I took my recent Strontium Dog private commission & (through the magic of Photoshop) turned it into the 2000AD cover you never knew existed.

Rogue Marsokhods for ABC Warriors from Warlord Games.

I haven't painted anything 2000AD, much less ABC, in a hot minute, but I recently got a game of ABC in finally and it got me wanting to grab some more toys from the range.

With another year over, and we slowly descend into the dredd universe, what was the best and worst of the prog and meg?

Ahh, ol' buddy, ol' pal. Where would my year be without this list? Thanks for the excuse to go over the last year. Now let's see...

For the prog, I really enjoyed Brink, Intestinauts, Rogue Trooper: Souther Belle, Silver: Unearthed (my favorite all-new series of the year), All Aboard the Nova Express, The Out, Azimuth and two of the big Judge Dredd stories (A Better World and Machine Rule). The one-offs were good too, but I think I'm really aching for a big ol' Dredd epic right now.

Other that that, there wasn't anything terribly bad. I can't really get into Full Tilt Boogie, and the urban fantasy horror stuff like Herne and Shuck or Nightmare New York (RIP John Burns) just leaves me kinda cold. Deadworld is still drawn godlike but feels like its spinning wheels. The one kinda disappointment of the year was Rogue Trooper: When a GI Dies. A bit too much dialogue getting in the way of some real emotion.

Oh, and I fucking loved the Nordland Rising crossover thing, even though they killed Hershey again and made me watch it drawn by like three different artists. Which should go to show how much I enjoyed its manic, throw everything at the wall approach.

As for the Meg, started out a bit slow this year but really picked up when Dreadnoughts started. I fucking love how bleak that thing is. Also, Judge Dredd: Body Shots was hilarious, the 2099 flashbacks are a nice exercise, and I have a soft spot for Department K, even if they made a kind of robot Hershey who was evil and then died. Big fan of Pandora Perfect too, that one's just a good time.

In the meh stuff, I'm not crazy about Fargo & McBane other than the art but I appreciate the variety, I really don't care about Devlin Waugh and I haven't cared for a couple of years now and Harrower Squad is kind of a wash that could really use more exciting art.

I am excited for the new year tho'. Lawless, Death Cap and Rok of the Reds, which I haven't had a chance to read yet. That's gonna be the good stuff.

However, all that in mind, I do want to take a moment to mention maybe my favorite surprise bit of the year, which is the Durham Red pages in that Ennis/Flint Strontium Dog story in the Xmas prog. Because man... man.

I can't exactly put my finger on it, but those two pages were the single hottest, sexiest, most alluring thing in comics in the entire year for me. Just the absolute pitch-perfect picture of a random encounter in the dingy bathroom of a shitty nightclub with a 15/10 baddie who has something fucked up about her and you never see her again but you think about her for the rest of your life.

That one's gonna stay with me for a while, squaxx.

Judgement Day from 2000AD is the first big boy comic i ever read. Before this it was Dandy and Beano and Whizzer and Chips and The Broons and Oor Wullie etc. This blew my child like mind. Dredd also became a fave character of mine and he still is to this day.

So, like many hobbyists, I've been a longtime GW Enjoyer because it's easy to find people to play games with. But, it'd be a shame to ignore so many cool miniatures and systems just because it's harder to get games in. So, the Shame Pile grows... ever so slightly (it's literally 9 character models, Howard Quartz included, a piece of scenery, and Volkhan's anvil)

Warlord's ABC Warriors game drew me in with its chunky, characterful sculpts and low model count. I love a skirmish game. Its compatibility with other games in their 2000 AD licensed range is also a huge plus, so you can play out crossover games with Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog (RIP), and I guess Slaíne too if you really want? I'm really only familiar with Judge Dredd, as tends to happen on this side of the ocean, but this has gotten me interested in exploring more of the 2000 AD strips.

Plus, Andy Chambers and Gav Thorpe designed the system, so as an Oldhammer fan, seeing all my favourite designers of the era popping up in Warlord design credits is delightful.
