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.

Salamanders Badab War Veteran

Primaris Marines are great sculpts, but they will never have the soul of the old hand-sculpted models. The Badab War is my favorite battle in the 40k universe and its one of the reasons that the Salamanders are my favorite Space Marine chapter. #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #salamanders #salamanders40k #28mm #spacemarines40k #oldhammer #badabwar #astartes #armageddon40k

Bad News for Deathwing

The new Balance Data Slate was released today for Warhammer 40k 9th edition and my beloved Dark Angels Deathwing list took a beating. If you don't have the codex, the fourth bullet point was the rule that gave Inner Circle infantry units, like Deathwing Terminators, Transhuman Physiology. Basically, the key feature that most players loved about the list. Rest in peace, Deathwing, we hardly knew ye. Also, what a crappy way to write that rule?! Why not simply include a sentence that says, Inner Circle models do not benefit from transhuman without use of a strategem? I know 10th edition is supposed to be cleaner and easier to understand, but this does not bode well. I'm not really a loyal Dark Angels player (see what I did there?) so I'll just shift back to playing one of my other Marines armies or orks. I've been day dreaming about a Thunder Warriors army again and dug out some bits to work on conversions. I'm loving the idea of a Age of Stryfe White Scars/Star Hunt...

Callidus Assassin

This is my newly painted Callidus assassin, Mary Poppin-yourbackfield. She scores points. I hate that I have to play one of these to stay competitive. Yar.
