zulu war project

[itchy]

My zulu project is under way with a few zulus and Brits done with loads more on my desk . Lots more pics on my blog with also photos of the Zulu war heroes graves I have managed to visit so far and other bits and bobs about the 1879 conflict.

I like the look of your project, I am starting the same thing having decided to go 28mm and sell my 20s. I need some more zulus at the moment and I am lookinh at Oldglory because I dont like sticking the plastics together, I have 28 Blacktree designs zulus so far.

Hi Red , I was put off at first by the plastic but they go together really well so long as you use a good glue I use either Humbrol or reveal with the long metal applicators. My Zulus are mainly Warlord plastic with war-games factory and some metal Empress but I have recently added some Black Tree Zulus as well all match up really good but I have not looked at Old Glory though .Would like to see some of your stuff when you get started .

Had the first play test of my rules , a brief run down on my blog sadly got carried away with peoples reactions to the rules and only remembered to take 2 pics ? . Been asked to run a bigger game so will take more pics then .

Great set up  .

I'm trying to find decent plans for Rorkes Drift so I can scratch build it.

Has anyone got any ideas?

I just played a long game of Zulu War today with Soldiers of the Queen.  I'll post a battle report tomorrow.  It did not end well for the British.  Also I just finished painting those Zulu character figures.  Good stuff.

A fine start. 

Much good can be said about the black tree zulu range I think.

Thanks for all the kind comments ,



never played soldiers of the queen so look forward to that AAR

Plans for the Drift are all over the internet ,this ones basic but good

Nicely done! I'm enjoying seeing the progress you're making. Aren't the Empress figures lovely to work with?
