Nu-Earth: a planet ravaged by war, its atmosphere poisoned by chemical weapons. In this battle ground between the Norts and the Southers only the Genetic Infantrymen can survive. The Rogue Trooper is one such soldier, created by the Southers to be able to thrive in Nu-Earth’s hostile and toxic environment. He is the sole surviving GI of the military disaster known as the Quartz Zone Massacre and now he hunts the traitorous Souther General who caused it. With him are the memory implants of three of his dead comrades, Helm, Gunnar and Bagman, who are installed in his helmet, rifle and bag, and who through their integration with his equipment, offer Rogue a further edge over his Nort enemies. Rogue Trooper was created by Gerry Finley-Day and Dave Gibbons and first appeared in the British Science Fiction comic 2000AD (home of Judge Dredd). The series was hailed for its excellent artwork thanks to the craftsmanship of Gibbons and other artists such as Cam Kennedy, Colin Wilson and Brett Ewins. The character now belongs to game developers, Rebellion. You can read the first ever strip on the BBC’s website: here. This is a little different to my usual MOCs, my first attempt at sci-fi in fact, but I was encouraged to make it by the competition over at the Lego War Group over on Flickr. Anyway, it’s always to step outside of one’s comfort zone every once in a while, and I’ve always had a soft spot for the Rogue Trooper. Thanks for viewing, your C&C is most welcome!

For my entry, I have chosen the pivotal scene in The Ballad of Halo Jones, written by Alan Moore and illustrated Ian Gibson. For those who don't know it, this is a pretty hard-hitting space opera that was serialised in the British comic 2000AD. In this scene, Halo Jones meets and later saves the life of the Rat King on the starship Clara Pandy. The Rat King is subsequently used illegally by her lover General Cannibal to start ratwar, spreading plague, madness and death on a global scale. Halo Jones was a soldier in the wars for many years and on learning what the General has done...well, you should read it! Any way, no mecha here. This simple build is quite a departure from my normal style. In tribute to the origin of the scene, I have mangafied it too
