The Natal Carbineers ~ a completed unit
« on: 15 May 2010, 01:38:18 PM »
I've finished my first Volunteer unit for the Zulu War British army I'm slowly building up. The horses are a joy to paint up, vastly superior to your standard 'wargames horse'.



The Natal Carbineers mounted for action.



And in dismounted skirmish order.

Nice!

They look a lot more appealing in colour over the metals to me. Hadn't really fancied any of these before.

I expect that's true of most figures, you know, Svennn. In my case though, some look better before I've painted them..... :?

How do these compare, sizewise to Perry's Sudan British hussars

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

I based mine for my own Zulu War rules, which are in the final stage of development. Mounted bases are as you see them, 2 or 3 figures on an 80mm x 50mm base, 2 or 3 dismounted figures on a base40mm x 50mm. I use railway type ballast, fine and medium mixes with larger 'rocks' to taste ~ all from Hobbycraft ~ and garden twine 'long grass' ~ much cheaper than the imported stuff!
