From DaveD: “inGobamakhosi - “The Benders of Kings” (225 points)

The first post for the current projects this week. First  up this week is the 2nd Zulu Regiment for the left horn of the Zulu army . This is a large regiment with around 4000 men - the name “Benders of Kings” , I think gives a good guide on their intent . There are 212 figures in this one. It had a mix of shield patterns , with  4 different basic pattern designs .   This gives me 30% of the army . I should get over half of the total done by challenge end . Enough for a test game to wash their spears .

The frontage is 360mm 

That’s two of the 3 units from the left horn - 6000 men equivalent 

First two regiments completed , next up “Fly Catchers”

I have also completed the prep work on the next 300 figures , which will cover 3 smaller units , basecoat on ready to go so things are moving along nicely . 

Pretty sure there is a smell of Ox crap in the air as the British columns gather .. there may be trouble ahead . 

Points - 212 x 10mm figures with lots of complicated shield designs.

TeemuL: I trust your count, it sure looks that there are 212 figures with pretty shields. I can see the reasons for bonus points for shields, but it would be really hard to make mathematical calculations for a "fair" amount of points. It would be easier to not give, don't you agree?

Your army is starting to look great and it would look magnificent when "ready" or "completed." Let's see more of these next week, ok? And take 13 bonus points. ;)
