Day two! With version 18 of Turnip28 and the new Kickstarter coming out I figured I should make a new Regiment of squelchy fellows to be castle defenders for siege games, and after much consideration I decided to call them the Parsnip Pustules 91st! So I wrote some lore for the regiment and printed out the heraldry creation sheet from the Swollen Magglette, and drew up some livery designs.

When I was happy with product I chose which Toady to do first, which happened to be Gogas Von Fredic'Fowf, a want-to-be-Toff. He leads a group of Chaff with melee weapons (Spears). Usually I give Toadies 30-40mm bases but since I made this regiment to defend a keep, they all need to be able to fit on the ramparts of a wall so I gave him a 25mm base.
The unit of Chaff and their Toff are made up of Perry Miniatures Agincourt foot knights, extra bits from the WotR infantry and some green stuff sculpting on the visors. Five 28mm models for 25 points! These guys came out okay, which is a surprise because painting T28 models is always hard for me, sometimes they end up looking too sloppy and then other times they look too clean I can never find the sweet spot, ugggh!! well I'll stop wasting your time and let you see what you actually care about, the pictures...

ReplyDeleteThey look very creepy, Gavin! I like the yellow and green colors on their coats, very distinctive and makes them even more garish...or is it garnish. ;)
