From PeteF: Turnip 28 invades the Golem's Haunt (25 points)

Post Apocalyptic Napoleonics. With Root Vegetables?

At one of the few in person wargames I played in 2020 one of my friends introduced me to world of Turnip 28. It's a mad idea - the brainchild of artist Max Fitzgerald that involves kitbashing spare Napoleonics and men-at-arms - or putting muskets in the hands of knights.  Just messing around with sprue and glue. This is how Max described it in an interview:

"It’s about turnips, that’s the line. That’s the answer to every single question… but really it’s a post-apocalyptic Napoleonic root-vegetable themed wargame slash universe slash community weird project thing."

Since it's a fantasy world you don't have to worry about getting the buttons right and since it's post apocalyptic everything can be a bit dark and muddy. I've gone for making things rusty and decayed. There are some nice bits of artwork (see Max Fitzgerald Art Facebook page) and something about musket toting knights appeals to me.

Back Pack ... with roots

Even before finding out about the dungeon theme of Challenge XI I wanted to try a Turnip28 mini this winter - the stitching together things from the bits box makes him work for Golem's Haunt.  On the one hand I have a box of assorted Napoleonics and on the other I have sprues full of men-at-arms and knights heads. A few bits of moss and weed have been added as the roots spilling out from the veggies he's storing in his backpack. As far as I can tell - there are no rules for Turnip28 as yet - Dragon Rampant would work fine. You have free reign as far as factions are concerned - I think I'll call this one a Swede.

Happy New Year to everyone on the Challenge or following PCXI!
