Warlord/Empress Plastic Zulus

Preview: Plastic Zulus!
We recently showed off the 3-ups of our forthcoming plastic Anglo-Zulu Wars British infantry. Now it’s the turn of their adversaries – the Zulus!

Below you’ll find a couple of photos of the 3-ups for the Zulu boxed sets. As you’ve come to expect from Warlord plastic sets there will be a stack of options for building these proud African warriors – just a few of which are shown here…

These sets are being produced in conjunction withZulu War experts Empress Miniatures so you know they’ll be as historicaly accurate as possible as well as having that dash of Warlord thrown in for good measure!

Yes, there will be more firearms, more heads with less extravagent hair styles/headresses and, of course,  more bodies with chainmail loincloths*

There will be two Zulu boxed sets – unmarried and married. The married ones will undoubtedly look miserable and henpecked!

New plastic British Redcoats and two new plastic Zulu sets – could we be any better to you?

The answer is, of course, YES! So, we’ll also be doing a Natal Native Contingent set in plastic too!


* was a joke LOL lol

I wish they would do a Zulu in chainmail. With an axe. And a pal named Quatermain.

I like them better than the British. Very nice body forms. A bit of variation never hurts.

3 ups? I thought they were 3 times taller so would have expected the pics to be bigger ;D ;D

Certainly look very animated

About a million times better than the Wargames Fctory versions.  Damn! Perry plastic Hadendowah or Empress plastic Zulus?  >:(

 lol lol

I wish they would do a Zulu in chainmail. With an axe. And a pal named Quatermain.

Maybe if enough people were to pester them......  ;)

I'd certainly buy one of each!

Well, they are certainly more 'aggressive' poses than the metal versions, but.....
...they are not metal, they are plastic and hence will probably not appear in GHQ.
But, I like them and am sure they will sell well.
