Dirt Track Road Map

I'm also concepting some pieces for chocolate bar turnip, which ill hopefully be able to show you soon.Swill: The Dredge Station Fishmongers and Lamprey's Revolver Rifles are being sculpted. Two little mini sets that will be a starter set...
Turnip Adventures
I've been travelling. Up through the wind and rain, and slightly dodgy train station sandwiches, to the freezing north of Nottingham. I went to BOYL (Bring out Your Lead) and got to talk to John Blanche about turnips *see picture of nervous bald man next to his hero. Met so many great people, saw cool minis and chatted a lot of shit.It was amazing.NOW IM BACKI see there's lots of new converts. Alfabusa has squelched up an incredible battle report, and terrifyingly, now people know we exi...
Snails?
Whats this slowly slithering over the horizon?Whatever it is, its certainly something. I guess we will have to wait and see. All I know for sure is the Snail is sculpted by: https://www.instagram.com/bigredmoth/The Knight Concept is by Garrot: https://www.instagram.com/fgsfds/And will be sculpted by Alex: https://www.instagram.com/warpminiatures/(bit of an experiment this one, two sculptors, two concept artists!)
Swill Gunner
This chap needs a name! Based on Victorian household cavalry and pith helmeted red coats. I thought we could do with some 1st rank, 2nd rank, volley fire. Wouldn't a little set of these chaps be lovely?BUT FIRST, what the hell do I call them?
Strikebreaker Progress
The horrific cavalryman has received a loping lamprey companion. Admire his fish skin cloak, tank shell helm, his pit nag, toe cable bridle and collection of charms. I can't wait to get these chaps modelled. With that in mind, have a peep at some of Garrot's amazing concepts for the Knights of Swill (one of the two starting Swill cults). A grumbling Foreman ready with blood-packs and bleeder.Links of Interest:Core Rules: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Ex0nH0lRqEjNV1QEi7C-aOCGKGa...
Strikebreaker Cavalry
A little WIP Swill Art to keep you warm on these freezing winter nights. This is one is of the Strikebreakers. The Knights of Swill's household cavalry. Ready to run amok at the slightest sign of a smoke break.
Tabletop Swillulator
Hello HelloJust a little progress report. Rules: Knocked together a tabletop simulator mod for testing Swill. I'm happy with the core of it, so I begin the arduous task of creating the Demo.Art: Working on the super secret swill concept art, and the not so secret cover art. Lots of big full colour pieces to do.Robin's also doing a couple pieces and Moritz is bombarding me with inked fish. Minis: Alex starts sculpting the Knights of Shellwood this month, which will be available to patron...
Colouring in the City States
Good Afternoon everyoneI hope you've got your colouring pencils on hand, today we're doing a little world building.The wonderful Moritz has drawn some of the foul characters from the various "city" states of Cist. These horrid oddjobbers will be appearing in the Turnip Skirmish rules, but I feel we need a little colour in their cheeks.So, I'd like you to help me. Please, pick a character and colour them in. Lets canonise the colour schemes of each city state together. That...
The Faces of Swill
If you haven't seen these already, here's some more swill concepts. Faces, masks, helms, flensing tools, and some good luck charms. All perfect for harvesting that sweetened scab tank blubber. Core set of Swill minis should start to get sculpted next month! Super simple, and enough to get you modelling your little warbands. -Max

Swill Frustrations
Phew Phew PhewI've finally done it, after almost half a year of failing to make decent terrain for swill (the new turnip skirmish game), I've done it. It's the best idea ever promise. It's got exploded mega tanks and cosy wallpaper.See godawful pics of just some of the hundreds of experiments I've been doing. Now I can finally make progress... and write rules about crawling around interior decorated tank hulks... and crushing people with your house. More, exciting, things to ...

Accident at the Mint
Felled by a plummeting turnip, Norbert proved a wonderful leader of no consequence. On this day, the Turnip Mint commemorates Norbert's reign with the release of its first Ducat: The Shiny Norbert.Accepted by Squeezy Pete in the car park behind big Tesco, double sided and ready to print, the Norbert is useful for 40mm objective markers and other gameplay shenanigans. A fine addition to the free turnip STLs. You can find both the supported and unsupported Shiny Norbert STLs in the Turnip Mint...

Carefully Placed Neckerchiefs
Hello everyone. I've assembled the turnip test prints and now its time to paint them. Would you like to see me do paint schemes for a few Cults of Cist? The new figs have little scarfs so its a great place to put splash of thematic colour. I'm a little undecided. On one hand it can be inspiring and cool. On the other hand, it might come across as too prescriptive? I wouldn't want someone to feel put out because they painted their Feast of Charybdis in a "non cannon" colour. I...
Printable Idiots!
Finally got my grubby hands on the test prints. Here's some pics. Aren't they great? Saint and Alex did an amazing job. They're so fun to build with all the options though the little root vegetables are honestly the star of the show. You can see them on the musician. I need to make more.A few little tweaks to do before the final release. Kickstarter sometime in November for the infantry with some stretch goals like poses, extra packs, heads, horrific gory explosions. Print on demand ...

The Radish Rolls Forward.
Thank you for voting on the next big mini. You have chosen Snail Knights (good choice).I have some great ideas for battered and weary snail knight covered in furs, broken shields and lances. It will be quite hard to separate it from all the other snails out there, but I think I can do it. like the crab, it will be multi-pose and compatible with all our other bits. If you'd like a particular option sculpted please say and ill add it to the list for consideration. For example: Would you like t...
