From ByronM: Turnip 28 Fodder + Water Tower (70 points)

For this weeks submission I present a unit of Fodder for Turnip28.  Curt introduced me to this odd ball quirky game last time I was out there visiting, and I decided I had to do up at least one unit to play around with some of the cool looking 3d models out there.

Since I wanted to be painting and not converting during the painting challenge, I grabbed a set of the really cool models from Knucklebones over on Patreon, and got to printing.  I also printed a pile of mushrooms to go along with them and cut a base on the laser that can be found here: Northern Lights Terrain.

I wanted to keep these figures a little brighter than the normal T28 models (although not as bright as some of Curts figures) and having always wanted to paint up some British Napoleonics but never gotten around to it, figured I would go with some red coats.  I did grime everything up after painting them, so they are not super bright and clean, but hopefully kept enough of the colours to show details.  Being red, I figured I may as well go with the mighty Radish as the holy root vegetable for this unit.

After painting all the figures I got down to the extra little details like painting the mushrooms some off colours to add some pop (an idea again stolen from Curt), and then painting up a banner.  The banner is something I am horrible at, I am not an artist in any way and can not draw.  So I looked up some images of radishes and thought my best bet would be trying to do a water colour looking radish.  While not very well done as seen below in its base form, I think it looks ok once it has been all damaged and dirtied up.

Also for this submission is a piece of terrain that I printed a little while ago to fit into any number of games, a wood water tower.  This was super simple to paint using scale75 instant colours and some bronze and red from vallejo.  I then went looking for some art to slap on it and figured what better than a positive message for a change... so picked up some "Elon for President" posters (even though I hate Tesla's as soulless abominations of cars)!  It should make many appearances in games around here.

As for points, it should work out to:

12x 28mm models @ 5 points = 60 points
6"x3"x3" terrain = 1/4 of a cube = 5 points? seems low, but whatever, points don't really matter anyway...

From TeemuL: I guess this is the first Turnip infestation we have on our Thor's Day group, but since it comes originally from the Snowlord, we must accept it. I know this setting divides people in this Challenge, at least jokingly. I haven't touched them, I stand firmly in the Sludge camp...

But the models, they do look great! The mushrooms are a nice touch and the banner is worth some points, it may no be pretty, but it shows some courage to step outside of the comfort zone. The water tower is missing a base? Or is standing on concrete, perhaps. The terrain scoring is difficult, I'll give you 5, but add couple of points for the banner and mushrooms.
