Great to see them all like this and hear some of the stories behind them, I think we can all relate to how the army progresses and changes over time. Also never really realized how huge your army was! Very impressive
wow wee, this is beautifully and hilariously narrated, well shot, edited and presented. (tbh watched at 1.25 speed!) what a stunning collection. I don't know what I love more, the banners, the cohesiveness, the cruel mutant dark comedy or the narrative. easily the best little gaming vid I've seen in ages. I'm stunned and subbed. Thank you so much.
Love it. The banners especially are great, but honestly the whole mob are fantastic. Cheers. And the shambolic musical accompaniment is appreciated also!
I've got a few conversion and painting coming up, I don't think I'll do any Battle reports anytime soon but I'd recommend the Bruva Alfabusa video from a few days ago if you haven't seen it.
I love the sickly yellow look that matches the setting so well! I wonder if itd look exemplar of a Turnip28 army if you added a mud wash to the legs to show their ever march
Thank you. For the mud, realistically they probably should have a lot more than I've given them but I wanted to leave a bit more room for the paint job
Thank you. If you do get some I would recommend Googling the sprues to make sure you get some posable infantry with separate arms to base the infantry around, some Napoleonic kits can be a little too mono-pose. Though mono-pose ones can be nice to sprinkle in later.
Absolutely. I always like to plan out my conversions like this. I think perry miniatures are perfect for this kind of thing because of the large range of kits they produce and how cross-compatible they are.
This was really inspiring your designs are incredible. I would love to see you do a battle with another turnip 28 army of equal size I think you’d be the first large scale turnip 28 battle on RU-vid.
Superb army fella! I love the creativity that T28 encourages! As a newb to Turnip, I found this showcase to be very informative and enjoyable to watch, thank you!
Really inspiring stuff! Hats off to you sir! Lovely stuff! Turnip is something I’ve been looking into and this vid has got my kit bashing and converting juices going! Bravo!
Hello! I was just wondering what music you used for the background in this video. Thanks! Your models look awesome! Love the grunge inherent to the Turnip28 setting and you nail that fun and weird grunge held abundant by the setting.
Thank you. The music is a Filmora track BBQ Blues, just some generic happy music but I slowed it to 60% and turned off the pitch correction, I wanted it to sound unsettling but still a bit gimmicky.
Utterly amazing! Your painting and kitbashing is utterly amazing! If you're willing could ya give advice for my own kitbashing ideas for Turnip28? Either way God bless ya man
Thank you. Sorry I took a while to respond , for advice I'd say the main thing for Turnip is to google image search sprues before buying them to make sure there is enough customisability on the figures (eg. the Perry 1807 French infantry is good but the 1812 kit is too monopose). I'd also recommend sprue-goo for assembly, there are a few RU-vid videos on it already but I think I'll make my own pretty soon. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
@@Dirtydoghobbies Thanks man. Tbh I have an idea for a toff but I'm a bit concerned about the weight. Essentially the idea is take the Warlord games Oliver Cromwell model, make a platform to serve as the toff's "mount" and some sticks for appropriately kitbashed Roman Slave minis also from Warlord games to carry him around (and the toff's former mount's head on the end of the stick). I'm a bit worried about the weight distribution naturally though.
Thank you. I hope you join in, the biggest piece of advice I can give is if you go the kit-bash route Google image search the sprues before you buy a kit to make sure they have enough customisability (e.g. separate arms).
-Good choice when it comes to music. (Its very thematic) -understandable though process behind each model. -competent presentation. -realising that all the indescribable horrors I just witnessed will lead me to slowly turn insane... A well, can't have everything. At least I saw the giant enemy crab.
@@Dirtydoghobbies I mean, im not getting rid of any of my lances, i put alot of work into those mechs. But im gonna do my best to convert some of my friends to playing turnip 28.
G'day from across the ditch! Your army is looking great, have you looked into Sludge? I've just started building my second army and would be quite keen to use it for both Sludge and Turnip28!
I'm inspired to finish my uploads and publish them. Kitbash, conversion, sculpt. Is the best thing about all this faffin' about with glue and plastic! XD
Damn, thats such a great collection with amazing ideas and paintjobs and freehands. But I really need to stop looking at T28 content. I'll never come up with something myself. I always want to steal. The most difficult part is names for units or characters. Its so british and Max' material has such a weird vocabulary and flavor thats very hard to understand and adapt to as a German.
Thank you for the compliments. If you are ever interested in collecting an army I don't think you need to worry about coming up with brand new ideas, my first figures were pretty generic for Turnip figures and I started adding ideas to it over time. A lot of originality comes from finding new sources to steal ideas from rather than creating a new idea from nothing, a big source for my freehand pictures was American Traditional flash tattoos. I can see how most of the unit names would be untranslatable but there is a pretty open Facebook group for Turnip that I'm sure would help you out if you don't understand something.
Aww, I knew the hobby horse idea was too good to not be used by someone already. Now I have to come up with something different. Amazing models, the Mona Lisa banner is the greatest piece of art Cist has ever seen. The Grand Bombard is worth being blown up into million root pieces for.
Thank you for the compliments. As for the hobby horse, I think I nicked the idea from a Eureka figure something like that so don't worry about re-using it :-)
Amazing! look forward to all your future T28 creations and videos. Reminds me I've got a shoe box of unfinished turnip troupe of my own 😬 Thanks .. 🐌🐌🥕🍄🐸🐴🪱🍄🥕🐌🐌
I'd like to make some more videos when I'm able to in a month or so and banners is top of the list but until then here's a summary: Assembly: I cut a piece of 0.5-1 mm plasticcard to the right shape and glue superglue it to a 1-1.2mm diameter piece of brass rod (or a hollow tube so you can pin something to the top). Heat and bend it with a heat gun or lighter to get the waves. Sharpen the edge of the plastic to butterknife sharp to hide the thickness of the plastic. Sculpt the ruffles of the sleeve around the rod in milliput, greenstuff etc (you can smooth Milliput by brushing concentrated alcohol over it). Drill a hole through the models hand and glue the flag in place trying to get multiple contact points. Painting: Base coat the 'fabric' it with some simple highlights. Print a picture the same size as you want the painting to be and use a straight piece of metal or plastic to give it a very thin coat to the back side of the paper. Press the paper in place on the face of the flag and trace the key lines with a soft pencil so they transfer paint onto the flag like carbon paper. Colour the picture in with acrylic paints using the original picture as reference (in the case of the Mona Lisa that probably took about 3 hours) Glaze the underside of the flag folds with a dark shadow tone (I use black-brown).
You can do them in paper as well, there's a great video if you search Wargmes, Soldiers and Strategy; Carrying the Banner. It's a little finicky in that video but if you pick a design without a border you can cut it oversize, be a bit rougher with the folding, cut it to shape after it's in place and paint the edges afterwards.
@Dirtydoghobbies thanks I'm actually going to make a turnip army base on my country and for some reason we have banner and flags with ton of intricate detail so this help a lot I was planning making it out of paper if you didn't respond thanks really
Yeah I've got three videos planned out, the next will be out in a few days and will be about glue for plastic conversions and the third will be a Turnip conversion and painting one
I think I'll do a video on some of the conversions for the infantry soon. I'd like to do a big monster build at some point but I think I'd need to upgrade my computer first to handle the footage
The spikes are mostly 1mm styrene rod just sharpened with a knife but I also use spare spear shafts etc. Most of the helmets are done in Greenstuff, that might be a good next video for me to do
The music is a Filmora track BBQ Blues, just some generic happy music but I slowed it to 60% and turned off the pitch correction, I wanted it to sound unsettling but still a bit gimmicky.
I don't remeber the name of the song but it was some awful genericly happy music, I just slowed it down, to about 60% speed from memory, and turned off pitch corection
