This document is an unofficial collection of rules from across the Turnip ruleset that is designed to bring everything
together, in one place, for a better event experience. Its purpose is to act as a consistent point of reference for those who wish
to plan or attend events and will act as a stable foundation for TurnipCon and whoever else that wishes to use it.

This document may not contain the most up to date rules. If a new update or release is made in the run-up to an event, then
it will be ignored in favour of this core document. This document will only be updated between events so that attendees can
plan without any sudden changes or the need to reference multiple different PDFs. One event. One document. One set of
rules.

The Stump Gun model is a composed of a cannon and its crew, but is considered 1 model. If the cannon and
crew are on separate bases, the crew are not part of the game and simply act as wound tokens.

The Stump Gun is equipped as if it had a Black Powder weapon (see page 28).

Ammunition: When a Stump Gun makes a shooting attack, it can use one of two types of ammunition: Round
Shot or Grape Shot.

h Round Shot (Weapon’s Range: 60”)

The player rolls three shooting attack dice instead of the usual one. Any hits cause 2 wounds to the target
unit. These wounds cannot be prevented by a Vulnerability roll.

h Grape Shot (Weapon’s Range: 18”)

Before making the shooting attack, the player rolls 3D6. The total rolled is the number of shooting attacks
the Stump Gun makes against the target unit. The target can make its Vulnerability rolls normally.

Unstable Icon: Like all artillery the Regiments use, Stump Guns are prone to failing catastrophically.

h When rolling to hit as part of a shooting attack, this unit receives one panic token for each unmodified 1
rolled. Any 1s rolled when generating Grape Shot’s 3D6 attacks do not generate panic tokens, only the
rolls to hit. Shooting attacks should be rolled all at once, not one at a time.

h If this unit has 3 or more panic tokens before it makes a shooting attack, it is dangerously unstable. If any
further natural 1s are rolled when rolling to hit, something has gone horribly wrong. Immediately remove
the gun from the table as it detonates, obliterating the crew completely. The unit resolves its shooting
attacks as normal, even if it explodes. Its crew, the barrel, and surrounding plant matter cease to exist, but
their shot still speeds towards their opponent.

• This unit must have at least 3 panic tokens when it rolls its shooting attacks to have any risk of
exploding.

Stubborn Fanatics: The crew of a Stump Gun love their grumpy child and will never abandon them. The
Stump Gun cannot be moved. It cannot Charge, March, or Move and Shoot, and will never retreat under any
circumstance. If loses a melee engagment, it is moved back 1” if possible. This not count as a move or a retreat.

Preliminary Bombardment: After players have deployed, but before any Cult abilities have been used,
players may choose to fire a preliminary bombardment. Starting with the player with the Initiative, players
take turns making a free shooting attack with their Stump Guns. Preliminary bombardments can generate
panic tokens, but do not generate powder tokens or cause a unit to Retreat. The target unit must still be in range
and line of sight. You do not need to roll to blunder during a Preliminary Bombardment.

 Unpleasant Followers
“We’d been shepherding our flock through unfamiliar farmland, prodding and poking the grunting lovelies over root and
thicket, when we were set about by villains. It were the Baron’s no good Hogsmen.

Thinking quick, as he was like to, Pfelder, my under-lumper, cut one of our flock loose and sent it screeching. The Lump
pummelled them swiners with its limbs, like they were nothing, all the while young Pfelder jeering and halooing something
rotten. A little too close for my liking.”

Muscle-bound Monstrosities: The Lump is a new core Follower unit for Turnip28. Each Lump is wholly
unique in appearance, from the strange root creatures and deformed knights of Cist, to the strange fish and oil
dredged from the tar pits of Swill.

Horrors beyond imagining: “You ever see a lad shucked miss? Pfelder was turned inside out by them big gnarled
teeth. Put me right off my oysters”.

Lumps, can be taken as a Follower when building ANY Turnip28 Regiment. When playing in a competitive
setting, players should limit themselves to, like Stump guns, to a maximum of 2 Units of Lumps.

Impenetrable Bulk: This unit’s Vulnerability is

equal to its panic tokens. For example, if this unit
had 3 panic tokens, it would have a Vulnerability of

The Herd Grows: Every time this unit takes a

who can push up the board while holding objectives will find their bombard becoming an ungodly killing

5 Toady fingers/top quality bangers cut into pieces.

4oz (110g) flour
Salt
2 eggs
1/2 a pint (300ml) milk/squench

Preheat your oven to 220c, 425f.

Sieve root flour and salt into your helm. Scavenge a couple eggs and stir them into the mixture, making a batter. With a little
milk/squench, form the batter into a smooth paste. Beat in the rest of the milk until creamy and leave to stand for an hour.
Add enough dripping to your pudding tin to form a thin layer when melted. Heat in the oven, being careful of the fat starting
to smoke. Scatter your Toady digits/saussies into the tin and bake for 5 minutes. Pour the batter over your Toady and bake for

through its famous candlelit archways and into the city.

A merry fellow festooned with bells, ribbons, and shrubbery danced through the night’s hustle and bustle,

Did that Shrub Blink?: Wandering Morris is fantastic for players looking for a different experience each time they

 Alice and Mol
Bored of her sheltered life in the convent citadel of Lower Merg, and perhaps to put the unfounded rumours of
grave-robbery behind her, Miss Alice Cadlock donned her bonnet, bludgeoned some nuns, and struck out on her
own.

Alice scours the bloodiest battlefields of Cist looking for

 How They Play
The rifle’s barrel had been a gift from Lady Illiana, its elaborately twisting grooves could put a deadly spin on every round,
steadying their flight and imparting each shot with terrifying accuracy.

The pile of dead, heaped at the foot of the staircase, was a testament to its quality.

Killing Fields: Lady Illiana’s Guttersnipes reward a player with sharp senses, letting them lure their opponents
into deadly traps using their limited spud tokens to create areas of certain death. Guttersnipes are fearsome
marksmen who can handle themselves in a scrap, but, lacking the ability to skirmish, must rely on well-timed
spuds to get them out of trouble.

 Ludgar’s Loathesome
Siegeworks
Ludgar Gobin-Pôxx spent his youth knee-deep in gore as a pigsticker in the trembling ranks of the Butcher
Brigade’s accounting division. Sword in hand, Ludgar endured years of unspeakable algebra, until one night,

blueprints for an incredible long-distance hog delivery system.
