Turnip inspired Stargrave Pirates.

Hurray. The Turnip Pirates showed up for the first time in a game this evening. A high roll meant the Shocktrooper and two Pirates showed up to create mayhem.

They look right at home in all that shot-up Deadzone terrain.

I swear the d20 knows what I have available for random pirates and persists in producing results I can't fill as rapidly as possible.  I had one game that managed to call for 14 ruffians and nothing else.  Just ridiculous.  It's like teh game takes some kind of evel glee in forcing me to proxy stuff.

So in the narrative I've made up for my games, the turnip Pirates, I've called them the Allium, are the power on the desert world of Sanquine.
The lowly Viridis, a criminal underclass who sell their services as hirelings and footpads, have to scrounge and steal their own kit. This figure, modelled to be a Sentry figure, has nicked his Heavy Amour off a dead Allium.
I've tried to create a bit of both the Viridis and the Allium in the figure.

Very nice.  Suitably ragged, irregular look to the lot.  The blue/white checkerboard cloths are a nice unifying feature, I should really do something on my stuff for more obvious "gang wear" from one group to the next.

I think I've found an opponent to my Turnip pirates.

These are the Gardners to pull up the Turnips

After telling everyone at North Star 'no more Turnips', I went and painted 5 more last night.

I actually did them with an eye on Xeno Rampant. This extra 5 mean I could field a Turnip28-esque Stargrave Crew now, but these  I've put on muddy bases as I'm going try and do up around 30 to use as a Xeno Rampant force, and set them on their muddy homeworld (I've set my Stargrave stuff up as being on a desert world.)

If I get another batch done, I might start a new Xeno Rampant thread for them.

Those cultist heads fit here perfectly, great results!

They do look good.
I am surprised no one has tried the Crooked Dice Corn Dolls (https://crooked-dice.co.uk/product/corn-dolls/) for this.

I really like that subtle color shift on the lower edge of the mask. Very clever and appropriate

I've got Artmaster Studios to paint up our 'Gardeners'.

Myself and Dean put together these models from the Oathmark plastic Dwarves (both the Heavy Infantry and the new Light Infantry) and Stargrave arms/ weapons.

They look good
I am going to use squats for a crew

The vegetable related nonsense continues.

My three latest conversions, on the painting table soon.

It's October, shouldn't you be on to pumpkins rather than turnips? 

I notice I seem to be painting a lot of orange lately myself. 

[nicknorthstar]

Funny you should say that.

When I was a lad in the 70s, we'd only seen pumpkins in Charlie Brown cartoons. We actually carved turnips for halloween, though they strictly speaking were swedes, up north we called them turnips. The smell still reminds me of Halloween.

Suitably creepy, which is pretty much the whole point of a jack o'lantern in the first place.
