I don't have much in depth Dredd knowledge, so all this reinforcement that cadets are a valid concept is great!<br /><br />So far in the two games that he's featured, the lascannon guy has died without taking a shot (game 1) and shot and killed very dead a single model (game 2).

Judge Cadets were in the comics all the time so it fits perfectly. And a lascannon? I think the fact that he'll only have one shot a turn (That will inevitably miss, of course) balances the massive power of such a weapon choice. Plus, Robo-ambulls? What robo-ambulls!?

The Urban version is a great movie in its own right, one of my current favourites to watch when I want to relax. But the only criticism I have is that it's almost entirely stripped back from the 2000AD feel and setting, I think in order to distance itself from the previous film.Carminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07234077976376999013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-2597467124914435222019-05-15T07:33:53.920+01:002019-05-15T07:33:53.920+01:00Very nice converted cadet.
