My Tuber-Infected Dream
What I've Got
These lads appeared on What Are You Painting Now? somewhen last year.
These are Rootlings, one of the cult troops for Turnip28. It’s perhaps an odd choice not to kick off the project with one of the main options, but they didn’t require conversion and didn’t require Napoleonic uniforms to be painted.
The minis are GW’s goblin town goblins, the second trip out for this kit. They’re painted mostly with contrasts and look a bit like ass up close. They also look like ass from a distance if I’m honest but Turnip’s supposed to be grungy right?
Like ass
Multi-based (and still look like ass)I’ve gone for mutli-basing for ease of … something. My weird start has given me a chance to play with the base. I like it, but the huge craters for puddles aren’t required. They’re done with UV resin and I can dribble it on to a flatter base just as easily.
There’s something to be said for ass. Without it we’d have no Lloyd shots. Aside from that the grime is a feature and you’re setting up to play not go for a Golden Demon. Keep up the good work. I also hope to see an interesting banner in future.
I hadn’t thought of adding a standard but I like it. I think picking up a standard bearer off Well Known Auction Site is within the spirit of a spring clean challenge.
I’m enjoying the Turnips & Tubers kit bash. What are the rules you’re using? I missed that, maybe.
It has its own rules here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/turnip28-core-81080090
Despite it being a Patreon link they’re free.
Brilliant! Thanks!
Might have a run at bashing my hordes of plastic sprues into something useful.
I can recommend it. It’s the most fun I’ve had with plastic crack for a good while.
It does indeed look like the kind of zany fun I’m looking for. I’ve downloaded the pdf, will sent it off to my local printshop for a nice b&w copy. After that, it’s time to bash all my kits into fun toys.
Brilliant project, totally inspiring! ?
