Turnip28. Battle Post.
I had the great pleasure to field my Turnip force today. The great Swedish crabs (The Crabolines) took on the mighty carrot brigade…and lost. But it was a fantastic fun fight! Here are some highlights from the battle.

After spray painting the containers with black, brown, and red and after some quick passes of washes and weathering, the containers are ready for the game table.
The paint scheme for the terrain is made very simple so that it doesn’t take too much focus from the player miniatures (that should be the focus point). Monochrome paint schemes can give both a lot of visual interest without stealing the show.
Time for some terrain and game board. The game board that I made for Kuggköping works for Punk Reactor as well. I was lucky to find some styrofoam squares that I simply glued on a mdf board and painted.
For terrain I had these old cardboard boxes that I stuck stuff to in order to make them look like some kind of containers.
I hope everyone got a great start to 2025. Starting the year I took some time to finish the enemy models for Punk Reactor.
I might use these for Turnip28 and Swill as well…or any other indie game like Space Wierdos or Stargrave.
A new year is approaching. I wish you all a wonderful new year with a lot of great things ahead. I am looking forward to 2025. I love to see all the new and different indie games that are popping up. The creativity is very inspiring.
I hope you all can find the time to check out Punk Reactor 2025. If you do, don’t hesitate to tell me what you think of it. All constructive feedback is welcome.
Now let’s hope the world can calm down a little bit and become a more peaceful place so that we can focus on more gaming, each other and our blue space ship we call earth. Happy new year!

For the majority of the game only 5 enemy models will be used. They start as grunts but can evolve into bosses if claiming a Gizmo. You can of course make 5 grunt and 5 boss models and make multiple versions depicting different factions. However, in my opinion the focus should be on the player models. So I will go the route of making only 5 generic models that will work as all factions. If one becomes a boss I simply mark it out with a token.
The models I have made is converted outof Hobgrots and a variety of different bits and bobs from Games Workshop. The heads are from Turnip28.
The little Mechno-Punks are done. I like how they turned out.
I view the style of Punk Reactor as if a Punk Rocker hade a sci-fi baby with an Ork. Slabed together, rusty and with some funky colors. Very fun to do something different for a change :) .
Slow but steady progress. Just some small details left and some rust :) .
Hope everyone has a nice holiday or to the very least a good weekend.
For me the days after Christmas is the most enjoyable. When everything calms down a bit and you can do whatever you want. That mostly means hobby time for me.
I have started to paint the Mechno-Punks. Starting with a black primer spray. A red/brown zenith spray and topping it off with a dash of leadbelcher spray.

In Sweden we celebrate Jul/Yule (Christmas) the 24th December. Which is today. Allow me to wish you all Happy Holidays!
The Mechnoids are heavily corrupted by the machine change and in some cases are more machine than Mechno punk all together but not quite a Slab bot yet .
The majority of bits is from games workshop. The body are from a kruleboyz kit. The legs are from a necron warrior. The head i believe is from a Knight kit but I could be mistaken.
The order of Slab is a delusional bunch. They believe they are direct descendants to the mysterious crew. Therefore, they are a little nobler than everyone else…but just as dumb.
However, they have nice mustache…gentlemen and ladies alike.
The majority of bits is from games workshop. The body and legs are from Horus Heresy. Arms from necromunda. Slabs and other bits are mostly from Ork kits. The head however, is a napoleonic head from an officer. I believe it comes from Perry miniatures but I am not sure.
The necro mechnos , are filthy and crude. Flesh and machine fused in a corrosive marriage. They die if they run out of batteries but not if shoot through the head. Best known for their smell of rot.
The majority of bits is from games workshop. The head is from an old collection of skull box that GW once had (maybe still have). Legs and claw arm is from Necrons and the main body is a adeptus mechanicus tank crew.
The cult of the machine. Tinkerers and crafters. Probably the most educated of all the punks on the ship…by a very thin margin mind you.
The main body is a part from a Games workshop or forge world kit. The legs and one of the arms are from games workshops genestealer cult. The bags and cases on the back are from different space marine kits, also from games workshop.
The Gathering of Pilgrims. Is a collection of fanatics. Convinced that the reactor is some form of God . They roam the ship for signs and for the path to the holy reactor itself. Some do manage to find it, but do not live long enough in its radiation to tell the tale.
The main body and most of the limbs are from game workshops adeptus mechanicus. The head is an old plastic filter for a spray gun. The rest of its bits is a collection of different bits mostly from games workshop kits.
I am working on a small document where I am intending to showcase some conversion ideas. A getting started asset of how I view each faction. As I am working on the content I will upload it here as well, for inspiration and development progression.
I am starting with the crap scrapers. Crap Scrapers are possessed by stuff, trinkets and gadgets. Anything metal can be slabbed together to form some kind of weird Gizmo. They love carrying the stuff around and can be confused with junk piles if seated.
The main body, limbs and gun is from games workshops genestealer cult. The head is from Turnip28. The scrap on its back is a bunch of bits from allover the place. All wrapped up in a piece of string.

Time flies. I haven’t updated this blog in a long while. Life has been busy, and I have been more focused on being creative than sharing it.
But stuff has been going on in the background. Time to reveal a little project I have been working on since summer.
“Punk Reactor is the low model count, Skirmish game about looting and fighting within a huge ancient spaceship, aimlessly drifting through space. Things are a little weird and a little loony. Go at it yourself or bring a friend!”
Download it here for free. Hope you will enjoy it!
Time for a quick update on the blog. Kuggköping have gone through a few updates over the past month in preparation for an upcoming expansion I am working on. Latest version is 9d. Hope you enjoy it!

Here is the first update for Oil Drenched. The game has been tweaked a little and I have also improved the campaign part of the game. Orders have been changed a little but principally it is the same.
Check it out and let me know what you think of it 😊.
