Turnip28 - 5th Deathcap Line Infantry 2

Let's kick off the first post of 2025, with a gaggle of vegetable-infused infantry.

I've completed my first batch of Turnip28 fodder for my wee force. These fellows, the 5th Deathcap line, will be 12 strong when complete. As the biggest regiment in the force, I decided to tackle them first. Getting them done will be a nice mojo booster. 

Fungal Revenant

I used a few Turnip28 sets for these, alongside the fodder set. The brutes and mutations set, along with some other bits and pieces gave me a nice sandbox to build with. Which was ridiculously fun.

The fungal revenant above is the ultimate fate of every Deathcap line trooper. All the Deathcap are riddled with fungal infestation, and upon a soldier's death, the fungus proliferates. Through some bizarre symbiotic quirk, the fungus soon resurrects the corpse of the deceased. This infested shell then continues to fight with the regiment until such time as too many bits fall off. It's unsettling, but keeps the line filled. 

Private Inkcap Dover

As to painting, I was happy with my test model, so I used that scheme. The ribbons on the rifles, after a suggestion from a friend, I painted like soiled toiler paper. Poo-dirty Seals? Shit Ribbons? Diarrhetic pendants? The jury is still out.

Private Cep Hawthorne

Next up I think the regiment's captain might get some paint. He's more heavily converted and covered in dozens of parnsips. Like, dozens. Until then, what's that smell?

The socks crack me up.
