The Judge Dredd Miniatures Game introduces a whole new level of play to your tabletop with Judge Dredd: Block War Expansion – the devastating block wars of Mega-City One! The streets of Mega-City One have just become a lot more violent…
Judge Dredd: Block War Expansion
Marshal your forces over the course of a Block War campaign to show just whose block is best! This expansion contains an 80-page Block War rulebook full of new rules, characters and units, a pad of datasheets, new Block War and Armoury cards and two rampaging resident figures that are exclusive to this set.
Assault Judges are all handpicked veterans, trained to bring an end to criminal activity in the speediest (and most brutal) manner possible, whilst Riot Judges are stern, unyielding and covered in heavyweight armour.
When a block war comes, Fatties can really pull their not-inconsiderable weight. With improvised armour strapped to their considerable bulk, they can be used as a living battering ram, whilst a camp’s militant Fats Hambo rolls forward in the name of fat rights.
When the madness of a block war takes over, docile citizens gather into large mobs. At this point, they become exceptionally dangerous, easily able to overwhelm a Street Judge caught on their own.
This collection nets you the new expansion, plus all the new models – perfect for veterans of the mean streets of Mega-City One looking to expand their collections and cement their block as the best in the megalopolis!
Judge Dredd: I Predict a Riot! Block War Brawl Collection
This collection nets you the I Am The Law! Starter set, the new expansion, plus a wide variety of models with which to begin waging Block Wars, including all the new ones – perfect for those looking to jump in feet first into the fast and exciting world of 2000 AD’s Judge Dredd on the tabletop

Warlord Games has revealed a string of upcoming releases for Bolt Action, Blood Red Skies, and Konflikt ’47. Check out below what you can bring to the tabletop soon as well as links to order.
M11/39 Medium Tank
A medium tank with a pair of turret-mounted machine guns, the M11/39 was the first modern gun armed Italian tank, seeing service in East & North African campaigns. Famously, a few M11/39s fell into Australian hands and were painted with large white kangaroo emblems to avoid friendly fire.
The P-38 Lightning’s comparatively long-range proved invaluable in the Pacific Theatre and for escort duties in deep penetration raids over occupied Europe, enjoying considerable success as a ground attack strike fighter.
The United States Bell P-39 Airacobra was also used throughout the war by (most prominently) the Soviet Air Force, the Free French, the RAF and the Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force.
The Ki45 Toryu (Dragonslayer), was a twin-engine heavy fighter patterned after the German Messerschmitt Me110 and its contemporaries, enjoying success as a bomber hunter.
Kashiide won fame as one of the few pilots able to shoot down the massive American B-29 Superfortress, specialising in head-on attacks using the heavy cannon of the Ki-45 Toryu (Dragonslayer).
The agile and robust Pondskater is the perfect vehicle for the complex terrain of the Pacific Theatre, and is thus utilised by the USMC as a weapons platform.
The combination of a reliable and mobile tank with the deadly ability of the compression cannon to literally rip apart medium vehicles should prove a major concern for Allied commanders on 1947 battlefields.

Fire Ships were deliberately set ablaze and sent towards the enemy battleline where they would explode or set opposing ships alight. Usable by all nations in Black Seas, fire ships are a deadly (and fun!) addition to your Black Seas games.
In Black Seas, Fire ships are activated in Weather Gage order like any other ship. They will always travel directly forward unless affected by the wind or a collision – they will always fail collision tests, which is more or less the idea! Enemy (and friendly) ships would do well to make utmost effort to get out of their way, as if they come within 2″ of a fire ship, they are also set ablaze!
Black Seas: Fire Ships Squadron features three Black Seas fire ships made of metal and resin.
