Painting for Turnip28: Foul Fodder & Rancid Roots [How I Paint Things]

[@benjaminashwell7474]

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!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I'd thoroughly recommend downloading the free rulebook as well! It's really well presented, and the humour in there is tongue in cheek fun throughout.

[@benjaminashwell7474]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Way ahead of ya! (But thanks for the suggestion!)

[@bierrepunk]

Thanks for doing some turnip28 ! The game is awesome and the lore is so crazy it needs to spread like the root !

[@irishtom30]

This has to be the coolest and weirdest aesthetic of any tabletop game. So insane and fun

[@zakk143]

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)

[@happygingertime]

I discovered Turnip28 via this video and I'm currently bashing up my first figure right now

[@blizzardgaming7070]

How's the regiment coming along?

[@happygingertime]

@blizzardgaming7070 I only have the one built and painted so far but I really like how it turned out.

[@herostrate]

Gorgeous paintjob on some gorgeous root veg!

[@MadhouseMinis]

A few months ago I bought some gloomtrench minis after watching you paint them. I think I might pick up these turnip boys for the same reason

[@zakk143]

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

[@JackSargePainting]

Man that looks like you had a lot of fun with them. So very cool in a grungy turnipy kind of way 😀

[@Jim-yk9if]

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!

[@Robopengy]

Yes! Ben wanting you to do Turnip for ages! Tubular!

[@robisonwells1]

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).

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

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!

[@HacksawsHobbyBunker]

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!

[@shauntaylor9251]

Been waiting for this one since I saw them on my mini factory There are sites selling the printed figures for those without 3D printers

[@philboulle]

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.

[@davidnandrin8825]

All hail the Root ! Well done Mister Sonic !

[@ShaunTame-re5us]

Great fun and beautifully Turniped!😂

[@ChuckThatNorris]

Love these! They look so good!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Well, 'good' is relative when you're a hapless, mud-drenched mutant in a vegetable-obsessed forever war... 😂 But thanks!

[@ogremark5]

I'll check out Turnip28!

[@neopreine]

Ils sont superbes 🤩

[@argy8141]

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]

I have to admit, I'm just passing along a tip I'd seen from the T28 community. Sharing the good ideas!

[@argy8141]

@@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.

[@ianlamont9434]

I've never played Turnip28 and probably never will but I absolutely love these weird grungy minis!

[@peterclarke7240]

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.

[@argy8141]

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]

@@argy8141 I feel you, friend. You know it's got bad when the most efficient way to deal with it is to deploy the spreadsheets!

[@argy8141]

@@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. 🤣

[@Fox01313]

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.

[@TheDuke07]

You try Monument Hobby's brown black primer? one of my favorites

[@AlastairPaterson]

Have a look at Hyrax Brown from Colour Forge. It dries super dark and super matt. Absolutely swear by it.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

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!

[@Castillo525]

YES!!! LOVE to see turnip28 stuff!

[@goforitpainting]

Really cool. 👍

[@richardhutchinson4740]

Colourforge do a great dark brown primer.

[@StackingLimit]

I wish they would make regular Napoleonic Mini's like this on campaign instead of always in PARADE dress. These are brilliant Troy!

[@Ernzt8]

Love these guys :)

[@jacqueslandry2319]

Those look amazing!. I'm trying to get my group interested in turnip 28 but everyone has Warhammer old world fever at the moment

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

They'll come around eventually! The roots run deep... 😜

[@moebiusmanara8286]

Thanks so much for doing Turnip28!

[@AnExtrovertPaints]

These look great!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

It's certainly a novel difference to pristine white uniforms! 😂

[@DynoIstryingtowriteasmuchaspos]

might I recommend Quar?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

The Quar are one of the few things I'll say just won't show up on the channel, I'm afraid. Just not a fan of them, myself.

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Troy . 🐺Loupis Canis .

[@bloodsalt]

Fantastic video mate, subbed! Really enjoy your laid back way of teaching :)

[@richardrussell7082]

I absolutely love Skull mask guy

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Skull Mask gives me the willies, since they're the only one that doesn't have a metal face covering... what's *under* there?!

[@tonyb3123]

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.

[@KristopherMelin-l4i]

What an odd subject for wargaming. You have officially piqued my curiosity! They look amazing!

[@dannydorito9134]

They look like something that wouldn't be out of place in Dark Souls but with a Napoleononic theme instead of a Medieval one?

[@johnkelley9877]

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.

[@Oviton]

A most special video, showing some special miniatures, in a special way. As always, you make difficult schemes very accessible. Well done.

[@dominicskelton3031]

Oh yes, I was hoping you'd wander into this madness at some point.... 😂

[@martinevans9757]

A turnip triumph! Great how-to, and a fine showcase of Max's sculpts. :)

[@LEF3133]

Really need to print these out and paint some up. These look amazing.

[@nickdavis5420]

They really do have that Jim Henson’s labyrinth look

[@kipjebo9142]

Great to see you giving Turnip28 the treatment and the love

[@phill8178]

Hail the root.

[@PaSantos1975]

Are these oficial Turnip minis? They are lovely. Love this game! Congrats! The paint job is stuning!

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

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.

Glad you did some Turnip28 minis my good friend
