Wow !  They look great.

Thanks Thagor and Mason. They do look cool en mass.    The last big unit will probably have to wait for January.  Not only will painting time be scarce in December and I need to paint something without a uniform for a bit.

Finally managed to get back to this project in February.  Took some time from the large units to finish a unit of Boers for our first game.

welcome back and congratulations

the reds are gorgeous, what did You use?

[syrinx0]

Most of the paints are foundry.  The red vest/jackets are deep maroon (64) with a light GW red wash.  The red hat on the left was an old GE red gore highlighted with GW blood red. The rifles are "Aidikolor Oak".

The Aidikolor was a icky sludge reconstituted with a jewelry cleaner thanks to a post I saw here on LAF awhile back. Took a few runs to work but I was happy with the result.

great palette

Have not had a spare moment to take any pictures but the project is still alive.  Actually managed to paint a few units in April and May and get in a few Black Powder Zulu games. Not the best lighting but here is a picture of the first artillery unit I completed.

Finally finished the last of my infantry units though I probably will never field it.  I couldn't look at the half painted without feeling guilty.    I have 4 units of 24  and we just don't field that many units in our games.  I am leaving the bases unfinished until I decide if I will sell it.

Looks pretty good

[Dr Mathias]

It would be pretty cool to see them all on a table though

[syrinx0]

It certainly would be but we will need quite a few more Zulu to keep the correct ratios on the table.

There are rumblings of a Franco Prussian war project but I want to finish my Dacian project before that.  

But back on the subject of the current project. I had quite a few units partially completed while I was painting base colors on the regular foot. Time to finish those now.

Here are the Natal Police from Empress Miniatures. I really like these figures as they were fun to paint.

Went back and almost finished my Redoubt Zulu war British auxiliaries and wounded.




These are older sculpts with some heavy flash but they have a lot of character.  A little bling for the battlefield.
