This is unscripted my feelings/review of the Judge Dredd rulebooks by Warlord Games.

Minor correction - at the start you say the rules are by Rebellion and sold by Warlord Games. That is incorrect - Rebellion are the owners of 2000AD, the IP was licensed to Warlord Games who produced and sell the rules. 2000AD began in 1977 with the Judge Dredd strip starting in Prog 2 (Prog = issue). Old Stoney Face has removed his helmet more than once in the strip, but his face is never shown except for when it has been horribly disfigured (eg The Dead Man/Tales of the Dead Man) or he has undergone a face-change to go undercover. Another correction - one of the Fattie models is Dick Porker, but the pack doesn't contain the stat card for him.

I think I've still got my box sert thing of the role playing game somewhere in the cellar. I remember seeing Dredd with his helmet off in either the apocalypse or Judge Cal story, his head was of course bandaged up. I guess as there would not be an artist who could ever draw a face to catch the character.

There's one story quite early on where he is having a bath or shower in his apartment in Rowdy Yates block when a couple of burglars break in; his helmet is on a table in the living room, and Dredd is only shown from behind or from the shoulders down. I think there's one panel in Tales of the Dead Man where you see him from behind without the helmet on, although that could be Kraken (another clone of Chief Judge Fargo).

His face has a big "Censored" label over it in one story.

@@BlackJackGaming-wy5vm Antique car heist, from prog 6, it's in the first Complete case files. Apparently it was meant to show Dredds face, Kevin O'Neill said in an interview "what was actually written was that Dredd’s face is so impressive, such a figure of justice, that it unnerves the crooks to gaze upon it. However, as Kevin O’Neill revealed in a 1982 interview (reprinted in Thrill-Power Overload!), artist Massimo Belardinelli hadn’t quite been able to pull it off “an impossible job”. “[He] draws Dredd’s face with a pair of rubber lips and it was awful … We thought, “How are going to get out of this?” Well, we got this ‘Censored’ panel and slapped it over his eyeballs, because the artwork was so late coming from Italy that was all we could do.” Art by Massimo Berlardinelli, "CENSORED" by Tharg O’Neill went on to say this was “the best thing that ever happened to the character”. It swiftly became a concrete rule of the strip, a thematic thing. As John Wagner told Judge Dredd: The Mega-History by Colin Jarman & Peter Acton, "It sums up the facelessness of justice − justice has no soul.”
