Zulu War continued

Further to my earlier post (http://brummyladsworldofpainting.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/zulu-war-project.html) I have been working on my Zulu War project in amongst all the other things I have been painting, and have a few units finished up. I had originally planned to have them based for Principles of War, but part way through decided to base them singly so I can use them for the Sword and the Flame, and will also be using them for Black Powder

Command units for BP:

 

 

 

Royal Artillery Gatling Gun and Naval Brigade Gardiner Gun:

 

Mounted Infantry and a Regiment of Infantry (probably the 80th):

 

 

I've also completed a couple of practice figures for a couple more regiments, namely the KRRC and the 91st Highlanders:

 

Lots more to come for this project, so watch this space! :-)

Zulu War Project

Hi all!

I've been working on a project I had planned a year ago, but have only just gotten around to starting recently: The Zulu War for Principles of War. All figures are 1:72 plastics from Hat, A Call to Arms, and Esci. (Apologies for the poor quality of the photographs!) I've had a long running interest in this period, like many others I'm sure, which started with my dad showing me Zulu! And now that Hat have brought out some of their long awaited miniatures, I'm able to get this project going.

The collection so far includes the 1/24th Foot, Naval Brigade, 2 Royal Artillery batteries, and a few casualty markers.

I have some mounted infantry and the 99th foot on the painting table. I'm just waiting for Hat to release their Natal Native Infantry and British command and I will almost have all of the figures I need. And I've recently found out that they are planning some colonial dragoons!!!!

I am, however, struggling to find suitable figures to use for the Durban and Victoria mounted rifles. If anyone knows of any manufacturers that make compatible 20mm or 1:72 figures I can use for these, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks for looking

Zulu War - Naval Brigade query

Well, I've not long started a new project, being the Zulu War for the Principle of War ruleset. I have my first couple of British regiments painted, of which photos will be added later.

I asked a question on the Miniatures Page concerning the Naval Brigade, and whether the following is accurate or not, and what changes will need to be made. Hopefully the response will provide me more accurate depiction of the Naval Brigade, and then I'll be able to get cracking on the full unit!

(Sorry about the bluriness of the 1st photo)
