My Tuber-Infected Dream

First up we have a part-painted unit of Brutes (in Turnip28 these are the elites – or at least the least awful troops – equivalent to grenadiers I suppose). The six are the complete unit. These are the 1815 French from Warlord Games, with heads from the Perry brothers’ WOTR Men at Arms. These are first as they’re the simplest conversion.

Next up we have more sprues. More French from Warlord; enough to make a unit of 12 Fodder (the base troop type) and six Grogs (another cult unit, think Napoleon’s Old Guard – les Grognards).

Other than that I have a couple of sprues of British Riflemen from Wargames Atlantic. These will make a unit of four Chaff (skirmishers in Turnip28) and an officer.

Speaking of officers, they’re called Snobs in Turnip28. We have two sorts: Toadies, the lower level and Toffs, the generals. The former can lead one unit, the latter two. A typical game has one Toff and two Toadies, so four units.

This collection of bits will become the Toff. He’s an Oathmark goblin, with a 3d-printed head and a bicorne from Perry (I have a lot of those heads and hats for the conversions to come). The creature is (I think) from Zinge Industries. The Toff will lead from the palanquin.

This is enough heads and more than enough bicornes.

Finally for this stage of the project there’s the artillery. Again from Perry, these are Russians – mostly because that was the biggest gun I could find on their site.

In total I have one unit already, and plan to do five more: Brutes, Chaff, Fodder, Grogs and a cannon (and Snobs). There are more cult units and cavalry, none of which I have minis for so far. I also plan to knock up some terrain. I’ve not shown the bits of balsa and foam board but they’re ready to go.

The observant will note that’s a strange mix British, French and Russian minis in one project. It’s Turnip, it really doesn’t matter.
