This is awesome! I had seen photos of Turnip28 minis in the past, but they always looked so very gloomy and washed out with browns and blacks that I dismissed them as dull. But, after watching your video, I see how much humor and cleverness there is in this setting - I've ordered some Continental infantry and I'm going to start kitbashing some minis soon! Thanks for showing this!
Looks good & weird! Reminds me of some of the unique kitbash minis from Mordheim/Necromunda where the people making the minis are using a variety of different materials.
I've been so excited for this one and it was all I wanted and more! Thank you for another awesome vid, and the fodder is looking absolutely *chef's kiss* (if the chef was a giant, mutated turnip)
There's a newish race that's been added to wargames Atlantic's death fields range called the Quar...? Possibly? Soon as I saw them, I thought of Turnip28. They'd fit in pretty easily with just a bit of grungy, grubby kitbashing. Worth a look for anyone thinking of trying the game.
Seen that too and thought the same thing, but I've recently indexed all the plastic, metal, resin sitting in boxes and there's circa 800 to go at. Not sure that I need another 50 or so, although at those numbers what's another 50🤫. At current rates it's 12-18 months effort
@@peterclarke7240 But it is a lovely spreadsheet. 🤣Unit size, base size, storage solution, current process step, including the 200 that have been finished since November when it was setup. And I've only added 50 or so to it. 🤣
If you have a 3d printer, you can scale them down a little bit (~90%-95% of original size) and they can work quite well with perry miniatures for kitbashing. They've also made all sorts of stuff for melee, charging, shooting, mutated growths, etc. if that's your thing :P
Quite possibly the most disturbing minis and world you've introduced (subjected? 😛) us to! Congratulations and thank you! LOL What an absolutely upsetting and bonkers setting. I certainly will not be looking at root vegetables the same way now. I'll also be on the look out for opportunities to stick tufts on minis and use that Umber wash! PS - get that turnip bit checked out!
Whenever I pick up a new mini, I always look up the Mr Sledgehammer video first. Imagine my surprise when Im about to paint a Potato Prussian and there's a Mr Sledgehammer video for it just 3 days ago.
Wow, these look great. I didn't realize that Turnip 28 had official miniatures! I'll have to look them up (but, really, I've always liked the idea of kitbashing my own for this game).
The Swollen Magglet magazine is just... stuffed with conversion ideas, from people doing 'straight' Napoleonic and Agincourt foot knight conversions, to really weird nonsense with mushrooms and the like. It's bonkers how far people are pushing the imagery of the game as it expands!
I tried very hard to try and come up with some root vegetable related clever way to work in "7 men of Gascony" but was unable to. Failure on my part, but brilliance on yours. Excellent work all around. Cheers!
If (like me) you can't get colour forge, mixing Vallejo primers (5 parts German Brown/2 parts Black) gives a great deep brown primer for brush or airbrush.
Why have I never thought of adding static grass/ tufts to miniatures to get some awesome organic decaying monsters for 7TV? You are awesome and creative. Love it. 🍾
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Got to say there are 4 corn dolls from Crooked Dice that are sitting there waiting to be loved. I've never started them because the paint scheme never quite fitted. I can now see these with some 1mm static dead grass added, really making a difference. Thanks for the inspiration.
Yes they are! By SaintDecent, if I'm remembering correctly - they're proper grim. There's a pretty huge range available through Max's licensed printers and on MyMiniFactory now.
I'd love to give them a shot, but they're *never* in stock on this side of the Channel. I just double-checked four online retailers and nobody's got them. 😭 Or I pay *twenty quid* for shipping!
These are by far the strangest figures I have ever seen. You did a fantastic job of painting them and they have a nice grungy look to them. I am impressed that they can be made by converting existing kit and they give you the ones to buy. Thanks for sharing this.
