Sure to start some arguments, but....
« on: 02 June 2009, 03:59:39 PM »
... here is news of Wargames Factory's new Zulu sprues:

http://www.wargamesfactory.com/AnnouncementRetrieve.aspx?ID=23701

The sprues are available immediately, 6 US Dollars for a pair, making up 5 warriors. There are lots of spares on each sprue. And, they  have "wibbly" shields......

The boxed set will apparently be available soon.

I'm reserving judgement until I see painted examples, especiallly how they match up against Empress etc. Also I want to find out exactly what is in the box, as they appear to be more expensive than both British Infantry and the controversial Zombie boxes.

Hmm. I don't want any Zulus, but I like how you can buy the weapon/shield sprue separately. I may get a bunch of those, to help turn some more of my Darkest Africa generic warriors into Ngoni types. I'm almost out of Foundry Zulu-style shields.

And the weapon/shield sprues are only 2.00 USD, so seem pretty good value.

Got to stay positive for our American cousins, they seem to get upset if we don't.
