​

Hey everyone ! With the prospect of the first Turnipcon in a few weeks and having been invited to take part, I felt like I needed to come with fresh miniatures (I just can't come with exclusively old models to any game) and I thought I could really use a big piece to represent a few of the cult options.

Does anyone else Turnip28 on here? Appreciate its not Oldhammer, but shares some aspects with to the old skool mentality.

I follow along, and am slowly accruing enough sprues to assemble a little force.

I find the possibilities a little overwhelming if I'm honest

Oh dear, I guess the possibilities for minis are quite open to interpretation and imaginative possibilities?
I have started pretty basic before diving in too hard, but at least the armies are only small bands of models.

I dabbled, but my minis got stripped and chopped for Trench Crusade.

Trench Crusade?!? You hipster!

 

[Slave to Darkness]

Tbh, I like the aesthetic, rules are ok ish, I'm not foaming at the mouth just because it's Thomas writing them. The warbands I have are usable in Trench Crusade but are actually for a game I'm developing, both are heavily religious themed.

I will return to Turnip one day, love the setting. I just got bored of converting Perry Napoleonics with Agincourt foot knights. I didn't really have much of a plan and my conversions suffered because of it. If a project isn't fun then it's not the time to do it I think.

 

[Brother Meredith]

Oh course, no point forcing yourself if not inspired/motivated.
I picked up some conversion 3d bits and have been chopping up some fine Napoleonic plastics to try and make up my characters, but I really enjoy converting (probably more so than painting!).

Painting is my least favourite part of the hobby, I live for converting and kitbashing though.

As for the original post, I love the giant root 'thingy', only just noticed the head with the hat.
