Turnip28 - Empress Parsnip Guard - Fodder - Empress's Parsnip Fusiliers and Empress's Waifish Fusiliers

With some of the cavalry and the Empress done, I needed to move on to the spinless backbone of the army, the Fodder units. The base models are the excellent Wargames Atlantic Prussian Reserve with a few Perry heads for variety.

 
I started with a test paint scheme, then moved on to the painting the group.
 

The flags are made in Photoshop and printed on an inkjet printer.



 
A few years ago I bought some quirky and somewhat obscure miniatures from Eureka- female 1700s Age of Reason soldiers called the 'Sandras'. Some of them are on the cheesecake side, with exposed midriffs, so I covered most of those up with greenstuff. They also received some visors, root vegetables, and some slight turnipifications. Unlike most other people that make Turnip28 figures, I haven't made extensive use of grass tufts, just a little here and there.  


Too classically beautiful to find suitors in Cist, the Waifish have thrown their lot in with the Empress.
