Rorke’s Drift Part 31 – 110 Zulus complete

I have 110 Zulus completed including their individual bases and the 10 man movement trays.

Not quite thousands of em but a good lot. I have another 170 to do BUT I’ll also be acquiring even more to reach 400. Why? Well two reasons. The first, and most obvious reason, is that I’m clearly a little nuts. The second reason is that I’d like to extend the Rorke’s Drift project so I can play a battle/game of Isandlwana as well.

If you’re a little unclear what the battle of Isandlwana was I’d suggest watching a few docos on YouTube, watching the movie Zulu Dawn (nowhere near as good as Zulu but worth a watch) and reading all about the battle here –

Basically though it was a huge massacre for the British who greatly underestimated their Zulu foe.

400 Zulu warriors is the new target so I can play both Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift.

Yes I could work with less Zulus and just reuse or respawn fallen warriors but that wouldn’t tickle my fancy at all. I want to see hordes of Zulus engulfing the British encampment at Isandlwana in the form of the horns of the bull. I want to see swarms of Zulu warriors charging mealie bags and busting into the hospital at Rorke’s Drift. I won’t settle for anything less hehe.

Like I did last year, I’d like to put it out there that if anyone would like to help me paint these warriors please get in touch here – gardensbytheminute@gmail.com. I will pay for postage both ways and give you a rough idea on colours but as you can see they’re pretty straightforward. You can paint one, five, ten, fifty haha whatever you want really.

Cheers
