From ClintB: A few more Zulus (36 Points)

Yes In an effort to get more Zulus done I have decided to try to do some EVERY week. So here is the next batch. they are mostly "Newline Design" figures but there are a few Pendraken as well.


All the same information about the shields etc. is the same as last time so either don't worry about the details or go back and check. No I would not bother either. It is probably just as boring to check back as it is to paint these. Newline Design only seem to come in 3 different posses so It does get repetitive very quickly.


As you can see 2 single bases each with 3 figures and 5 double sized bases with 6 figures. The horde grows slowly and these should put me along with last weeks at about 1/4 of the total I will be attempting. Very simple bases of plasticard and filler topped with sand for texture and some static grass to finish off.

But there you go another 36 points and ready to take to the table top!


From Curt

I know this project is a bit of a grind but the results are very nice Clint. I find it's the wonderful cowhide shields that really add that touch of character to these bases. Remind me again, what is the final number of Zulus you are aiming for?

Great work!

  1. I am not going to count them but I have approx. another 400-500 to paint. If I just do some every week I will Eventually get through them all though. Thanks Curt.

  2. I'm sure seeing the numbers you need they're a pain in the back to paint but you've done some very nice painting on them nonetheless.

  3. They look excellent, love your shield work. Yep they will drive you crazy but when they are finished you will just love the mass effect as they crush that this red line

    1. Thanks Ian. They are not too bad if I only do a few at a time. when I try to do 100 at a time I do go "doo-lally".

  4. These look awesome! I can relate to your frustration with having to do unit after unit that looks more or less the same.

    1. Thanks Adam. Maybe I should just re arrange the bases each time and claim they are freshly painted! No one will ever know. I wonder if I could get away with it?

  5. More Zulus? Nah, these are but a trifle. Next time we want to see you submit a full Impi at 1 figure = 1 man!

    Nice work Clint :)

  6. They look real good,Clint! As you say, getting all of them completed will be an impressive sight! ( a bite at a time!)

    1. I hope so David. Maybe I should not show anymore and just drop a points bomb at the end! (That's not my style though).Cheers Mate.

    1. Thanks Ray. There are 4 Pendraken figures as well in the mix which does break up the monotony!
