Title: Some Zulus
Post by: DFlynSqrl on 29 May 2009, 05:30:59 AM

I decided to get in on the fun and paint some Zulus myself.  :)

I think the marriage hoop on their head  is supposed to be a darker color, but I wanted a little contrast from all the darker colors already on the mini.  Hope you enjoy.

Yes, well done Mr Squirrel. You do realise, of course, that these won't be nearly enough. You will need several hundred more  lol

Thanks guys.  I'll definately be getting more Zulus.  I ordered "The Sword and the Flame" rules and their hopefully in the mail.  Once I've read through them I'll have a better idea of how many I need for a fun game.

A good choice of rules, especially as you're from the USA. You should find plenty of inspiration and help from fellow TSATFers, either in person or online.

From memory you will three times as many Zulu's as British. So thats a lot more to paint... ;)
