March to Hren28 – Armies by UMS Agram members

Marko Paunović, 6th August 2025

Over the past few months, our team has been preparing for the Turnip28 invitational event called H.R.E.N.28 in Slovenia in July. Since the event was a success, we owe you photos of the armies that Mario, Domagoj, Seb and Antoni assembled and painted while we followed them on their journey!

MARIO: „Hugo the tiny, first captain of the Crow knights was maybe born small, but that didn't stop him from having great dreams. After the taming of the swamp bird, he now reigns over his underlings in despite of the jokes the warband tells of the "Tiny stout". He follows Boletus on his quest, but always biding his time for an inevitable coup. The model is based on a "fat knight" 3D print, which is scaled to around 30-ish%. The bird is a plastic stork toy with an added head from a toy pteranodon a friend found on a floor of a Con in Zagreb. The toilet is just a natural progression of the idea.

Followers of the cult of the roaming Proboscis and Boletus' vision. They, along with the lesser fodder, believe in staying alive only by the power of the beast of the swamps. So they listen to Boletus when he said to stay within it's shade at all costs, lest they fall behind and starve. I wanted to make a warband of wandering knights, with all their stuff on them, and the narrative of them trailing an "always moving" beast was perfect. The banners in my warband often represent not only the colors of the cult, but also their ever-moving lifestyle. Brutes made from Perry's foot knights and official torsos from Max.

Set upon his rotting steed, Boletus leads the warband, even though no one remembers how it started. It seems he and the monster were always there, the crows and scavengers alike just trailing the monster's wake. He almost never speaks, and even when he does, it's mostly a whisper. Sometimes it even seems as if the monster listens to him. The mount is a childrens toy baby giraffe, with legs reposed a bit and a mushroom for a head (I got heavily inspired by the official art from the mercenary book). And the rider is a mix of Perry minis limbs and an official torso print. I did a bad job with GS blending and tried to hide it with it looking like the skin falls off, I think it looks good (all considered).

The great Proboscis! The beast's call can be heard through the marshes, at night or day. It seldom rests, and it is seldom peaceful. The Proboscis is called many things, but none know from where it came. Boletus says that it is thawed from ancient ice and corrupted after the apocalypse, but some among the company doubt these words. Yet all in the warband know that it is the beast that keeps them fed, if they stay from it's mouth and preferably out of it's sight. The leftovers of it's meals feed them, and they follow it wherever it roams. This creature is a 3D print of a Platybelodon, to which I added fur, 4 additional trunks, dead trees and mud. I liked the idea of a sassy snob which would get comfortable on it's back, and am glad it turned out well in the end. Really satisfied with this model, and it performed admirably in my battles(when it didn't die due to my horrible dice rolls).

Knights of the Beet. Boletus hired these bastards recently, to help with some "muscle", after the beast decided the last horsemen the had were a tasty snack. He didn't know of their own agenda though. As the followers of the Beet cult, they are already converting some of the party to their vegetal religion. For they know that with time (and luck), all in the "ever marching" warband will march to the Beet. The idea for these horsemen was the first to come up when I decided to represent them all camping and living on the go. This is, in a way, a medieval parody of the way cyclists live when bikepacking - carrying all of their stuff on horses, drying the clothes on the sun etc. The models are Perry mounted men-at-arms with added official turnip torsos.“

SEBASTIAN: „These are the Fiber-nacci’s Fallow Forshippers - the 0.618th. My (finally) painted Turnip28 army. Done in the typical muddy shades of brown for Cist. Tried to give some color with their shells while still keeping the earthy, realistic tones. Knights of Shellwood cult, the sluggish Snail Knight, the shooty Snail Gunner, the wormy Toff and the rest of this empty-shelled army slumped their way into Hren28!“

ANTONI: „Starting off with my hollow, stuffed, blackpowder Fodder and my ruthless Toff, suzerain Wort (who got himself trampled by bastards after his unit abandoned him, and later drowned). I went with The Feast of Charybdis, worshipping the holy raddish (Wort only got the job because he looks like one). Huge thanks to everyone involed in HREN28 for making it such a magical experience!

The very marrow of my cult: The Scuttlers! They are extremely shy, hiding in their citadel atop a walking island. While the crab itself is a toy, the tower and the barnacles are sculpted/kitbashed (and then coated with texture paste and mud). The Citadel's handler is the genius Lord Bum, a slightly-larger-than-average goose and a master strategist. His constant triangulations enable the crab to rise from the silt exactly where it is needed ...30% of the time.

My most dangerous and elite turnip unit: The Cannonards Stump Gun. The danger they pose is mostly directed towards themselves, as they've blown up each time I have deployed them. No matter, the thrill of rolling 3d6 attacks more than makes up for the head-losing chaos.“

Domagoj: „I had a blast painting my mushroom rootlings, led by snobs finally pulled out the big pile of unpainted models - and I could not have imagined a better place to bring my friends gifts to have some fun! I called it the Alemakers legacy - based on mushrooms that are fermenting sweet mashes into alcohol. The core of the band is two units of blackbowder mushroom rootlings led by Lord Fermi, kindly gifted by @gardensofhecate (and thank u for resparking my interest in the hobby), looking for new ways to spread their spores.

The second noble to join the fray was Baron Colguts, lover of rootbeer, leading a feisty troupe of rootlings into battle - his oversized sword replacing his pistol since they have about the same range. Got this mini as a total surprise from @colecifer_xxviii who surprised me how spontaneous and kind hobbyists can be.

The third and final snob is the birdfrog arrived from @uollas_uolsh who is cooler than cool - hope he likes his model representing the key ingrident in beer making! Sir Hops with the big heavy frog cannon - for how can u make beer without adding hops?“

We attended: Monte San Savino 2025

array(2) { ["Article"]=> array(10) { ["id"]=> string(3) "481" ["member_id"]=> string(2) "35" ["title_eng"]=> string(34) "We attended: Monte San Savino 2025" ["title_hrv"]=> string(39) "Nastupili smo na: Monte San Savino 2025" ["mask_eng"]=> string(33) "we_attended_monte_san_savino_2025" ["mask_hrv"]=> string(38) "nastupili_smo_na_monte_san_savino_2025" ["content_eng"]=> string(13933) "

Our Ivan brings you a report from the best miniature painting competition in the world.

In a small town in Italy, one of the largest and most prestigious miniature exhibitions in the world has been held every year since 2006, bringing together miniaturists from all over the world. The Knezović clan decided that it was a shame that Croatians did not come to the Monte San Savino Show, so after a great time at Kontrast, a miniature exhibition in Warsaw, we decided to visit Italy as well.

The exhibition is held in Tuscany, and all the content related to it is located within the walls of the castle around which most of the town is located. The exhibition is set in an exceptionally beautiful setting of a medieval castle, with which no other similar miniature event can be compared. The town itself allows visitors to easily get to know each other, as most of them gravitate to the square in the center of the castle.

We set off on Friday, November 14, 2025, and it took us about eight hours to get to our accommodation. Italian motorways are good, but Italians themselves often don't know what lanes are for or how to use turn signals. Large trucks often swerved left and right, and drivers usually only turned on their turn signals after they had finished changing lanes. Fortunately, none of the miniatures were damaged in transit. The Patafix and plastic box are more than enough protection for the models.

We distributed a large number of flyers in the hope that some of the visitors would come to our Black Queen, and some even promised us that they would (try to) come. We also awarded the UMS Agram Best of Show medal. We did not proceed in a "judgmental" manner, but rather we sought the work (or works) of a miniaturist that we enjoy the most. I have long appreciated Magnus Fagerberg's works and have often used them as references in my own work. They were even better in person, which is usually the case with all top-notch works. Therefore, UMS Agram presented Magnus, in addition to the Best of Show medal, with a terranino to accompany the Monograph on our work.

The exhibition itself featured the best works that we usually see on social networks, and there were about 2,000 of them in total. Almost all of the winners of this year's Golden Demon also brought their models to Monte San Savino.

The results we achieved were very good, considering the exceptionally high average quality of the works. Filip won one gold with his works in the Storytelling Standard category, while I (Ivan) won one bronze in the Storytelling Master category and one bronze in the Fantasy Painting Master category.

I'll leave the best part of the article for last, photos of some of the models we saw. Filip has since learned how to use a macro lens, so I'd say the photos turned out great.

Naš Ivan vam donosi reportažu sa najboljeg natjecanja u bojanju minijatura na svijetu.

U malom gradiću u Italiji svake se godine, još od 2006., održava jedna od najvećih i najprestižnijih izložbi minijatura na svijetu, koja okuplja minijaturiste iz cijeloga svijeta. Klan Knezović zaključio je da je šteta što na Monte San Savino Show ne dolaze Hrvati, pa smo nakon odličnog provoda na Kontrastu, izložbi minijatura u Varšavi, odlučili posjetiti i Italiju.

Izložba se održava u Toskani, a svi sadržaji vezani uz nju smješteni su unutar zidina dvorca oko kojeg se nalazi veći dio mjesta. Izložba je postavljena u iznimno lijepom ambijentu srednjovjekovnog dvorca, s kojim se ne može usporediti nijedan drugi sličan minijaturistički događaj. Sam gradić omogućuje posjetiteljima da se lako upoznaju, jer većina njih gravitira trgu u središtu dvorca.

Na put smo krenuli u petak, 14. studenoga 2025., te smo putovali oko osam sati do našeg smještaja. Talijanske autoceste su dobre, ali sami Talijani nerijetko ne znaju čemu služe prometne trake ili kako se koriste žmigavci. Veliki kamioni često su lelujali lijevo–desno, a vozači su pokazivače smjera uglavnom uključivali tek nakon što bi već završili prestrojavanje. Nijedna minijatura srećom nije nastradala u prijevozu. Patafix i plastična kutija sasvim su dovoljna zaštita za modele.

Podijelili smo veći broj letaka u nadi da će dio posjetitelja doći na naš Black Queen, a neki su nam čak i obećali da će (pokušati) doći. Dodijelili smo i UMS Agram Best of Show medalju. Nismo se vodili „sudački“, nego smo tražili rad (ili radove) jednog minijaturista u kojima najviše uživamo. Već dugo cijenim radove Magnusa Fagerberga i često sam ih koristio kao reference u vlastitom radu. Uživo su bili još bolji, što je u pravilu slučaj sa svim vrhunskim radovima. Stoga je UMS Agram Magnusu, uz Best of Show medalju, poklonio i jedan teranino za uz Monografiju o našem radu.

Na samoj izložbi mogli su se vidjeti najbolji radovi koje inače viđamo na društvenim mrežama, a ukupno ih je bilo oko 2000. Gotovo svi pobjednici ovogodišnjeg Golden Demona također su donijeli svoje modele na Monte San Savino.

Rezultati koje smo ostvarili bili su vrlo dobri, s obzirom na iznimno visoku prosječnu kvalitetu radova. Filip je sa svojim radovima u kategoriji Storytelling Standard osvojio jedno zlato, dok sam ja (Ivan) osvojio jednu broncu u kategoriji Storytelling Master i jednu broncu u kategoriji Fantasy Painting Master.

Za kraj ostavljam onaj najbolji dio članka, fotografije nekih od modela koje smo vidjeli. Filip je u međuvremenu izučio korištenje makro leće pa su fotografije rekao bih odlično ispale.

Science behind Acrylic Paints

array(2) { ["Article"]=> array(10) { ["id"]=> string(3) "480" ["member_id"]=> string(2) "64" ["title_eng"]=> string(29) "Science behind Acrylic Paints" ["title_hrv"]=> string(25) "Znanost iza akrilnih boja" ["mask_eng"]=> string(29) "science_behind_acrylic_paints" ["mask_hrv"]=> string(25) "znanost_iza_akrilnih_boja" ["content_eng"]=> string(4438) "

In this article, our Dunja takes us behind the science of acrylic paints!

Acrylic paints – high pigment content and good coverage. If they are well formulated, they stay where you apply them, don't leave "brush marks" and dry slowly enough to do what you want on the miniature, yet still fast enough.

Composition:

Binders (eng. resin) – form a film – in our case probably pure acrylates, I suspect they are styrene acrylates.
Fillers – in addition to adding volume to the paint, they also affect the viscosity, coverage and appearance of the dry film
Pigments – the main division is into organic pigments and inorganic pigments. Inorganic ones are more covering but have less vivid shades, while organic ones are often quite poorly covering (yellow for example) but their shades are vivid and bright

Additives:

Anti-foam
Rheological modifiers – affect the behavior of wet paint on the substrate (e.g. spillage) and the behavior of the paint when a force is applied to it (brush, roller, spray, airbrush). Rheological modifiers also include thickeners that affect the viscosity of the paint.
Dispersants – envelop pigment and filler particles and prevent their agglomeration during standing. Good dispersion of pigment and filler affects the coverage and uniform appearance of the dry film. There are a bunch more but I won't go into too much detail
Solvent – in this case water.

Contrast paints and speed paints – high pigment content, but not so much that it causes high coverage. They are formulated to spread, not to stay where you put them. The result of spreading is that the paint collects in the recesses, where a thicker film of paint remains than on the protruding parts of the miniature. Where the film of paint is thicker (the recesses), the shade of the contrast paint is more pronounced, unlike on the protruding parts where the film is thinner, which is why the shade is then influenced by the color of the substrate.

Composition:

Binders
Pigments
Additives – all listed above + surfactants that reduce the surface tension of the wet paint film, which is why it flows
solvent
I would say they do not contain fillers, or contain very, very little of them

Washes – similar in formulation and behavior to contrast agents, only they have a much lower proportion of pigments, certainly no fillers, a higher proportion of surfactants, lower viscosity, and probably less binders.

If we want to greatly dilute acrylic paint or contrast, it is better to use a product intended for this purpose from the manufacturer of that paint rather than water, because it contains all the necessary amount of binders and additives for that paint to retain its properties.

" ["content_hrv"]=> string(4306) "

U ovom članku, naša Dunja nam otkriva znanost iza akrilnih boja.

Akrilne boje – visoki udio pigmenta i dobra pokrivnost. Ako su dobro formulirane ostaju tamo gdje ih naneseš, ne ostavljaju „brush marks“ i suše se dovoljno sporo da stigneš napravit što želiš na minijaturi a opet dovoljno brzo.

Sastav:

Veziva (eng. resin) – formiraju film – u našem slučaju vjerojatno čisti akrilati, sumnjam da su stiren akrilati.
Punila – osim što dodaju volumen boji utječu i na viskoznost, pokrivnost i izgled suhog filma
Pigmenti – glavna podjela je na organske pigmente i anorganske pigmente. Anorganski su više pokrivni ali manje živih nijansi, dok su organski često dosta loše pokrivni (žuti npr) ali zato su im nijanse žive i jarke

Aditivi:

Protiv pjene
Reološki modifikatori – utječu na ponašanje mokre boje na podlozi (npr razlijevanje) i na ponašanje boje dok na nju djeluje sila (kist, valjak, sprej, airbrush). Pod reološke modifikatore spadaju i ugušćivači koji utječu na viskozitet boje.
Dispergatori – obavijaju čestice pigmenata i punila i sprječavaju aglomeraciju istih stajanjem. Dobra dispergiranost pigmenta i punila utječe na pokrivnost i ujednačen izgled suhog filma.
Ima ih još hrpa ali neću toliko u detalje
Otapalo – u ovom slučaju voda.

Kontrastice i speed paints – visoki udio pigmenta, ali ne toliki da uzrokuje visoku pokrivnost. Formulirane su da se razlijevaju, a ne da ostaju tamo gdje ih staviš. Posljedica razlijevanja je skupljanje boje u udubine gdje onda ostane deblji film boje nego na isturenim dijelovima minijature. Tamo gdje je film boje deblji (udubine) nijansa kontrastice izraženija, za razliku od isturenih dijelova na kojima je film tanji zbog čega na nijansu onda utječe boja podloge.

Sastav:

Veziva
Pigmenti
Aditivi – svi nabrojani gore +
surfakanti koji smanjuju površinsku napetost mokrog filma boje zbog čega i dolazi do razlijevanja
otapalo
rekla bih da ne sadrže punila, ili ih sadrže vrlo vrlo malo

Washevi – po principu formuliranja i ponašanju slični kontrasticama, samo imaju puno manji udio pigmenata, sigurno ne sadrže punila, veći udio surfakanata, manji viskozitet i vjerojatno manje veziva.

Ako želimo jako razrijediti akrilnu boju ili kontrasticu bolje je koristiti za to predviđen proizvod od proizvođača te boje nego vodu, jer sadrži svu potrebnu količinu veziva i aditiva kako bi ta boja zadržala svoja svojstva.

Necropolis Board part 1

	In October we started with our first board for Necropolis, and with an appropriate theme! – the Eternal Autumn configuration from the Necropolis rulebook. The configuration is such that it only requires 3 trees, which we considered too boring, so instead of one tree, we plan to build a cubic lime kiln and 2 streams.

	  

	The board is inspired by Hawthorne's story Ethan Brand, where several characters talk about the unforgivable sin (next to a lime kiln in the middle of an American pastoral idyll). Aesthetically, we're aiming for early fall with rural motifs, along with gnarled trees (ala Burton's Sleepy Hollow) and a few pumpkins.

	  

	For now, we are very far from any aesthetic choices because we have dealt with the basic structure of the board: the housing is made of pine glued boards for the floor and pine profiles for the sides. After we glued everything with Drvofix, the entire housing was finely sanded. The size of the Styrodur board that fits into the housing is 40cmx40cmx2cm (Necropolis standard is 16"x16").

	  

	The placement of the stream itself was difficult to choose due to the peculiar, angular deployment in Necropolis, so we used token strings to try out a few potential streams that would least interfere with the game. Although we planned to keep our forest streams shallow, we still carved channels with a scalpel and a rotary multitool and coated the beds with diluted texture paste. While the paste dried, we added various sizes of pebbles and created a transition across the stream with larger pebbles.

	  

	The trees are actually real mangroves, so they have natural knots and twists. To add a Sleepy Hollow feel, we hollowed out a few holes in the wood to house the greenstuff faces. We propped up one tree with pieces of pine bark so it wouldn't lean too much and interfere with play.

	  

	The next step is to cover the entire board with a mixture of gypsum and sand and make the stove itself.

	U listopadu smo započeli s našim prvim boardom za Necropolis, i to s primjerenom tematikom! – Eternal Autumn konfiguracijom iz Necropolis rulebooka. Konfiguracija je takva da nalaže samo 3 stabla, što smo smatrali predosadnim te umjesto jednog stabla kanimo izraditi kockastu vapnenu peć i 2 potoka.

	  

	Board je inspiriran Hawthorneovom pričom Ethan Brand, gdje nekoliko likova priča o neoprostivom grijehu (pored vapnare usred američke pastoralne idile). Estetski ciljamo na ranu jesen s ruralnim motivima, uz kvrgava stabla (ala Burtonov Sleepy Hollow) i nekoliko bundeva.

	  

	Za sada smo jako daleko od ikakvih estetskih odabira jer smo se nosili s osnovnom građom boarda: kućište je napravljeno od borovih lijepljenih dasaka za podni dio i borovih profila za bočne strane. Nakon što smo sve zalijepili drvofixom, cijelo kućište je fino izbrušeno. Veličina stirodur ploče koja sjeda u kućište je 40cmx40cmx2cm (Necropolis standard je 16“x16“).

	  

	Sami smještaj potoka bilo je teško odabrati zbog osebujnog, kutnog deploymenta u Necropolisu pa smo koristili nizove tokena da isprobamo nekoliko potencijalnih tokova koji bi najmanje ometali igru. Iako planiramo da nam šumski potoci budu plitki, i dalje smo skalpelom i rotirajućim multitoolom izrezbarili kanale i premazali korita razrijeđenom teksturnom pastom. Dok se pasta sušila, ubacili smo razne veličine kamenčića i uspostavili prijelaz preko potoka većim kamenčićima.

	  

	Stabla su zapravo pravo mangrovo drvo, tako da ima prirodne kvrge i zavijutke. Kako bismo dodali sleepy hollow šmek, izdubili smo nekolika rupa u drvu gdje bismo smjestili greenstuff lica. Jedno smo drvo poduprli s komadima borove kore kako ne bi bilo previše nagnuti i ometalo igru.

	  

	Sljedeći korak je prekrivanje cijelog boarda smjesom gipsa i pijeska te izrada same peći.
