Tales of a hobby butterfly

had a day off from work on sunday and having moved home last week wanted to explore the area with my other galf so we went on an adventure to check out the illford gaming club, which was time well spent. Met a group of like minded people and should have some new saga opponents as well as other games. Had a chat about turnip 28 and saw the project on xlbs now i have the turnip bug. This is great as it will use up some 28 mm napoleonics that i had sitting around. They were ment for sharp practice but half way through collecting the armies i decided to build them in 18mm miniatures rather than 28mm which is cool but left lots of figures in the shame pile but now they haveba new muddy home in turnip 28.

The first force im working on will be a standard force organisation rather than following a cult.

It will be made up of a single toff with two toadys allowing four units of followers, i chose to convert up a unit of fodder armed with black powder weapons, kind of wanted to model them with pikes but as this is ment to be reducing the shame pile i went with what i had. These will be converted from british line infantry

one unit of brutes with black powder weapons made from some french dragoons.

i kind of fancied a cannon so the next unit is a stump gun.

the last unit in the force will be cavelry in the form of three bastsrds eith melee wespons. The cavelry will be made using some cold ones from the shame pile and milliput and green stiff to make them odd.

time to get converting
