The Rutabagarre Snail - a Turnip28 event exclusive !

 

Hey everyone, I suppose it shouldn't come as a surprise seeing a french guy painting snails but this time I have a reason !

I was lucky enough to take part in the first french Turnip28 event last weekend near Lyon to meet a good fistful of other players to play this magnificent game and have fun. 
I knew my man Jean Peinture since he's the one who 's taken me down this road but although I knew some of the players from Instagram and social media, I had yet to meet half the players so this was a very exciting prospect !

Turnip28 - The Black Root

Hey everyone ! With the prospect of the first Turnipcon in a few weeks and having been invited to take part, I felt like I needed to come with fresh miniatures (I just can't come with exclusively old models to any game) and I thought I could really use a big piece to represent a few of the cult options.

Turnip28 Troops and Battles !

Hey everyone ! So a month ago, my good buddy Adrien offered me a gaming opportunity : "I have a free week end in a month, if you fancy it, we can play a lot of Turnip28 !". My immediate response was that I would NEVER EVER have a painted army in such a short notice since my models were not even finished converting for the most part. Then he said I could borrow some of his and that's where I knew it was horribly wrong, not that playing with his wonderful models is, but not doing them the honour of facing something new was not acceptable !

Turnip Snobs and cultists

 

So after playing some Turnip28 games back in October with my mate Adrien, I was conquered by the rules and fun of the game and wanted to build myself an army.

Like often, it took me a while to get started, gathering the bits I needed, getting some printed and getting a rough idea of what I wanted as a whole aside from the couple of stuff I wanted to try. 
So after building plenty of models without much of a plan, I decided to focus on the prerequisites of the games : Snobs.

Turnip28 Battle reports from the Octogône

 

Hey all ! A couple of weeks ago, I had the chance to attend to The Octogône, a gaming con in Lyon (France) where I got to meet some pals amongst which the most excellent Jean Peinture ! 

I had brought a few models in case there was an opportunity to play some Forbidden psalm but I was especially eager to try Turnip28 after reading the rules (which you can find HERE)

From what I read, the rulesfelt simple, fast and most importantly FUN, with just enough random events and silly outcomes, strategic potential to stay interesting for a while with all the cult rules and scenarii, the kind of balance I'm after really.
