Indie Of The Week - Sludge & Turnip28!
Ben talks us through two rather quirky and unique looking wargames which are coming to the tabletop soon. Fancy going back to the era of Blanchitsu?

These are some very, very interesting games which really go to the heart of the hobby and what makes it fun. We're loving the aesthetic and are going to be keeping an eye on the development of both games.

It’s the Weekend!
As soon as the ww3:ty West Germans are launched tomorrow and I can use the lists on forces I’ll place my order for at least one of those starter boxes and a few supplementary units.
As for that new Moonstone box – just stop it!
MoooooOOOOOOOnstone
Remember the old PC game Moonstone? What an incredibly violent game that was!
hadn’t heard of it, had to go and look it up and it doesn’t rind any bells, but then I wasn’t playing many games when it came out
Verflucht! The new West German lists ARE already available on forces.team-yankee.com
have you seen all of the stuff from the launch?
Been looking at the launch and TY site for a while, liking the look of a lot of it, but as it’s my 2nd TY army I’m trying to be ‘efficient’ in my choices (at least for my first order). What can I buy and still run different formations? A couple of the West German starter boxes supplemented with some infantry (breaking down those to work it out) and some AA capability gives me a number of list options (“Leopard 2 Panzeraufklärungs Kompanie” OR “Leopard 2A5 Panzer Kompanie” running with a separate “Marder 2 Panzergrenadier Kompanie” OR “Marder 2 Panzergrenadier… Read more »
Hive creepers, just in time to escape the lockup.
Oh man. That Necromunda set looks great.
I loved Necromunda when it first came out. Delaque was my gang.
Would love to win this one and play it with my children.
Great starting point for newbies.
They have done a good job with the look of the Delaque although I always said their name wrong.
I think all the gangs look better.
It was just a shame they didn’t have all the gangs and rules in the first new starter set.
And pronouncing the name wrong or different is just because back then these was no YouTube. 😉
The advent of YouTube hasn’t corrected / clarified all pronunciation issues, where are we with A-bad-one / Abad-a-don again?
ha ha that crazy ineffective Warmaster!
I think he prefers Ted
Necromunda… The battle cry of Teenage Undead Ninja Turtles…
more like Teenage Ninja Goth Hipsters 😉
I would totally buy that gang!
Sludge looks promising I like the blend of black powder and fantasy. It adds a sense of quirkiness like Wars of Oz. Very tempted with the French Indian Wars Kickstarter Paul Hicks does great work but I’m also tempted by the new West Germans….decisions decisions and lots of temptations ☺️
Indeed – lots of very fascinating new additions to the tabletop world this time around.
Catnip28!
Shouldn’t that be *********?
Naaaah…
you’re not trying to win another GW game, aren’t you ? 😉
I wouldn’t know where to put it
then stop commenting … you might win something by accident again 😛
Nah, too much potential fun in all the gnashing and whining of the others should I win again XD
Poddington Peas army is a must surely
Necromunda, yes! and almost 100K subs, we are almost there.
Since I have been put on the spot: yes, I said 40k needs new Orks… and they still do! The Beast Snagga Orks are boring and dull and while I’m all in favour for kit bashing: G’Wullu embraces the “one pose” model so hard that kit bashing gets really hard. Last edition Orks where head, arms, torso and a pair of legs. Mix and match to your hearts delight! The new box will not allow for that because of the bloody “one pose push fit” stuff G’Wullu is pushing so hard. You want proper Orks? Go and buy some Kromlech… Read more »
Both 40k and AoS “start collecting” kits do have ‘classic’ Orkes that can be combined.
Single pose minis are not fun for armies that should be kitbashed to heck and back like Orks, Chaos and Genestealer Cults.
The Imperial Guard are getting a new weapon/arms sprue so… it looks like GW isn’t changing them to monopose nonsense.
I tried to find any pictures of the new Ork sprews but I’m pretty much guessing they will be like any other recent release. And I’m talking about 40k Indomitus, the monthly magazine and even the grot BB team I have: kit bashing factor is zero unless you start using a saw. Which was not needed for the older orks. But even then: I don’t like the look of the Beast Snagga…. they look to “soft” and rounded… not Orky enough
Sludge looks really cool. Very 28mm Grim Dark ish.
nice friday night weekender to start relaxing 🙂
I was quite taken by the new Delaque models seen at the previews last week.
I have big love for Deadzone, but maybe Necromunda has something to offer for models.
Jerry’s been Tangoed
Those turnips look cute!
IT’s the weekend and it starts now, time to watch you know what we are going to watch, that’s right THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE!!!
Ben just a correction on the video AOS 3.0 is not out in 18 days they are going to show off the other side of the box the new army. We expect the release date will be about the 2nd week of July in line with previous big versions.
Ahhhh I see – well, very interesting indeed.
Really liking the aesthetic of both Sludge and Turnip28, will definitely be keeping an eye on how they both develop. I especially like the approach with Sludge, having some heads produced and advice to mix with third party plastics to prompt the kit bashing that is a core of Inq28 hobby.
Brilliant show people, really enjoying these Friday shows…
let the weekender fun begin.
that turnip game has a hint of labyrinth as well i think.
you guys may know this when the tornado first came out they had a lump of concrete in the nose as the radar system was still to be finalized.
If @fcostin likes those Warmaster ponies wait til she sees Happy Duck (https://www.patreon.com/HappyDuck3D).
nice one guys.
In this episode Ben bills Quacks of Quedlinburg with ducks for Free. Pundancer, get your game on man!
Would love to win that price 😀
