Max Fitzgerald's post-apocalyptical napoleonic brainworm baby is getting its first commercial digital sculpts, along with an accompanying rules update.

I'll vouch that this is in fact a very good wargame and not just a vehicle for hipster blanchitsu art.

Love LoVe lOvE this setting. it's perfectly glum and 110% creative. Question -- when are the skirmish rules coming out? Tabletop Minions mentioned they are in the works, like 10 models per side + a tank?
I want to run this at a convention in 2023 and that would be far more, well, appetizing of a project.

There's a side game called Swill in the works, my impression is that it's a pure tank battle but not sure, my attention was elsewhere the past few months. I know there's a Turnip cult coming too that can have 1-2 Swill tanks and by selecting more elite units you can probably have a 10 model regiment in the core game

Wow, this still is awesome!

It is! I've had the pleasure of showcasing Turnip at a local scale modelers convention recently and boy did it draw a lot of bewildered eyes!

I love me a dirty kitbash but would love some themed turnip based minis.

Ill toss a couple of quid into this.

It's not been 7 hours and we're 750% funded.

Unlocked some significant stretch goals - the initial offering has more than doubled, I think, and crucially we unlocked upgrade bitz for two specific factions - The Slug's Lament (greatcoat veterans) and The Brotherhood of Greed (cannibals). Max says he's currently all out of sculptor manpower and is shopping around for more artists. Stretch goals will resume if he finds someone who can fill in.

Also note that there are some free STLs already available here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xsjasuVcpzS4zQzR1ONE-c8VN5FdnCIG

And some paid STLs - most notably crabs for The Feast of Charybdis faction - if you sign up for the €6.50 tier at Max's Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Turnip28/posts

I truly hope we get some info on Swill soon. It would truly help make my friends inclined to back the KS. Thanks for what you know.

He responded on Kickstarter. Tank battles + rules for a handful of infantry option as well. They are working on it over the holiday.
