Turnip28

There are a few parts I really like about Turnip28 MyMiniFactory Here are the first few images of my warband.I get that the idea is VERY dirty, and these are only KINDA dirty. I’m not sure if I will change that. Maybe these guys are the high elves of Swill. Gluing tufts of grass to …

Finished Building

Terrain

3 Story good; 2 Story bad. Once you field an Imperial Knight, you get to know quickly if your terrain is tall enough. Up until this point, I had mainly created 2 story terrain. I quickly realized I needed 3 story when the buildings only came up to my knights knees. I’m also of the …
