/Necro Gangers in the form of a motorbike gang. Here are some WIP photos .

Sure - once the pandemic is over! I'm in the Peak District - where are you?
I was supposed to take WIP photos of their present state yesterday but was zonked out and did nothing (it happens).
Got a small package of 'Lego' bits from FirestarToys.com - weapons, emblems etc inc some harpoon rifles (going to be the gangs USP!) - in fact I might even call them the 'Pooners! My original idea was DIAB-olix for Death In A Box, reasons for which will become clearer when the figures are finished.
So, photos today I hope!
