Merry Christmas

It is the season to be jolly and have a drink or two.

Or three.

Happy Rush Day

Happy 2112, unless of course you are in America in which case 1221 just does not work…

Turnip28 Cavalry

After adding some more mud to cover up the bright red tunics and a matt varnish to get rid of the ink shine, these Whelps or Bastards are done!

I probabaly added too much colour to these as the mud and ink wash pretty much covered it all up. I could have saved time by just going brown and adding a bit of drybrushing.

The New Year will have them trying out a “Bowel-Loosening Charge”. If you have not tried this mad little game, you really should!

Whats On The Table?

I started making some Turnip28 cavalary and a cannon some time ago and have only today got to the messy stage of adding the ink wash.

I think the red tunic on the cavalry is a bit too bright for Turnip28 so I will have to apply loads more mud to dull them down some more.

I have a few mud type effects, but the one I like at the moment is the AK Splatter Effects Dirt.

Black Armour Test

I want to start to do some black armour using the GW contrast paint so I have tested it on a few random old models.

They do look a bit dull, but I guess that is the point to a certain extent. Even with a bit of boltgun to pick out weapons and the occasional armour panel they still look very flat. A bit of edge highlighting will help.

A model with a little something in a different colour helps such as the skull shoulder pauldrons on this old Chaplain model.

I will have to try a few others out. At least they will get used in games of Stargrave and Rogue Stars.

Turnip28 Kickstarter

Turnip Max has just started a Kickstarter to product a load of Turnip28 STL files for his weird and whacky vegetable and mud based wargame. I do not have a 3D printer, but I know a man who does. The initial ask has been smashed and who knows where it could end…
