The SWILL PUBLIC SHITTEST is rocketing towards completion. Alexei and I are working hard to get it into a shape worthy of your eyes.
This is of course just the beginning and Swill will evolve...
Never before have I seen such creations! A foul flotilla packed with screaming mutants. Each, twisted by your own imaginations into a horrific tub boat freaks, and all starting from a humble tin can.
Blood has been shed, tears have been wept, and now we can announce our winner.

It is Eel Day, and pouring out of the Dockyards come the hordes of the Pfishmonger Guilds.
Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of screaming, ragged mutants, froth at the mouths in a hateful frenzy. Barking muffled obscenities and chain smoking cigarettes, They press each other forwards, shoving friend and foe alike off the ramshackle wharfs and into the swill.
Flailing in the sticky tar, the hopeless fools knocked over-side are quickly dragged down into the dark to be eaten...
"Oh God, my insides."
Hello Everyone.
The Vats have been boiling and the international print shop is absolutely full of putrid new minis! Including: The beekeepers of Bhir, Frogspawn's 50 pounder, The Herd, and The Butcher Brigade upgrade pack.
The Vatmen have graciously allowed me to offer some discounted bundles and a Cult Starter too. I only had to donate a few fingers.

Dear Patrons
Something awful has happened.
I have decided that Scab Steamers are more fun than tanks - I need you to make some.
1 x Scab Steamer: Monstrous ironclad and sentient meat storage device.
Using a tin can, craft and paint a Scab Steamer.
The Scab Steamer must be able to fit at least 3 minis on its deck and must be based on a tin, can or tin can. Swill's board ...

The Vats emptied and the putrid remains of the failed homunculi oozed into the streets. The inhabitants of that foetid isle were thankful. finally something good to eat.

Hunched figures, hideous beyond all imagining, swarm around an enormous bubbling cauldron.
The Vat Lives.
Squeals of agony are squeezed out of a mass of pitiful creatures as chains are pulled and levers cranked.
The Vat Hungers
A new age dawns as a thousand abominable homunculi, never seen before on this earth are spilled onto the cold floor, their limbs a pale grey, their sinews twisting as they harden.
The Vat GIVES.

The wonderful Thomas Carroll has given us a glimpse into one of the forgotten alleyways of Swill. Plastered with adverts for all sorts of strange products, events and job opportunities.
Along with this, he's been kind enough to provide a print out sheet of posters to add to your terrain.
Rules update on the swilltest to come. Now with more trauma!
Here's a fantastic illustration by Moritz for one of the two new cults for the global campaign. Two mighty factions will wage a brutal and deadly, month long, battle over cist. Much to the annoyance of the civilians.
2 new factions, 2 new cults. Pick your favourite and conquer the map. Paint, play, team up and annoy me to unlock access to mods of existing cults with your factions specific buffs.

In the work up to the Global Campaign I'm refining the cult balancing. With this update I've focused on the Toadpole/Green Cults.
Please give this a play and see how you feel. I'm sure a little more adjustment is needed.

Legend tells of a great and beautiful city. Swallowed by the earth and plunged into the depth of the world.
The survivors, surrounded by a lake of malevolent oil, built a new city in the dark. Its foundation, the bloated corpses of millions.
The city now thrives, its brutal conditions pouring more and more dead into its ever sinking foundations.
This year I am building an entire city, my most ambitious project ye...

and of course, I couldn't leave you without a little teaser.
A scuffle in Swill has lead to a poor turnip breathing his last. Fishmarket haggling is much more violent than on the surface.
Don't worry though, the sprats are here to clean up the mess.

Out of the decaying forest of Shellwood slimes a knight, so bold, so heroic, so spectacularly delayed, that all cower before them.
A combination of several sculptors, a lot of exploded resin, and some shattered lances, this nightmare is finally ready to print.
I'll send you Tod's Folly patrons a message with your Snaily link.

Squelching out of the marshes, ready to stab you in the knees, come an eclectic band of root vegetables.
Rootlings!

What a nightmare
TANKS!
But I think I got them working now. Skirmish games are all about interacting with terrain, so the key was making the tank ... gorka morka style movable terrain.
Lots of places to put minis. Made out of sardine, spam and other tins and containers. - covered in stuff to sell... Think portable carboot sales.
I still need to tweak a few things to get them to crush your own chaps in their tracks by accident when startled and without needing a sc...
Well... its more of a snowy hill.

I'm doing some Swill rules layout now with Alexei, and these pieces will take the form of tourist adverts in a Victorian style newspaper. The Turnip Expeditionary Company is doing everything it can to recruit some more fools since the last disaster.
Each of these places will have some fun rules, hopefully giving your lots of ways to theme your weenies.

Work Life Balance
In the stifling heat and oppressive gloom of the public toilets, Phle’gm assembled his urinal cakes. The Workhouse had branded the cakes ‘New and Improved,’ of which Phle’gm was slightly dubious. Stamped with the face of a grinning halibut and boasting ten percent more swill, the foul oily substance from which the city took its name.
Phle’gm always seemed to have the worst of it. For as long as he could remember, which was ...

TURNIP RANKINGS
I'm interested in throwing an experimental digital tournament, with rankings, chess clocks, prizes and a little more of a cut throat attitude (while stream chat messes with you).
With that in mind, I want to balance some of the cults. I'm starting with the green cults first. SO Please, and only if you've played them, can you fill out this form ranking the cul...
Desperate peasants from all over Cist flock to the streets of Sallow.
The Turnip Expeditionary Company is promising adventure, riches and a rudely shaped parsnips to all who sign up. What awaits these hapless recruits as they journey out of their homeland and into the wider world? We will have to wait and see.
