From MartinC - I'll Raise You Another Impi (120 Points)


Work's party yesterday so a little peaky today. Now off work for 2 weeks, so I get to do some painting - which is nice.

Finished another Impi today. These 24 Zulus are the umKhuse regiment in their Sunday go to meeting clothes. These were a pain as 12 figures don't fit on a single 80x60mm base so I had to cut off a lot of their hands before attaching the shields to make them fit.







Great work Martin! I know you had to do a bit of fiddling about to fit them all on the base, but they do look fabulous ranked-up in a tight mob. Again the grass is a great touch and I like the red shields on these fellows. 
This impi will give you 120 points to add to your tally. I have a strange feeling we'll be seeing more of these fierce chaps coming over the horizon...

      Ta, they are a little boring to paint though. I need some better castings to paint. Luckily Christmas soon

    Yep one of the most boring wargames armies to paint I think. But you have done them very well and when they are all done you will get some great games I am sure.

    The only thing to top the impis will be if you can do a Fort Bromhead! And if possible when you complete the lot can we have a group photo?

    I checked the lank on Zulu shields it is a newer version of my information. So we are both singing from the same hymn book!

    Still reeling from the first post you go and hit me with another splendid Impi! I was hoping the office party might have slowed you down!

    Another great entry. Clever basing for super looking units and individual figures still available for skirmish games.
