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.

Fantastic painting and basing.

Nice unit of 'zebras'.

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

Cracking stuff you are really cranking these out, you will need more Zulu's soon

Actually I found six Zulus in a draw in GHQ today, you must be psychic! They are preped and sprayed up now for painting next week. I'm still on Lord Rawnsley at the moment ~ very pink!

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

Thanks.

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!
