Painting for Turnip28: Foul Fodder & Rancid Roots [How I Paint Things]

"You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll cheer as demented peasants kick each other to death in the mud."
Turnip28 is... well, it's a lot. Like Napoleon stood for a portrait by Hieronymus Bosch. A post-apocalyptic world where instead of just stagnating, civilization slid backward into a deep, muddy hole. Where root-worshipping cults throw parades of hapless, mutated peasants at one another in the name of their chosen vegetable. Where a turnip will feasibly contain gristle, a chunk of splintered bone, a little hair...
It's all very, very gross.

THE BASE:
Start with a thin layer of Stirland Mud. Add tufts, then more Stirland Mud, working it into the tufts so they look clogged and grimy. Lightly overbrush a grimy, yellowish brown - I've used Vallejo Flat Earth - and once dry, dab gloss varnish 'puddles' on the base around the bottom of the tuft clods. Paint the base rim in a dark brown and done!

I discovered Turnip28 via this video and I'm currently bashing up my first figure right now

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Got to say there are 4 corn dolls from Crooked Dice that are sitting there waiting to be loved. I've never started them because the paint scheme never quite fitted. I can now see these with some 1mm static dead grass added, really making a difference. Thanks for the inspiration.

This is awesome! I had seen photos of Turnip28 minis in the past, but they always looked so very gloomy and washed out with browns and blacks that I dismissed them as dull. But, after watching your video, I see how much humor and cleverness there is in this setting - I've ordered some Continental infantry and I'm going to start kitbashing some minis soon! Thanks for showing this!

I'd thoroughly recommend downloading the free rulebook as well! It's really well presented, and the humour in there is tongue in cheek fun throughout.

There's a newish race that's been added to wargames Atlantic's death fields range called the Quar...? Possibly? Soon as I saw them, I thought of Turnip28. They'd fit in pretty easily with just a bit of grungy, grubby kitbashing. Worth a look for anyone thinking of trying the game.

@argy8141 2 ай бұрын

Seen that too and thought the same thing, but I've recently indexed all the plastic, metal, resin sitting in boxes and there's circa 800 to go at. Not sure that I need another 50 or so, although at those numbers what's another 50🤫. At current rates it's 12-18 months effort

@zakk143 2 ай бұрын

If you have a 3d printer, you can scale them down a little bit (~90%-95% of original size) and they can work quite well with perry miniatures for kitbashing. They've also made all sorts of stuff for melee, charging, shooting, mutated growths, etc. if that's your thing :P

These are by far the strangest figures I have ever seen. You did a fantastic job of painting them and they have a nice grungy look to them. I am impressed that they can be made by converting existing kit and they give you the ones to buy. Thanks for sharing this.

I certainly will not be looking at root vegetables the same way now. I'll also be on the look out for opportunities to stick tufts on minis and use that Umber wash! PS - get that turnip bit checked out!
