Rebellion Developments and Steve Jackson Games announce a partnership of explosive proportions! The two companies take the law into their own hands next year to create Munchkin Apocalypse: Judge Dredd.

Mongoose Publishing Press Release - Dino Rampage
From the Mongoose Publishing Website
In Mega-City One’s past history , recovered dinosaur DNA was used
to create clones for the Dinosaur National Park. When the Atomic War
ravaged the city, the dinosaurs were able to escape their confines and
while most were recaptured or exterminated, many found their way into
the Cursed Earth where they thrived.
In the present day, dinosaurs are a constant worry for every Cursed Earth settlement, who add them to the list of ever-present dangers along with rad storms, raiders and mutated vermin. Occasionally, a dinosaur may wander close to Mega-City One and slip past the defences unnoticed, where it will lurk in a ruined sector, preying upon the unwary.

Mongoose Publishing Press Release - Noted (and Notable) Judges of Mega-City One
From the Mongoose Publishing Website
Judge Giant was a cadet when Dredd first met him, having only just been awarded the accolade of Rookie Judge. Giant’s father had been a famous aeroball player for the Harlem Heroes, but Giant’s Pappy, wanting something better for him, had encouraged him into trying to become a Judge. In order to become a full Judge, however, Giant would have to prove his abilities and knowledge of the law to Dredd. He accompanied Dredd on patrol, but Giant’s first encounter with a perp was far from successful: in his eagerness to impress Giant shot Dredd in the face, only the Judge’s helmet saving him. Dredd failed Giant but when news reached them of a kidnapping Giant pleaded to be given another chance. Dredd agreed, letting him handle the kidnapping situation on his own. The duo sped to the Old Heroes Bowl, where Giant’s Pappy had played aeroball. Using a combination of inherited athletic prowess and heroism Giant dealt with two of the perps, but a third perp was holding a kidnapped kid hostage up on the girders of the stadium, threatening to explode a bomb that had been strapped to the kid. Giant used a jetpack to reach the kidnapper and the hostage.

Mongoose Publishing Press Release - Famous Firefight: Duel of Judges
From the Mongoose Publishing Website
Judge Gibson had been a cadet at the same time as Dredd, and was a close friend – but in his disguise as Mutie the Pig he also undertook numerous hideous crimes. When Gibson realised his alter-ego and life of crime had been uncovered by Dredd, Gibson sought to murder his friend. Fortunately for Dredd, he felt Gibson’s laser sight linger on him just before Gibson pulled the trigger, and avoided being shot. However, in order to nail Gibson, Dredd needed the bent Judge to think he was dead so the crimes would continue to be perpetrated, affording Dredd the necessary evidence. Dredd faked his own funeral, then burst in on Gibson while he was committing another crime as Mutie the Pig.

Mongoose Publishing Press Release - Shamed Judges
From the Mongoose Publishing Website
With the release of the brand new Judge Cal’s Retinue box set, it is a good time to bring a new unit into the Judge Dredd miniatures game – Shamed Judges!
The set includes two such Law enforcers, Judges Glass and Quincy, both victims of Judge Cal’s megalomania.
Judge Quincy was the first to be shamed by Chief Judge Cal, for losing a button on his uniform. Cal insisted that he lose his uniform or his life, forcing Quincy to follow his duties in his underwear.

Mongoose Publishing Press Release - Judge Dredd FAQ and Errata
From the Mongoose Publishing Website
The Judge Dredd miniatures game has been around for a few months now, so it is time to have a look at some of your commonly asked questions and make a handful of necessary tweaks to a few entries. All of the items here are official and should be considered ‘tournament-ready.’
The entire FAQ and errata is listed here, but you can download a PDF version from here.
What happens when two models roll a natural 10 during an opposed check?
Both succeed and it is therefore a tie – both models re-roll.
When shooting at an enemy model and you roll one or more 10s, do these automatically hit (causing a critical hit) or can the enemy still dodge these if they rolled higher (with modifiers) for their Agility?
It is not an automatic hit, and the enemy can still dodge the shot if he rolls high enough on his Agility. However, if he fails, it will be a critical hit.
Do friendly models block Line of Sight for shooting?
They do indeed! If they are partially covering an enemy model, count them as providing light cover.
When pushing a model 2” back after winning close combat, what is defined as directly away?
Directly backwards, not crabbing off to one side!
Can you push a model that lost combat through other models?
No, count other models as impassable for this purpose.
Can you declare a melee action against a target that is around a corner?
Yes, you can. However, unless you have at least 3” of straight line movement after the corner, you will not get the benefit of Charging.
When in close combat, can a model perform a Special action, perhaps activating Shield Wall?
No, you can only choose to perform Melee actions if you are already in close combat (or a Move action, if you want to get out of there!). Shield Walls must be attempted before you enter close combat, as it would be a bit difficult when you are already fighting!
If a Minion successfully resists arrest, do any remaining Judges have to attempt to arrest them as well?
No, once a Minion resists arrest, he is open game for any Judge!
Will you always take at least one point of damage from falling?
Yes, falling from 4” or less will always cause at least one point of damage, even if you make the Agility check (because you round up fractions). By the same token, if you fall 15” or more and succeed in an Agility check, you will lose half your starting Hits (the model managed to break its fall somehow).
How do Explosive weapons and cover interact? For example, if I shoot someone in cover around a corner, and it hits the model next to him, who is out of my Line of Sight, does that model get cover as well?
The second model would indeed get the benefit of cover. This reflects the fact that you may not know exactly where he is.
Can werewolves/zombies/demons ride bikes?
Sure. Sounds like fun!
Can a Cal-Hub, Brit-Cit or Judge from any other Mega-City who has been permanently seconded to the Justice Department get a Lawmaster instead of an Iron Lion?
He can, and we’ll go you one better – if he is brought in as a temporary Mercenary, he can still be bought a Lawmaster (on a temporary basis). See page 26 on ‘acquiring’ vehicles…
Zombies do not use the normal armour rules. What effect does heavy cover or weapons with an AP score have on the damage roll?
Heavy cover will grant a bonus to the zombie’s Agility as normal, but neither cover nor AP have any effect on the roll for destroying a zombie – the ability to rip through a zombie with a bullet is not much help, you need weapons that can dismember them!
Can zombies ride in and drive vehicles, and can they shoot any mounted weapons?
Zombies can indeed ride and drive vehicles, but have no Shoot score and so cannot perform any Shoot actions (and thus cannot use shooting weapons).
Can a Zombie Master try to reanimate the same zombie twice (the turn it is destroyed and the turn after) if he remains within 12”?
You get just one try to reanimate each zombie – if you fail once, remove the zombie.
Do you get XP for each time you kill a zombie, even if the Zombie Master then raises it again, or is it the model that finishes it permanently that gets the reward?
You must remove a model from the table to get its XP, so it is the model that delivered the final blow that gets it in this case.
Zombies have no weapons listed, nor can you buy any for them. In close combat, therefore, do they count as having Fists and Feet?
Yes, and this applies to any model with no close combat weapon listed (even if they are using horns, tentacles, pseudopods…).
Do you need to specify what type of ammunition you are using when you equip a Judge with the Mk I Lawgiver?
No. While the background describing the Mk I Lawgiver says it only has two magazines, we can assume the Judge has selected the most suitable ammunition for the coming fight.
Does the Lawrod use the same rounds as the Mk I Lawgiver, in effect the same as the Mk II minus the Stumm Gas rounds?
That is correct.
The Shadow makes reference to Master Stealth – is that supposed to be The Shadow?
It is indeed, yes. It was called Master Stealth in the original playtest version of the game.
Does the Loyal Bodyguard Talent allow attacks to be redirected to a model the opponent cannot see?
Yes – the bodyguard heroically leaps out of cover to catch the bullet!
If a Citi-Def officer is shot by a soldier that is also his Loyal Bodyguard, does the soldier realise his mistake and leap in front of his shots, protecting the officer?
And no to this one. You cannot leap in front of your own bullets, no matter how devoted you are!
When using The Shadow and attacking with multiple dice, does a model automatically cause one critical hit or do all its attacks cause critical hits?
All. Enjoy.
Can a model take advantage of more then one Voice of Command at the same time? Does this Talent stack with itself?
No. If lots of people start bossing a model about at the same time, he will just get confused! A model can only take advantage of one Voice of Command at any one time.
How does ramming interact with Drive-By Boot and Bike Wheelie?
It does not – choose to either ram or use one of these Talents, you cannot do both.
The Riot Judge Talent tree has a lot of shield-type Talents, but does not actually specify that you need a shield to use them…
Yes, you need to have a Riot Shield to use a Talent that mentions said shield.
Accurate states that it can only be used by single Shooting Dice weapons. Does that mean a model that gets an extra Shooting Die from Dual Pistol Master can also use Accurate, if his weapon starts at one Shooting Die?
No. One Shooting Die means one Shooting Die, regardless of where the Dice are coming from. You are taking a single, prepared shot, not blazing away!
What is the use of the arrested component of the Slippery Talent, since Heroes cannot be arrested?
It is possible for Heroes to be arrested in some very specific circumstances, such as Chief Judge Cal arresting Mega-City One Judges. We may also add more possibilities in the future…
Is there anything that limits Loyal Follower in the same way as Fixer? I cannot see anything that stops you, say, challenging a Dark Judges player, making a Lone Vigilante tooled up to the eyeballs with Psi Talents, laser pistols, katanas and other gear, then taking Loyal Follower and immediately upping your gang’s value by, like, 500 Credits (minus anything slaughtered by Judge Death, of course)?
This is possible. However, there are some drawbacks. First of all, you will be facing some very heavy opposition and may well lose your Lone Vigilante and anyone else he brings along. Second, if you do pull it off, this game has a self-balancing mechanism through the use of Mercenaries so you will just be facing tougher enemies with a Hero that has probably not gained enough levels to survive what he will now be facing!
Do you have to pay to improve Minions with Inspire and Elevate?
No, but your force value will go up by 50 Credits.
Does Shroud of Death last even after the model has avoided death once?
It does indeed.
Does Shroud of Death activate by hit, or by attack? If a 1 Hit model with Shroud of Death active gets shot by a gun with 4 Shooting Dice, and all those dice successfully hit, will he have to roll 4 Will checks in sequence to survive, or just one?
Just one. Shroud of Death kicks in whenever the model reaches 0 Hits – all those Shooting Dice are being rolled at once and so are all happening at the same time.
How do Psi Talents work when a model is on a bike?
User Only Psi Talents affect only the Hero, not his bike (so, he cannot Levitate his bike!). Psi Talents that function as shooting attacks may be used from a bike.
If a force value gets high enough, there is nothing to stop a player using a single unarmed Juve (or similar) and picking a Credit value of 10 for a challenge, knowing that no-one else in the campaign has anything that cheap to contest them. Is that right?
No. When you fight in a campaign, you use every model at your disposal (it is a desperate battle, not a game to your guys!). You cannot just select part of your force!
Can you sell gear models start with?
No. No one wants a second hand shell jacket.
What is the Rep of the Dark Judges?
That is a very good question (though a better one might be why the Dark Judges are trying to run a gangster operation…). We would recommend you make the Dark Judges’ Rep twice that of the highest other Rep in the campaign.
The following are official changes to the Judge Dredd miniatures game and will be repeated in future reprints of the main rulebook.
Riot Wagon, Manta Prowl Tank and Pat Wagon (pages 32-34)
Remove the Gas special rule from the Riot Foam jets. These weapons otherwise use the rules for Riot Foam as detailed on page 101.
Lawmaster Mastery (page 128)
As with all Judge Talent trees, this may be used by any type of Judge (including those from other Mega-Cities, such as East Meg or Brit-Cit), and the Talents may be applied to any type of bike, not just Lawmasters.
Heist! (page 144)
The deployment zones on the map should be swapped around, with the attacker setting up in the centre. The text under the Set Up section is correct.
Mechanismo Judgementbringer Cannon (page 156)
The table for the Judgementbringer Cannon, for both the Mk I and Mk II Mechanismo, should read as follows.

Warlord Games Press Release - New: War Marshall Kazan and Orlock the Assassin
From the Warlord Games Website
Two new Judge Dredd characters are released today and their appearance is sure to spell doom and destruction for the Mega-Cities! We also now have the Judges of the World available individually!
After years of meticulous planning, Supreme Judge Bulgarin of East Meg One launched the Apocalypse War against Mega-City One. Through the use of nukes, the Apocalypse Shield and a full scale invasion under Warmarshal Kazan, Mega-City One was subjugated quickly, with half of its 800 million citizens killed.
Orlok the Assassin, is an operative of East Meg One. He was responsible for spreading the Block Mania contaminant via the water supplies of Mega City One, inciting ’block wars’ to destabilise the city prior to the Apocalypse War. He has subsequently been a thorn in the side of the world’s Justice Departments.
Through the heroic actions of a handful of judges, Mega-City One was able to finally win the war, destroying East Meg One in the process. However, there are many in East Meg Two, including Orlok who plan revenge against the west…
East Meg players will rejoice at these deadly reinforcements – as will collectors wishing to include these two infamous characters.
