In this and the next post I'm going to review the largest Mega City One street gang I've shown you so far (note that I do have much bigger gangs just waiting to be showcased). This particular gang is called the Apathetic Anarchists, who are led by Major Apathy. They originally appeared in my Gangs of Mega City One campaign, where they performed very averagely. Plus, they were a lot smaller back then. I have more than doubled their numbers to use in my Judge Dredd Miniatures Game. To start with, I'll showcase the leader, heavy weapons perps and the juves. Next post will feature the rank and file punks who make up the bulk of the gang.
At the far left is Major Apathy, the gang's leader. This figure was originally produced by Mongoose Publishing as a street gang Top Dog, but when Warlord Games took over the production of the range, they made him the leader of a Cursed Earth Desperadoes gang. Either way, he's still a great figure for a gang leader. He is armed with a Sawed-Off Stump Gun Rifle and a Spit Pistol and he wears Leather Armour. In JDMG he is a Level:4 Punk Infantry Hero with the following five Talents - Brave, Die Hard, Inspire, Luck of Grud and Nerves of Steel. He is worth 190 Credits.
The next three figures were produced by Warlord Games and these are the heavy weapons specialists of the gang. Standing next to Major Apathy is Eric Ennui. You'll soon notice that their names are all synonyms for the word "Apathetic". Eric is armed with a Heavy Spit Gun and he wears Leather Armour. He is a Level:1 Punk Infantry Hero with the Brave and On Their Knees Talents. He is worth 150 Credits.
Third in line is the second-in-command of the gang, Lance Languor. He is armed with the gang's most powerful and expensive weapon, a Laser Cannon. He wears Padded Armour. He is a Level:2 Punk Infantry Hero with the Talents, Accurate, Brave and On Their Knees. He is worth 195 Credits, just slightly more than Major Apathy.
Finally, is Eric's elder brother, Ernie Ennui. He wields a Missile Launcher that fires Armour Piercing Missiles. He also wears Leather Armour. Like his brother, he is also a Level:1 Punk Infantry Hero. His two Talents are Accurate and Brave. He is worth 135 Credits.
At the opposite end of the scale are the Juves. These are essentially cannon fodder, but if they survive long enough they will progress to Punk status. At the far left is Drew Drab, who is a very old figure, originally produced by Citadel Miniatures for the Judge Dredd Role Playing Game by Games Workshop. He is armed with a Handgun Pistol and is equipped with a couple of spray cans of paint. This, of course, means he is a Scrawler, a 22nd Century term for a graffiti artist. To be honest, I could have included him in any one of a number of gangs but I decided to include him as a member of the Apathetic Anarchists. He is a Level:0 Juve Infantry Minion worth a measly 25 Credits.
The remaining three figures were produced by Warlord Games and all are Level:0 Juve Infantry Minions. Second from the left is Norman Numb who is armed with a Handgun Pistol and a Knife. He is also worth 25 Credits.
Second from the right is Brian Bland, another Juve armed with a Handgun Pistol and a Knife. He, too, is worth 25 Credits.
Finally, is Jaded James, who is armed with a Handgun Pistol and a Club. Unsurprisingly, he also costs 25 Credits.
Major Apathy and the three heavies should give the Judges a good fight but I don't expect any of the Juves to survive their first fight.
