Today was a hobby stream day — and my gosh was it worth it.

I really REALLY wanted to get my Turnip28 army moving along. The recent “Off the Rails” kitbash challenge for the game has me focused on getting a game in some time this year. Fingers crossed.

Typically my streaming schedule is Sunday through Wednesday, and this month I’ve dedicated my Tuesdays to minis. I do get time to do my hobbies each day — this blog is a testament to that — but having a dedicated streaming ‘show’ each week means that I at least get an uninterrupted 3 hours of doing something. That, and streaming gives a sort of faux-body doubling effect which is wonderful.

Anyway, yes, Turnip28. This game of the glorious and the absurd has occupied far more of my brain over the last few years than it has any right to. Something about the vegetable themed post-apocalypse has broken through into my psyche, and has taken root (heh) into my very being. I think about these little Napoleonic python-esq weirdos far more than a girl has any right to, and if there was an aesthetic that fit my personality, it’s definitely something from the mind of Max Fitzgerald. So, if nothing else, this should highlight my excitement at actually getting this project moving forwards.

So, sitting down to stream, I got my miliput and greenstuff mixed and began the task of modelling ~35 heads for my list. getting pikes ready, and finally putting some arms (and tentacles) onto some Toadies.

The goal is to field the most basic of lists, as I haven’t even decided on a cult yet. That meas I have a Toff, 2 Toadies, a unit of Chaff, one of Brutes, and two of Fodder. Going basic so that I can eventually expand out into whatever I wish. I don’t have many games in which I’d like to ‘collect’ the whole line, but gosh I think Turnip28 might do that for me…

Sufficed to say – this might be my wargame of choice. Unfortunately, at present I think I might be the only one in my local scene who’s working on this. I might need to start a movement…. something everyone loves to hear from a transfemme…

This begins my Parsnip Pushing, 42nd Higgles of Piggledy. May their roots run deep, and their victories come before tea-time.
