I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

Fantastic!

I doubt that I shall ever have that many Zulus painted up (but I may go for a more 'speed-painting' approach when I have finished my IHMN impi to get a somewhat larger force ready for the table).
Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!

Fantastic looking forces and sounds like a thrilling battle. Very inspiring. I am having fun with "Black Powder" in Zululand myself at present. Look forward to seeing more reports of these impressive armies.

Hi folks - prepping for the second battle (taking place on Monday night ) has started. We are going to be using The Men Who Would be Kings ruleset with some tweaks. For these amendments and the unit cards prepared head over to the blog

Wish us luck - the Batrep will go up the following day (hopefully)
