USUTHU!
More Zulus! I finally finished a whole unit of them! I’ve
been back and forth about what size to make these units. It’s going to
be 10, 15, or 20 – mostly because I can neatly fit them in rows of 10
in the storage drawers… sad, perhaps, but that’s the way I am. I had
toyed with the idea of having the unmarried units (such as these below)
in units of 20 and the married warriors in units of 15, but I think I’ve
more or less settled on units of 15 (but I guess that could change
depending on the scenario – benefits of singly based figures!). Ten
seems too few to represent formation of company or battalion size.
Twenty would just be WAAAAAY too many toys to paint.
More rambling on the Zulu War shortly…
(Remember: click on the pictures for a bigger version)
These are unmarried warriors from
Wargames Foundry.
The spears and shields are separate, which makes for a pain in the butt
to put together, but also makes form some lively, animated figures!
