A Fistful of Turnips

 I've been a early fan of #turnip28 since it came out, but a late painter. I dig the weird aesthetic of a mud filled world of endless battle mixed in Medieval meets Napoleonic obsessed with root vegetables. I didn't really have the time to do all the kitbashing required for when the game first came out. But now there are multiple 3D artist with lots of printing choices. Time to get out the brushes.

I enjoy making my own uniforms mostly because there's no wrong way to do it. No Nappy button counters here!

 I like the look of a tightly packed base vs moving individual figures around, especially when we're talking brittle resin. I added small dice holders the track casualties. That way I can use different rules. We've been playing a lot of Dragon Rampant and these bases will lend themselves nicely to that game.

 

 Lots more weirdness to come!

Back on the blog

Hey everyone! I'm back. Work and real life has kept me from adding to the blog for a bit, but I promised myself I would start posting more often.

I've been itching for soe old school fantasy big battles and wanted to use that as an excuse to paint some new troops.

Enter the Dwarves! It's an army I'm used to playing or painting. But I saw these digital sculpts by MOM miniatures and it was time to fire up the printer!

 They fared really well in their first outing, but last weak they got routed. I'm blaming my Northman allies and their tricksy wizard who got us in to the whole fight.

This bad boy pin cushioned quite a few enemy bowmen. But the trade off of a huge bolt for a single lowly bowman seemed out of whack.

The King and his Boar Riders seemed fearsome, but they never quite got to close with the enemy. Shot full of holes from a distant. I'm sure the enemy had a BBQ after.

My scouts were another poorly used ynit. I should have kept them in the tress.

Stalwart clan warriors.

The Iron Beards. They held the line so the rest of the army could escape.

Finally, my Berserkers. They got their freak on a turn or two, but ultimately the drugs wore off.

Next I'll be painting up some Hearthguard and Miners.
