Turnip28 Miniature

 

"Fine words butter no parsnips."

This is my first contribution to the growing number of models being converted for Max FitzGerald's new creation, #Turnip28.

It's a new 28mm miniature game he's developing with the help of Patreon.  Even before its release, painters and modelers have been creating new figures based on Max's artwork and the root veg theme. You can search for the very catchy Turnip28 hashtag to see what other fun things other gamers have cooked up (nay dug up!)

In a nutshell, it's Napoleonic soldiers with medieval heads/helmets and a healthy dose of grass and soil. Some of the art work I've seen on Instagram is quite stunning. A fair number of participants mention how refreshing the project is after experiencing fatigue from the deluge of Warhammer 40k that has flooded our online streams. 

There are no rules but the idea is so catchy that there are Turnip themed models and artwork popping up all over. I've ordered a few more models and hope to add some more converted models to my collection in the near future. Maybe turnip themed, maybe parsnips? Also, what would be the natural opponent to turnips? Pigs? Insects? Perhaps fruit trees?

Also of note, Max appears to have competed in the Chap Olympiad, an event I hope to one day compete.
