Turnip28 - The Root Spreads......

[@TimothyNiederriter]

I see Turnip 28, I click.

[@OnPointHQ]

This is an awesome approach Timothy and I wholeheartedly agree with you 😃👍

[@steveharbour845]

These are surely an army to root for. Excellent work as always 👍

[@OnPointHQ]

Thanks Steve, much appreciated! I'm really looking forward to seeing this one completed. A good thing about Turnip28 is that I can use these units for another cult just by adding a few new miniatures 🙂

[@dm51964]

So brilliant ,disturbing and inspiring and really looking forward to seeing the whole force painted and the Snail Knights are genius

[@OnPointHQ]

That's very kind, thank you! I'm really enjoying working on this second army and it seems to be taking on a life of its own. I'm definitely happy with how it is turning out though. One good thing about Turnip28 armies is that you don't need too many units so I'm hoping this will be completed soon 😀

[@BrushQuill]

Some more brilliant work Ste. You make kitbashing an art form.

[@OnPointHQ]

Thanks Cal! These medieval chaps were a lot of fun to put together using the three kits. They went together really well and look like a pretty frightening bunch all round 😃

[@boneman-calciumenjoyer8290]

Your videos are calming. The calm music in the background combined with you talking about your models gives me nostalgia. You have a good voice for stuff like this too. I'm rambling again. Thanks for the video, it's fun.

[@62seano]

They look amazing Ste love the snail knights, slowest cavalry charge ever lol, and the guy getting his eye pecked out is excellent

[@OnPointHQ]

Cheers Sean! Yeah the snail charge may take some time to get up to speed but it will be worth it! I absolutely love that head from the Fireforge box, so much character and eccentricness to the sculpt and it works really well with the Frostgrave bodies 🙂

[@ecyor0]

Run, tailors, run! Or she'll eat you all e'en now!

[@granapriego]

Really great work Ste. Your twisted creativity holds no bounds.

[@OnPointHQ]

Thanks Anthony! As far as twisted creativity goes, I think Turnip28 is well suited to it and the kitbashing side of it is always a lot of fun 🙂

[@worldhistoryminiatureshous9757]

Some very cool units there ! Well done with the roots conversion . That is a great idea ! Love the mounted snails also . Cheers ! Robert .

[@OnPointHQ]

Cheers Robert! That's what I really like about Turnip28 in that the rules give you the unit type but then you are really free to create them how you imagine them to be. I honestly thought I'd never be creating something as strange as a snail knight but....well there he is 😃

[@worldhistoryminiatureshous9757]

@@OnPointHQ Love when someone of the hobby let it creativity goes !

[@samibures9152]

Another great demonstration that evidences that you are THE Kitbashing Maestro

[@OnPointHQ]

That's awesome, thank you Sami! Putting these three kits together was really interesting and they all go together so well. Turnip28 is most definitely a kitbashing dream project as there really is no bounds to what you can create. I'm already planning my third army 🙂

[@vazk-thret]

Surely... this man is the son of GOD!

[@OnPointHQ]

Some type of muddy root vegetable god 😃👍

[@sonwukong7602]

I just discovered your channel and this episode is so inspiring. Thanks for showing your custom minis, it brings so many ideas, and thanks for talking about the brand and the type of kit you use.

[@OnPointHQ]

That's awesome, thank you! Really glad that you found the video helpful. I think with kitbashing videos, it's always useful to list the different bits and pieces used in case others want to have a go at a particular conversion themselves 😃👍

[@AVspectre]

Thanks for explaining about the tufts. I’ve been wondering how to create that effect. :)

[@OnPointHQ]

It's a really simple trick that I accidentally discovered accidentally! I had applied a really heavy wash to one of my first bases and noticed how the wash had made the tufts set. A really simple effect and it looks pretty good 😃

[@jk_actual]

Class! Great kit combos. Overall look is awesome.

[@OnPointHQ]

That's awesome, thank you! This was a really interesting and enjoyable regiment to work on and hopefully demonstrates the modelling freedom within Turnip28. I've just started my third regiment so there will definitely be a video about that soon 😀

[@kitchenwargamers4141]

Great update on your Turnip project Ste. You are really getting me very interested in this, so I might try and build a couple of models and see how it goes. Thanks mate 😁👍

[@OnPointHQ]

Thanks Marc and I would definitely recommend having a go! There is literally no wrong or right way of making these and it is a great way of using up bits and pieces from old kits and your bits boxes 😃

[@calebhurst2529]

Excellent Snail Knight! Great use of parts :D

[@OnPointHQ]

Cheers Caleb, much appreciated! I think of all the Turnip28 bits and pieces I've made, the Snail Knight is definitely my favourite 😃👍

[@lionheart3916]

Great work ste really like the kit bashing and the snail looks great 👍

[@OnPointHQ]

Thank you! The snail was one of the most bizarre things I've worked on in many years but was immensely enjoyable to build and paint 😀

[@infectedmonkey473]

Your roots and mud look really authentic 👍. Congratulations. Proper manky.

[@OnPointHQ]

Thanks buddy, definitely the look I was aiming for! The Vallejo mud and water effect combination is definitely my go to for Turnip28 basing now. Simple to apply and really looks the part 🙂

[@raycarpenter6466]

Late to the party .. But I absolutely love the miniatures You have put together !

[@OnPointHQ]

It's never too late to get into Turnip28! Probably my favourite game for being able to kitbash my armies. So much freedom for creativity and creating really unique and individual units and character pieces. Definitely recommended 😃👍

[@stevesandford1437]

NO INTEREST in 'Turnip 28' or 'fantasy' figures generally... (But HOW I LOVE how STE gives us his enthusiasm, creativity and talent...) I LOVED trying to identify what STUFF Steve used to personalise/'kit-bash' his BRILLIANT creations... Even some WILD WEST plakkie 'Great Escape' stuff in there!!! (The minis look fantastic...) I find with this channel that there is always something to be learned... (EVEN if the subject isn't 'your thing'...) As well as a VERY TALENTED and innovative painter and modeler, STE is such a brilliant and engaging PRESENTER... (Very natural, very conversational...) Not that it's a conversation BUT IT FEELS LIKE THAT!!! (COULD YOU use 'tufts' on WWII snipers in the way Steve has here???) I BET you could!!! (So glad I subscribed to this channel...) xx SF

[@OnPointHQ]

That's awesome, cheers Steve! Turnip28 is one of those games/aesthetics that won't appeal to everyone but I've been fascinated by it since I first saw it last year. The grimdark background and atmosphere combined with the scope for so much creativity and kitbashing really appeals to me. I can definitely say without a doubt that it's a project that U have a lot of enthusiasm for and it certainly scratches a creativity itch! Thanks as always for taking the time to watch and comment 🙂

[@vicsminiatures7949]

Fantastic work! The figures and the Snail look awesome!

[@OnPointHQ]

Thanks Victor! The snail is probably one of the most enjoyable things that I've built and painted in a long time,it's such a strange combination of bits and pieces that went together really well 😀

[@vicsminiatures7949]

@@OnPointHQ It's so cool looking!

[@bickercity6392]

I am repelled and intrigued at the same time

[@OnPointHQ]

That's definitely the best way to describe Turnip28 in my opinion so I must be doing something right 😁

[@danbuman8422]

Such cool stuff! I love the creativity that you put into these. Looks like tons of fun. Looking forward to more :)

[@OnPointHQ]

That's awesome, thanks Dan! I have definitely had a lot of fun working on the two Turnip28 armies and I'm always looking through bits boxes and old plastic kits to see what I can put together next. I would definitely recommend having a go 🙂

[@7thson726]

I both praise and hate you for this 😅 May the Root spread. Class stuff dude 👍

[@OnPointHQ]

Cheers mate! The root definitely seems to be spreading throughout the community.....! These are always a lot of fun and seems to be inspiring quite a few people to take a walk into Cist 😄

[@bloodsalt]

Mate that is absolutely cracking!

[@OnPointHQ]

Cheers buddy, much appreciated! Turnip28 is definitely my favourite creative outlet of choice at the moment. So much freedom for creativity and kitbashing 😀

[@bloodsalt]

@@OnPointHQ I MUST finish my 15mm roman/gaul conflict and one Norman warband for SAGA. As soon as thats done I'm giving this game a go, I love how dirty everything in the game looks, the best aesthetic I've seen in a long time

[@dAmADcHoPpA]

Love your Turnip 28 vids I’ve seen them soooo many times over. Very very inspiring. I’m building my own force and love the grouped minis on the large bases. Can you tell me what size base it is? Thanks!!!

[@OnPointHQ]

That's awesome, thank you! Really glad you enjoy the Turnip28 videos. You can probably tell that I have had a lot of fun building and painting my Turnip28 units, such a wonderfully creative way to hobby. Sure thing, the bases are 4cm x 6cm (40mm x 60mm) MDF bases. I use these to bases 6 figures at a time. For larger pieces like the root shrine or snail knight I just glue these together. Hope that helps 😀👍

[@maryhinge6334]

Strange but brilliant Ste. I reckon this game was made for you, the kitbashing potential seems to be pretty much limitless. 😂

[@OnPointHQ]

Cheers Jim! I've been fascinated by Turnip28 since the first time that I saw it on Instagram. Its only been over the last three or four months that I've really started building full armies for it.....and it's addictive! So much opportunity for kitbashing and conversions 😃

[@oldschoolfrp2326]

Fantastic conversions!

[@OnPointHQ]

Thank you! This is definitely why Turnip28 appeals to me, there is just so much scope for creativity, kitbashing and conversions 😀

[@terrainaholic]

I see many people going to garden centers for snails in the near future:)!

[@OnPointHQ]

I think I was quite lucky to stumble onto this on Amazon but I really didn't think it was going to turn out this way. Very happy with it and hopefully shows that pretty much everything can be used in Turnip28 in some shape or manner 😀

[@MrTheEndIsNigh1]

@@OnPointHQ cannot find any snails like yours on amazon? Can you link it?

[@BethorInvictus]

love it, not enough root vegetables online. I hope you do a lot more! Also really great bases, what are they glued on?

[@OnPointHQ]

Cheers mate and I shall definitely be making more videos about Turnip28 moving forward! The bases I use are made of MDF and are 600mm by 400mm 😀

@@OnPointHQ Thanks a lot, also thanks for including the size of the base. I guess I need to source some of those than. Looking forward to more of your video's

[@davidbakerr941]

Excellent figures, what undercoat do you use.

[@OnPointHQ]

Thanks David, much appreciated! I tend to use a brown undercoat on most figures that I paint but with these I use a mix of brown and grey at about an 80:20 mix 🙂

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Beautiful work ste,would love to know how your mind works with turnip28 lol

[@OnPointHQ]

Thanks Justin! It's certainly a very unique background and aesthetic to work with but I get so much inspiration from seeing the work that other people are creating 🙂

[@ChimeraWargaming]

Amazing work 👍👍👍

[@OnPointHQ]

Thank you! I always have a lot of fun working on Turnip28 as the whole aesthetic and background really appeal to me 🙂

@@OnPointHQ mate you have to try this. Its soooo cool! You only need 5 Minis in your warband and you can really go crazy when building them. You can even completely randomize them 🤭

Love them bruts , cool improvisation with the snail , is steve secretly building naps ?

[@OnPointHQ]

Cheers mate! Napoleonic figures definitely work really well in Turnip28 and just by replacing the head you can come up with some really twisted creations. And I'm certainly not secretly building Naps, those days are long gone 😅
