On Point HQHello everyone and welcome back to the channel and the sixth video of wallowing in the fetid mud as we journey through the glorious madness of Turnip28.
In this video we will be taking a look at my second completed Turnip28 regiment- the Scions of Bdulph. My previous regiment the XIIIth Cohort had more of a Napoleonic/Black Powder era look and so for the next regiment I knew I wanted a different aesthetic. In the end I decided to go for a more dark medieval look. As with my other Turnip28 regiments, I have used a variety of plastic kits to kitbash this regiment.
I was fortunate enough to run a participation game of Turnip28 at the Plastic Crack Podcast's recent gaming convention and there was a great deal of interest in not just the game but also the look/aesthetic which was really great to see.

May your dice roll well and happy gaming!The Plastic Crack Podcast Season 4 Episode 43 - Creating our version of 1978s Battleground.On Point HQ2023-12-04 | Hello everyone, it's Monday night and that means only one thing, time for another episode of the PCP where tonight we are paying homage to the TV series Battleground.
Released in the UK in 1978, each half hour episode showcased a wargame featuring a battle from different historic periods with a number of guest gamers. If the PCP had the chance to run our own version of Battleground, how would we each approach it? Rules, scales, period, battle, format? This should be an interesting one!
As well this, the usual kaboodle of news, project updates, and viewers hobby pictures.

youtube.com/@OnPointMy Worst Painted Miniatures?* Why Im ok with that (*probably not...)On Point HQ2023-11-24 | Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel and are these really my worst painted miniatures? I have been painting more Epic Battles by Warlord Games, this time specifically Pike and Shotte with the Push of Pike box. I made a video earlier this year all about my painting Epic American Civil War and that project is still continuing but I have made a start on painting my Push of Pike box.....and decided that a different approach was required for painting these.
Comparing the two, I am definitely happier with the ACW than the Pike and Shotte but is this all in my mind? In the video, I'll show you my first completed regiment and my thoughts on the painting technique, the mistakes and why I'm happy with them despite these errors.
If you're currently painting in this scale, I'd really enjoy hearing your thoughts and opinions on how you approach the painting and the techniques you use!
If you liked the video, consider leaving a comment and subscribing, I always enjoy chatting to fellow gamers about the hobby.

/ @onpointhqAdventures in 20mm - a new scaleOn Point HQ2023-11-10 | Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel and my foray into a new scale for my World War Two wargaming......20mm. This is a scale that has always interested me but, as I have sizeable collections in both 28mm and 15mm, I have always held off and relented in becoming involved in another scale. Until now....!
So far, I have made a start on bits and pieces for both British and German armies and in the video I will show what I have completed so far and my thoughts on approaching a new scale, how the painting has differed and also some musings on different scales.
I have really enjoyed painting what I've completed so far and definitely intend to keep adding more to both of these projects. I have also been looking at other periods in this scale which is most certainly a new and terrifying rabbit hole in itself!

I'm going to be running participation games of Space Weirdos at Crack Con 4 and decided that I wanted to build a proper scenery set up for it.
As I mentioned in my last hobby update, I picked up a few boxes of the Necromunda Zone Mortalis boxes by Games Workshop and wanted to use this to create a small set up for a 2x2 gaming area. I'm not the greatest at painting scenery, so this was going to be challenge!
In this video, I'll show you the progress that I have made over the last six weeks or so with painting and weathering the scenery, adding scatter and a few other bits and pieces that I have added to the set up.
I'm really happy with the progress that has been made and I'm looking forward to playing games of Space Weirdos on it very soon.

May your dice roll well and happy gaming!The Plastic Crack Podcast Season 4 Episode 34 - Rules lite vs rules heavyOn Point HQ2023-09-18 | Hello everyone and welcome to your Monday night Plastic Crack Podcast. In tonight's episode, we are going to be discussing rules, in particular rules lite vs rules heavy rules. In the past few years, there have been a lot of rules released that are considered to be rules lite with the emphasis being on shorter, fast paced games, and often with lower figure count.
This is a big departure from the more the rules heavy games where every eventuality is covered and lend themselves more to larger and lengthier games. So where do you stand? Do you prefer the quick jump into a rules lite game or is the rules heavy format still your go to for wargaming?
As well as this, there will be the usual hobby updates, news and viewers project pictures.

I wasn't really plannin on getting into any new game systems for the rest of the year as I really have enough to keep my occupied. But The Doomed has certainly captured my imagination and I have been busy creating and kitbashing since the rulebook was delivered.
Essentially, The Doomed is a monster hunting skirmish set in an apocolytpic world where horror and mayhem seem to lurk around every corner. The rules themselves are very rules lite which makes for a quick paced game without the need for constantly looking at rules, adding tokens and keeping track of things. The game is miniature agnostic and the author, Chris McDowall, encouarages players to kitbash their hunting parties and warbands as this certainly feeds into the setting that he has created.
As people may know, I absolutely love kitbashing and can happily spend hours and hours creating unqiue and individual figures and that is certainly what I've done here. In the video, I'll show you what I've created so far and my plans for even more kitbashing creativity.

I used to do these quite a lot a few years ago but I haven't made one in a while and I think that its good to see what people are working on outside of the hobby.
A lot of the projects that I'm going to show in the video weren't really intended for full videos or video series on the channel but if you would like any of the bits and pieces featured here to be the subject of main videos, please let me know!
Featured in this video are 02 Hundred Hours, What a Cowboy, Space Weirdos and Burrows and Badgers. These are essentially projects that I've been working on outside of the channel but hopefully it will be interesting to see what I'm working on alongside my normal projects.

May your dice roll well and happy gaming!Lets check out.....Warlord Games SDKFZ 222On Point HQ2023-08-09 | Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel as I work on a kit that I have waited for a long time to work on - the plastic Sdkfz 222 from Warlord Games. I have recently completed a DAK army project and knew that the 222 was initially available as part of the Gentlemen's War startert box for Bolt Action and was very keen to add one to the DAK project.
I didn't really need to pick up this new starter box so waited patiently for the kit to be available as a standalone box.....and then my gaming buddy got it for me for my birthday in June. Cheers dude!
In the video I show what is in the box and on the sprue, outline the build and how well it goes together and then show the completed painted model. Hopefully this video will be useful for anyone that is interested in adding the Sdkfz 222 to their Bolt Action projects.

This week we'll be discussing hobby nostalgia. As hobbyists and gamers, we are often prone to wallowing in hobby nostalgia but is this is a good thing? Should certain games or elements of the hobby be kept to a distant memory? Are there games that deserve to be dragged into the 21st century? Or games or parts of the hobby that should be best forgotten?

It has been quite a while since I worked on anything Turnip28 but that has changed with the growing of my third regiment.
This regiment will be based around the Procession of Woe cult. This cult uses the Root Shrine to replace the Toff in the regiment. I made a video about how I built my Root Shrine and I will link this below along with the rest of my Turnip28 content that I have created to date.
There is most definitely a more military feel to this regiment than my previous two and I have used bits and pieces from a variety of manufacturers including Warlord Games, Perry Miniatures and Victrix to build the units in the regiment. This is why I always enjoy working on Turnip28 miniatures as there really is endless scope for kitbashing and creativity.
May your dice roll well and happy gaming!A bit of Lion RampantOn Point HQ2023-06-10 | Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel and a bit of a dabble into mediecal wargaming with Lion Rampant! This is something that I started last year but had completely forgotten that I had painted them until I came across the box that they were in while making another video!
This project was inspired by a series of videos that DuncanFX made about his journey into Lion Rampant and I was intrigued by the approach that he had taken with multibasing the units on larger bases and using the unit strength rules to come up with a really interesting way of modelling and playing the game.
So, suitably inspired, I dug through my bits boxes and used a bunch of Perry Miniatures that I would normally use for Turnip28 to cobble together a small medieval English army to use in Lion Rampant. I'm really happy with how these turned out so thought I'd make a short video to show that I do dabble outside World War Two every so often!
May your dice roll well and happy gaming!Bolt Action - Afrika Korps showcaseOn Point HQ2023-06-09 | Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel and another Bolt Action army showcase. I have finally completed the Afrika Korps project that I started many months ago and I really didn't think that it would take me this long to actually get it finished! But a combination of distractions and other projects stopped me from getting it completed.......but now its done!
The list is based on the 1942 DAK Panzer Division in the Campaign: Western Desert book by Warlord Games. This is based around Panzer IVs as the core tank in the list but I have also included a captured British Matilda to add a bit of character to the army as well as another captured allied vehicle which was a lot of fun to put together!
I really did enjoy working on this project and I hope that this is reflected in the showcase.

May your dice roll well and happy gaming!The Plastic Crack Podcast Season 4 Episode 20 - what do YOU look for in a new wargame?On Point HQ2023-06-05 | It's Monday night and time for another evening of wargaming hobby and chat with the PCP. In tonight's episide, we are going to be asking the question what do YOU look for in a new wargame? We are lucky to live within a time in the hobby where we have access to hundreds upon hundreds of wargames rules and systems and it often seems like a new ruleset is released weekly.
With being spoilt for choice, what things do you look for when approaching a new wargame? The period, the rules themselves, the atmosphere, maybe a quirkly mechanic that has never been used before? Equally, what do you tend to avoid when it comes to a new wargaming system?
As well as this, there will be the usual kaboodle of hobby updates, news, chat and viewers project pictures.

The Wargames Atlantic French resistance box is a brilliant plastic set but there is a slight lack of rifles which may be an issue when building a resistance army for Bolt Action. However, I have been using several bits and pieces from various allied plastic Bolt Action kits by Warlord Games to kitbash the additional rifles.
In the video, I'll show you what bits I've used and how these go together with the plastic kit by Wargames Atlantic.

I painted my first bases of these two years ago and didn't really enjoy them so they ended up as another abandoned project! But earlier this year, I came across them again and decided to have another go at painting them....and I've really enjoyed them this time around!
I thought I'd do a short video to outline what I've been painting recently and show exactly how much I've got through in a relatively short period of time. I'm actually really happy with how these have turned out and I never really thought I'd find myself painting them again!

Since the last update I took a few weeks to work on something completely different before starting the second stage of my DAK project.
In the last video, link below in the description, I outlined the list and theatre selector that I had chosen for my DAK and had completed a schutzen squad, an SDKFZ/251, a medium mortar team and the first Panzer IV.
Since then I have now added a light artillery piece, a higher officer team, a forward observation officer, a captured universal carrier and the Panzer IV command vehicle.
In this video I will show you exactly how these are looking, how they were completed and what you can expect in the next video.

As gamers and hobbyists, we are prone to seeing inspiration for new projects in many different places and none moreso than in films and television programmes! This has certainly happened with SAS Rogue Heroes and looking at my SAS again.
These were featured a while back on the channel but with a better set up these days, I thought it would be good to show you what I have completed so far and talk through the bits and pieces that I used to build my SAS. I knew that I wanted my SAS sections to look very different, a mix of different weapons, equipment and headgear etc to denote the rag tag look of the SAS in the western desert.
A lot of the figures are kitbashed to a degree and hopefully the video will provide inspiration and give you some ideas for kitbashing your own SAS. If you enjoyed the video, please give it a like and consider subscribing to the channel for more gaming goodness!

I made a series similar to this earlier in the year and it helped keep me motivated to complete the US Mechanised Tank Destroyer platoon that I was working on.
I have recently completed a British 11th Armoured Division project and was thinking about what my next Bolt Action project would be! Currently I am really interested in lists that are quite tank/vehicle focused with a smattering of infantry and support choices. These have given me a lot of scope over the last two projects so a third was definitely on the cards.
When I was at the Warlord Games Open Day, I picked up a box of the Deutsches Afrika Korps having seen a really wonderful western desert game being played as it was quite inspirational! I looked through my Western Desert campaign book and eventually settled on the 1942 DAK Heavy Panzer Division theatre selector which will give me a good mix of vehiclesm infantry and support.
I have made a start on the project and in this, part one of the hobby blog, I'm going to show you what I have completed so far and what will be next. If you enjoyed the video, please give it a like and consider subscribing to the channel for more gaming goodness!

Ste: youtube.com/c/OnPointHQRubicon Models USMC Marines - my new favourite kit?On Point HQ2022-08-13 | Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel and a video about what is possibly my favourite plastic kit - the USMC Marines plastic kit made by Rubicon Models! I have been following the progess that Rubicon is making on its Vietnam range and as soon as I saw the USMC miniatures I knew that I really wanted to build and paint these.
In the video I will show you the sprue that comes with the USMC kit, how they look when they are assembled and also how they look painted as I have completed eight from the box so far.
I have been really very impresssed with this box and each miniature has been an absolute joy to paint and I am certainly looking forward to working on the rest of this box and the rest of the Vietnam range by Rubicon Models.

The project was inspired by a gift sent to me and it all went from there! It is quite a relative small list that is certainly focused on the armoured side with a fair few tanks and vehicles backed up one infantry section.
In the video I will show you all of the bits and pieces that make up the platoon and how I approached each individual part. The full list is as follows;
HQ - Humber Scout Car 2 x Sherman V 1 x Sherman VC Firefly 1 x Late war British infantry section 1 x Halftrack transport 1 x Cromwell cruiser tank

O Group is a battalion levell set of rules and both myself and many in our community have recently taken to O Group with much gusto. So much in fact that this is all I have painted over the last month with all other projects thrown to the wayside in place of some 15mm painting.
In this video I'm going to show you my first completred army for O Group which is a late war British battalion that I've built using a mix of Battlefront and Plastic Soldier Company miniatures. It has been a while since I painted 15mm scale figures and so it was a nice change and also a different style of painting compared to my usual 28mm technique.
It's been really enjoyable working on a different scale and hopefully this video shows how much fun it was putting these together and painting them. If you enjoyed the video, please give it a like and consider subscribing to the channel for more gaming goodness!

youtube.com/c/OnPointHQBolt Action Hobby Blog #4 - US Mechanised PlatoonOn Point HQ2022-05-09 | Hello everyone and welcome back to On Point HQ and the fourth and last video in this Bolt Action hobby blog series as I have actually come to the end of this project! I will link to the other videos in the series below but the purpose of this blog and project was to keep me motivated as I had lost my Bolt Action painting mojo somewhat.
I decided that the best way to get back into painting Bolt Action was to choose a project and theatre selector that looked a bit different so I opted for the late war US Mechanised Tank Destroyer platoon from the US D-Day Sector book by Warlord Games. This was a good mix of infantry and vehicles and would hopefully keep me interested and motivated to finish the full 1000 project.....and that is exactly what I've done!
This video is to showcase the fully completed platoon and what it looks like all fully completed. I am super happy with how this has turned out and it has certainly got my Bolt Action painting mojo back.

youtube.com/c/OnPointHQTo repaint or not - Repainting my Bolt Action German ArmyOn Point HQ2022-03-23 | Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel and a video about a quandary that I've had for a little while.....should I repaint my Bolt Action German army? Regular viewers of the channel will know that over the past three years or so I have built and painted a pretty sizeable army Bolt Action German army that currently comes in at around 6000 points.
Recently I have been comparing this to my current projects and the way that I paint these days. We all evolve as painters and I would certainly say that I am a different painter to the one of three years ago. Rather than repaint or overhaul the entire army in one go, I focused on a list that I have put together for an upcoming game of Bolt Action. This is the 'Holding the West Wall' theatre selector from the Armiesof Germany book.
In this video I will show how some of the older figures were painted and why I wasn't happy with them but also show you the repainted army so far!

I will link to the previous two entries in the series below but briefly, the PCP was contacted by Don Ayres at Adepticon and asked if we would like to take part in painting an army that is to be auctioned at Adepeticon 2022. All proceeds from the auction will be going to the American Battlefield Trust.
We jumped at the chance and over the past few weeks have been taking part in a painting relay to get the army, a 4 point warband for Saga, fully completed. Well the warband and has arrived on my desk.....so its time to for my stage in the the relay - basing!
May your dice roll well and happy gaming!Bolt Action Hobby Blog #3 - US Mechanised PlatoonOn Point HQ2022-02-26 | Hello everyone and welcome back to On Point HQ and the third video in my Bolt Action hobby blog series. This series is intended to keep me inspired and motivated after a lull in my Bolt Action painting mojo last year. In this video I outline what I have completed since the previous video.
As I have highlighted in the two previous videos, I am working my way through this project in four stages, each containing one vehicle and four infantry. I had previously completed an M10, a 2.5 ton truck and six infantry. In this video I will show you the latest completed vehicle, an M10 command vehicle and two more infantry have been completed for the single section that I am including in the platoon.
Completing this series is certainly keeping me motivated to continue and I'm really looking forward to seeing this completed and on the tabletop for games of Bolt Action!

May your dice roll well and happy gaming!Turnip28 - Building the Tall ManOn Point HQ2022-02-23 | Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel and the fifth video in my mud and quagmire filled journey through Turnip28. In previous videos, I have looked at the different cults that can be taken when building your regiments for Turnip28. Examples of these are the Knights of Shellwood, the Procession of Woe and the Slug's Lament.
In this video we will be taking a look at my latest creation.....a Tall Man for the Uprising of the Louse cult. This build seemed to take on a life of its own from the start of the project and hopefully it will show just what different bits and pieces can be used for your Turnip28 projects. It also shows how different people's interpretations of the various cults that can be taken in games of Turnip28.
In addition to my Tall Man build, there is a preview of my next Turnip28 regiment with a test base that I built recently after receiving a Turnip28 care package from a good friend of mine!

May your dice roll well and happy gaming!The Plastic Crack Podcast S3 - Episode 7 - Down time.....!On Point HQ2022-02-21 | Greetings all, it's Monday, it's that time.....episode 7, series 3 of The Plastic Crack Podcast. Tonight we will be discussing down time.....those times when you can't paint or game. This may be due to outside factors (the plethora of storms that have just visited us definitely being one) or it could be real life getting in the way but we have all had times when painting and gaming are off the table. So, what do you do? Read, research, go for a long lie down until normality returns? Let us know what you do in times like this.
Also join us for the usual kaboodle of hobby chat, news and project updates.

youtube.com/c/OnPointHQTurnip28 - Building a Root ShrineOn Point HQ2022-02-06 | Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel and yet more travels upon the awesomely strange journey that is Turnip28! In the last few Turnip28 videos, I have showed what I have completed so far and also outlined exactly I go about painting my units and miniatures for the game.
In this video, I will be showing you my recently finished Root Shrine for the Procession of Woe cult. This has been on my desk unfinished for a while now but it is now completed and looks very different to how it was going to look in my initial concept for it.
This shrine replaces the Toff in any Turnip28 army when you take the Procession of Woe cult and I really can't wait to use this piece with the rest of my Turnip28 armies. I would definietly say it is one of the more unique models that I have built for Turnip28 but hopefully it demonstrates what can be achieved with bits from your bits boxes, some imagination and a lot of mud!

May your dice roll well and happy gaming!Turnip28 - Painting FodderOn Point HQ2022-02-02 | Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel and another foray into the grim awfulness yet wonderful world of Turnip28. This is a video that I really wasn't going to make as it is all about painting Turnip28.... and people have their own ways and techniques for painting their units. But a few people have aske me questions about how I go about painting my own regiments.
So in this video I will be running through how I go about painting a unit of Fodder for my current Turnip28 regiment. It isn't a tutorial or anything of that nature but rather a stage by stage process of how I paint my Turnip28 figures, the paints and the differerent techniques that I use.
This is a very different way of painting miniatures compared to my standard Bolt Action stuff but hopefully it will give people a few ideas about how to appraoch painting their own Turnip28 armies.

youtube.com/c/OnPointHQTurnip28 - The Root Spreads......On Point HQ2022-01-25 | Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel and another video about the weird, wonderful and thoroughly creative world of Turnip28. In the previous Turnip28 video, I showcased my first regiment the XIII Cohort.
In this video, I thought it would be interesting to show you the progress that I have made with my second Turnip28 army. As Turnip28 is largely centered around kitbashing and conversions, I thought that by showing you the figures freshly kitbashed and unpainted would demonstrate the techniques and different bits and pieces that I use when creating my Turnip28 units and characters.
I have been completely taken by the world and aesthetic of Turnip28 and following my first video about the game, I received quite a few comments and messages asking me how I had gone about certain aspects of the building and converting so hopefully this video will shpw you how I make these figures. But if you have any questions about how I kitbash these, please feel free to ask!
