From MartinC - 28mm Zulus (120 Points)


Seats have been taken at the card tables and it's time to put your money on the table. I'll start with these 24 Zulus for 120 points. These are part of the Cetshwayo Challenge and explains my 4:1 handicap




For those how have seen my first attempt at these on my blog you will know I have a large number of terrible Zulu figures that I need to paint and base. The Foundry figures are boring, the Warrior Miniatures are dynamic but poor quality and the unknown manufacturer ones are boring and poor quality. The plan is to put them on bases of 12 and then add the remains of a hanging basket as long grass to hide the offending figures. The painting is basic and I plan to use the shields to identify them. These are the iNdlu-yengwe. Think I will tweak the bases in the future with more dry brushing to show up more clearly.


Fantastic stuff Martin! I quite like like the effect of the elephant grass - very evocative (and a good use of camouflage).
120 Points - A great opening gambit for your Chetswayo Challenge.
