Turnip28 - Skirmish Wargaming in a Post Apocalyptic Napoleonic Setting!

[King Arthur]

Greetings once again fellow Hobbyists!!

Up next will the last model of the warband - the units Leader, a SNOB!

The base for the model is a Death Rider from Forge World as the horse has the right sense of creepy for the project! I set about scraping away all the Imperial insignia, getting rid of the riders gasmask and airtubes and fleshing out the helmet a little with greenstuff so it look less German WWII. As this is the Leader I wanted a different arm pose than the original that was lower down holding a spear. I was inspired by an artwork piece from the Planet of the Apes franchise where a mounted Chimp was holding aloft a rifle! The look I wanted was of the Leader to be seen as inspiring his troops onwards! The look was completed by adding a Mask from the Kingdom Death Monster boardgame and then adding in some medieval flavor by grabbing pieces from the Perry's WotR sprues.

Hello once again T28 enthusiasts!!

The force's SNOB has been painted, based and photographed! Once again, I used oil paints to complete the work, staying with the overall theme of muted tones with primary 'pops'! The mud used on the base is Vallejo's 'Thick Russian Mud'.

This model is the last one in the force and brings to a close this chapter of a highly enjoyable project!!! The T28 setting really allowed for a more abstract approach to painting and the medium of oil paints really was a perfect match to get that gloomy feel!! I will add some photo's soon of a group shot so you can see all the models arrayed together, but for now, here's Johnny.........

















I hope you enjoy this latest addition to the project!

Until next time.

KA.

Hello once again!

As promised, to bring this project to a close, I took a group shot of the Force, plus a recap of some of the miniatures:





















And with these, I will take a bow. The project is completed (for the time being); I hope you've enjoyed this little journey into the madness of the Turnip 28 World!!

Thank you for following, commenting and viewing, I hope this project inspires you to do some T28 work too 

Until next time fellow Adventurers

Love your really colorful take on the Turnip aesthetic. Excellent project all around.

And with these, I will take a bow. The project is completed

Thanks a lot for sharing this goodness. I think you deserve several curtain calls for the great show!

Amazing insanity.  Congratulations on finishing the project.

[Spinal Tap]

Those look awesome.

What are you doing next then?

And will it be as insanely different as these?

Thank you!

My next project is going to be for STARGRAVE - It will be focussed on my crew of 10 which are 3D prints. The initail seeting will be based upon a previously Secret Military Facility that wa conucting off radar experiements and post Galactic War the Crew have received a distress signal from an uncharted planet...... expect Guns, Robots and rabid, infected failed experiements...

Thank you!!

Those Death Rider mounts have the right dose of creepiness for T28!

[OSHIROmodels]

They’re just different enough for quite a few uses.

My current project is Stargrave but I suspect mine may be a little tamer than yours.

Looking forward to seeing what you do.

Do they call the red-haired one "The Beautiful" because she(?) doesn't have any horrible growths on her face? Or perhaps "The Ill-Favored"? 

One of the things I love about Turnip28 is that it encourages people to kitbash/customize/chop up miniatures. I can barely bring myself to do weapon or head swaps unless it's just pieces from a North Star kit or a model's already broken. Maybe someday I'll get brave!

I love your work.

Ah, this is 'Lucky Lotti' leader of the Brute Hunters!! It is said that Charlotte (Lotti) gets her 'lucky' tag by being a veteran of countless conflicts, having been on  the front line, fighting with a speed and fury that some say is impressively unnatural for a Women of her staure......she has recovered from many a rifle shot or sword slash that would fell most! It is also said that she always enjoys a glass of deep red 'Beetroot' juice post battle, although not many Beetroots are to be found growing in the fields nowdays.....

So perhaps the secret to her youthful appearence is her love of 'Beetroot' juice

Hello T28 Fanatics!!!

I'll post this in the Bazaar too, but incase you're interested I will be putting this force up for SALE! I really enjoyed the journey, converting and painting, but alas I have no T28 players in my region and painted miniatures should be gamed with!!!
