The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Indy set.
Its model number and name are #97-99 / Brit City Judge.​

_________________________________________________________________
Character Bio - The Brit-Cit Justice Department is based in the New Old Bailey. It is very similar in structure and effect to the Mega City One justice system, and aside from a few cosmetic differences (lions instead of eagles) even the Judge uniforms are the same. As such, the laws are harsh, with many crimes not found in present-day law, and the Judges have the power to act as both police and judge/jury/executioner, though they do portray more of a stiff upper lip when doing so.

Brit-Cit has a special relationship with Mega City One and the two work together quite often. Brit-Cit provided refuge for Mega City One Judges when Nero Narcos took over the city and covertly aided Judge Dredd in liberating the city with technical and personnel support. Brit-Cit contributed medical and technical personnel and commando units to assist in an international humanitarian mission. The two cities have also run exchange programs with their Cadets.

Re: The Book of Brit-Cit Judge (Just Breathe)

NAME = BRIT-CIT JUDGE


SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNCOMMON
CLASS = JUDGE
PERSONALITY = DEDICATED

SIZE/HEIGHT = Medium 5

LIFE = 3

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 6
ATTACK = 3
DEFENSE = 5
POINTS = 55

JUDGE
Start the game with a gold Judgement Marker on this card. You may never have more than one Judgement Marker on this card. If an enemy figure within clear sight of any Judge you control inflicts a wound on a friendly figure, you may place your Judgement Marker from this card on the enemy figure's Army Card. Whenever an enemy's Army Card with one of your Judgement Markers on it has all of its figures destroyed, you may return that Judgement Marker to this card, if possible.

JURY
Any enemy figure with your Judgement Marker on its card has the class of Criminal in addition to the class on its card. Criminal figures roll one fewer die when defending against attacks from this Brit-Cit Judge.

EXECUTIONER
If this Brit-Cit Judge inflicts one or more wounds with his normal attack on an enemy Criminal figure and there is only 1 Life remaining on that figure, roll one unblockable attack die against that figure.

Awesome!

Looking through the wording, right now all Brit-Cit judges can put their markers on the first enemy figure that wounds a friendly figure. I don't know why you would want to use all your markers that way but you can. Is that OK?

Also, some suggested wording changes for the other two powers:

JURY
Any enemy figure with your Judgement Marker on their card has the class of Criminal in addition to the class on their card. Criminal figures roll one less die when defending against attacks from this figure, or two less dice if that figure is Common.

EXECUTIONER
If this Brit-Cit Judge inflicts one or more wounds with his normal attack on an opponent's figure with at least one of your Judgement marker on its card and there is only 1 Life remaining on that figure, roll one unblockable attack die against that figure.

Really like these guys - cool to see the Judge faction moving, and being able to call enemies out as Criminals should be a nice help to Dredd right off the bat. :thumbsup: Daredevil and Rorschach will really appreciate it too. Red Mist is another - less thematic but still fun - beneficiary, as anyone these guys have Judged suddenly becomes willing to take a Payoff. :twisted: The 'may' part of it also makes it difficult for your opponent to leverage the Judgement for themselves by opening up Criminal synergies, which is good - I have no need to see Silver Surfer fighting alongside the LexCorp any time soon. :)

Just one thought I had, admittedly not knowing these guys - would it make sense to make them a tough squad rather than full Uncommon Heroes? I'm just thinking that that would mean that, in a Judge vs. Dark Judge battle, Judge Death would be able to fulfil his potential by picking off squaddies.
 
Re: The Book of Brit-Cit Judge (Just Breathe)

Is their a need or desire to have the judgement markers return to their card to be reused once a figure that has a marker is killed? Being able to judge and execute multiple figures in one game using just one brit-cit judge could be pretty good, but tracking which marker belongs to which judge when playing with multiple brit-cit judges could get messy.

Couldn’t it just go on the closest brit judge that doesn’t already have a marker?

Does this work? I struggle with the Uncommon mechanic. :)

Uncommons with markers are really tricky. If you need to limit it, you can do it this way:

Also I think this cleans up the "whose marker is it" tracking issue.

I would not be against that.

I guess theme-wise they do not deploy as large groups outside of major incident. Each Judge really is an individual.

I would be willing to entertain thoughts on it, as it would be a cheap way to get a lot of Judges on the street.

If it can be done cleanly.

Not sure how much it is needed, I guess it comes down to how many army cards you are facing. :)

Maybe a 2-man common squad? :shrug:

I was thinking two figures as well.
Any thoughts anyone?

So if one of my Arthrian Invaders wounds your figure, all of them get labeled as criminals for the rest of the game and the Brit-Cit Judges get to att. them with a -2 def. modification? Starting to become concerned about how the marker works with common figures. Maybe just leave the defense reduction at -1 for all criminals and not worse for common criminals.

Not cheap if you have to buy all those figures...

I know people seem to resist Unique squads but would they qualify thematically...I mean do they amass in armies or would it be more likely that a small group punches in on the clock together? You tell us.

Guilt by association...hey no one said the Judges were forgiving...

But yeah the -1 across the board does make sense. I mean common figures tend to be weaker anyway no reason to dog pile.

Would a common squad only get 1 judgement marker or 1 per figure?
Click to expand...

I'd probably go with the wording of "Start the game with 1 marker for each Brit-Cit Judge in your army" Or just do what we did with the common figure I LD'd that is on Deck and just give a set number regardless...that could temper the issue of common squad piling on markers.

Well, you wouldn't really need to track them. The markers all act like they're coming from a single pool anyway. When you place the marker, you can pull it off any of your Brit-Cits, so it doesn't really matter if the marker goes back to the same Brit-Cit it started on or if you end up with a dozen of the markers on the same Brit-Cit card or whatever.

Getting the marker back would be as simple as something like "When a figure with one of your Judgement Markers on its card is destroyed, you may place that Judgement Marker on this card." Don't know if we want to go that route or not, but I don't think it would present any major wording/tracking issues.

:word: to both of these.

I don't have a preference on Uncommon Hero vs Common Hero vs Squad of any sort. Whatever makes the most sense.
 
Re: The Book of Brit-Cit Judge (Just Breathe)

Common Hero would work just as well as Common Squad for making them munchable by Death. :shrug:
 
Re: The Book of Brit-Cit Judge (Just Breathe)

If we go the common squad or common hero route, the suggestion I had about returning markers to their card to be used again becomes mute. The common status means you should be starting the game with a pile of markers already, most likely enough to place one on most every non-criminals card. My thought process behind the marker return idea was based on uncommon heroes. As uncommon heroes with 4 life I'd consider just drafting 1 or 2 into an army to help Dredd out, but as a common figure with 1 life I don't see that as viable. I'd end up drafting 4+ figures every time.

I guess that means that from a financial, as well as a space and storage point of view, I'd rather see them be uncommon heroes that I can buy just 2 figures for. Common squad means I need to buy at minimum 4+, with 6 being likely and 8 a remote possibility. From a theme point of view, I'll defer to T of course but it kind of sounds like they don't normally roll in groups of 6+. Unique Squad (3 or 4) or common hero might be the way to go over common squad if it is thematic for Judge Death to own these guys (ie. 1 life vs 4). Don't know how Death and the Brit Cit are portrayed in the comics though.

That does not work at all with uncommon heroes. You need to use "this".
 
Re: The Book of Brit-Cit Judge (Just Breathe)

Do we have a mini option besides the Heroclix one here? The clix ones are pretty rare/expensive. Definitely against a Common anything if we're using those guys.
 
Re: The Book of Brit-Cit Judge (Just Breathe)

I'm in favor of Uncommon Hero personally. I'd rather see common hero/ squad saved for like Rookie Judges or something, ideally with a bonding style power of some stripe, the current mechanics here feel like they'd start to get a little persnickety on a common. I don't think 'needs to be owned by Judge Death' is really that important of a thing to change the design over honestly.
