Impondo Zankhomo, The Horns of the Bull is a set of rules for fighting the Anglo Zulu War of 1879 in miniature.
You will need some six sided dice (D6), a pack of normal playing cards and a few ammunition and shaken counters as well as miniatures and scenery to play.
This book contains:
Comprehensive rules for fighting engagements involving British and Zulu forces.
Four scenarios with maps and orders of battle; Rorke's Drift, Crossing the Nyzane River, Isandlwana and the disaster at the Intombe.
A construction guide for building the mission at Rorke's Drift.
A guide to painting Zulus.
As well as further articles on scenery making and miniature painting.

Congratulations matakoshi!

Roughly how many figures would one need to play?

[matakishi]

You'll need about 100 Zulus and 40 British

Looks interesting, elements or individually based?

ARe there some AARs to see how the rules works?

[matakishi]

There is a play through of one of the scenarios here:

Elements.
You can use individually based miniatures so long as you group them.

I'm of a mind just to order it for the Rorkes Drift patterns as I've always wanted to make my own personal model.

I would of course read the rues and see what I can glean from them. I'm looking for a more or less simple set with the right flavour- easier said than done in terms of rule writing- maybe your rules are just the thing for me(?)

Do you have templates in the PDF mate?

Darrell.

[matakishi]

No templates, I use photos to illustrate the build not drawings, but all measurements are given.

That's just as good

Assuming these are the same rules I played using Matakishi's great Zulu figures a short report can be found here...

Great fun and very much like the movie

They're the same rules but expanded to include other troop types and artillery etc.

It is a splendid rule book, indeed! Not just rules, but also a straight-to-the-point history lesson, four scenarios and building & painting instructions. Well written and illustrated. Great!

[Arundel]

This looks very tempting. Matakishi, would you be willing to share your painting formula for the Zulus? I love the way they look.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

It's covered in depth in the rule book
