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.

Space Marine Armorium Cherub

Out of all of the horrors in the Warhammer 40k universe, the cherubs creep me out the most... It's one of the most grimdark things in the universe. #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #armoriumcherub #spacemarines #astartes #adeptusastartes #new40k

RTT Tournament results!

I played in a small RTT in Holton today and went 2-1, finishing 5th and beat one of the top players in our conference! (I sqeaked by with a 1-point victory...) I may have been able to beat my second opponent if had I made better selections for secondary objectives. In hindsight, I could have easily won but no matter how I plan for games on paper, there's no better teacher than experience. I'm tuning up my list for the Bugeater Grand Tournament next month in Omaha and I think I'm getting close to my final list. It's not anything really nasty, but it's just solid, durable units. I'm digging it.

Warhammer 40k Primarch Rumors

There's are a couple of rumors floating around from Games Workshop about new Warhammer 40k rules and models releases; as well as major changes to the fluff. Rumor 1: All of the Primarchs will return, including the dead. Rumor 2: One of the traitor Primarchs will become a loyalist and one of the Imperial loyalists will become a traitor. I got into a discussion with some people on a thread on Spiky Bits' Facebook page about it and here are my theories. The Emperor will briefly return, only to be killed again. Once he finally dies, all of the pysker souls he's been consuming on the golden throne will coalesce and bring all of the dead primarchs back to life. The missing primarachs will rush back to Holy Terra like moths to a flame. Of course, this means both Horus and Sanguinius have returned as well. Horus will see the results of his actions and will repent his wicked ways, blame Ebrus/Logar and the Word Bearers for tricking him into corruption and turn to the sid...
