Basing Zulus

[Red Sveta]

I am about to start the Zulu War with Warlord Games Zulu Army Starter pack. What are the best options for basing the figures? In groups or individually. I want to use T&T rules as well as some larger games. Ideas and inspiration sought form the forum members.

Thank You.

I would suggest singly and then you have the option for larger games with sabot trays 

After years of having the vast majority of my samurai on 40x40 I'm currently doing the whole lot on pennies with the view of using sabot trays 

cheers

Hi, i also play the Anglo Zulu war with T & T rules and I use a mix of single based miniatures and multi based figures on round or oval multi base. I do not base more than three miniatures per multibase.

Thanks. I will give the mix of basing a try and use movement bases for singles. Are there any pictures of based figures out there? The battles took place in January but that is summer in SA I think. So the grass....Green tufts or Brown?

At that time of year, the grass would mainly be green.

At Isandlwana, it was very long, so I use X-large tufts.

Cheers

I forgot to say that my British are all Single based.
I used a mix of light and darf green grass tufts.
On some bases I mixed the green grass with some light brown grass tufts.
