[@termi6523]

This is probably one of the most creative and thoughtfull armies i've seen from any wargame, definetly taking inspiration!

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

Thank you

[@thomaswetzel6796]

No I’m pretty sure there’s still a few towns with farmers harvesting the roots bounties and even a few with actual walls

[@martinevans9757]

By all the hairiest of roots, that is one amazing army! Just starting a journey into T28, thank you for the inspiration!

[@Ammonitemare1711]

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

[@jakelevinson7802]

I can’t tell you how much I love the little detail of one of the cannon balls on the great bombard, having the word duck written on it 😂

[@fotosrotas]

Great conversions and very creative sculpting! thanks for sharing, subscribed!

Amazing! Thank you for making Turnip content on KZbin! Great minis!

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

Thank you, glad you like them

[@samuelbroad11]

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.

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it

[@MisterTingles]

hanging tree head and mushroom face are my favorites

[@scottcrompton6931]

Love it. The banners especially are great, but honestly the whole mob are fantastic. Cheers. And the shambolic musical accompaniment is appreciated also!

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

Thank you

[@willgrundy9432]

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!

Thank you. Glad it was helpful

I hear Bruva Alfabusa has a very funny battle report of this game. A trip, that was...

[@chuckchalmers4960]

I just found out about this game and its already my favorite wargame. Sorry 40k and battletech, you have been replaced.

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

Turnip is great, though I am tempted to start some Battletech on the side.

[@chuckchalmers4960]

@@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.

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.

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.

[@tigerbomb909]

I have never watched a video that has made me want to go out and do some arts and crafts more than this one

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

Thank you, that's quite a compliment

[@briantakeuchi386]

I’m just about to go comment on every single Warhammer KZbinrS channel and challenge them to make a t28 video. This is so much cooler.

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

It would be great if there were some more videos on it, I think the Bruva Alfabusa one from a few weeks ago got quite a few more people into Turnip.

[@Melkor1205]

This is just wonderful! I think I have to look into this ^^

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

Thank you

[@jacobirving8999]

I think some great sword caps from Warhammer fantasy would make the chaf pop!

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

Yeah I've recently got some Warlord Landsknechts which are pretty similar, I might start adding some of them to future conversions.

[@teelturtle]

well... time to start making turnips!

[@gasmonkey1000]

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

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

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 KZbin videos on it already but I think I'll make my own pretty soon. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

[@gasmonkey1000]

@@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.

[@lordnaton6492]

What kit are the frygian helmets at 27:27 at? Specifically the one with the face mask?

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

They're from the Warlord Macedonian Phalangites box. The sprue has one of those masked heads for every 4 figures.

[@kofibrake]

John Blanched up to 100. If Heironimous Bosch played Age of Sigmar, this would be his army.

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!

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

Yeah Sludge seems pretty good, I prefer that more detailed list building to the simple units used by Turnip.

[@deepjoes1072]

Do you still plan to make a tutorial on how to convert these lads?

[@danielecarnelli5553]

Amazing!!! 😍

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

Thank you

[@jonnze8949]

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.

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

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.

[@primslimO]

Fantastic!

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

Thank you

[@didgeridont777]

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.

Awesome video, makes me want to finally start a turnip army

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

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).

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

Thank you

[@rulero4breads]

I really like the rounded bases, but how do you mark if certain models are dead already?

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

Thank you for the compliment. For casualties I just use wound markers and know that Infantry units have their attacks reduced when they take wounds.

[@gingerwhale871]

@@Dirtydoghobbies haha as a Munich native au kinda gotta build that it now

[@lordnaton6492]

What an amazing video! There´s so much inspiration to be taken from this that It makes me want to order half a dozen kits and get converting!

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

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.

[@lordnaton6492]

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.

[@CrossingObstaclesGaming]

Very nice! Subscribed! =)

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

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 KZbin.

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.

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

[@Deliverygrot]

I know this a old video but can you tell me with more details how did you make that banner with the monalissa

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

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).

[@Dirtydoghobbies]

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.

[@Deliverygrot]

​@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
