Operation Zulu begins

I've finished my first twenty Anglo-Zulu war red coats.  These figures are from warlord games.  And I've based them on chopped up bits of games workshop modular movement tray (most useful gw product ever).  I've based them in groups of four, two standing and two kneeling.  I haven't taken as time on these as I normally would because there's loads of them, and they still need based.  I've got about forty more red coats to do, as well as small wad of natal native contingent, a smattering of officers and a gatling gun.  Then its onto the zulu's.

here they are

Lord Skrolk

Just a quick update with some more Warhammer Quest stuff.

Lord Skrolk.  I'm quite chuffed with the dirty look I've managed to pull off here.

A few more goblins.

And an ashigaru from Bushido.  I bought a starter set a while back because I thought they look cool.  I'll find some use for her, I might make up my own rule set for her.

I've decided to set myself a challenge.  I'm going to try and paint all my Anglo-Zulu war stuff before the end of the year.  This includes Rourke's Drift itself.  Could be quite hard going, there's a lot of Zulu's.  Wish me luck.

Commission Complete

Well after a week and a bit of furiously painting genestealers for my friend I'm finished.

All twenty two of them and a broodlord.  Some close ups

Even closer close ups

this one confuses me its almost as if the sculptor forgot one of his arms

he's got the shoulder joint but no arm... and there's two of them in the box.



and the boss beastie the broodlord

Now he also wanted me to turn this chaos lord into an iron warrior

Now its an nice conversion, but was unfortunately was super glued together.  Everything I've tried to strip that's been super glued together has fallen to bits.  So I had to try and paint over the top of it.  There is a few bits poking through but its not that noticeable with the naked eye.

 I think he turned out alright.

I've got a couple games of batman lined up at the club tomorrow.  I might take some pictures.  I'm going to start painting my Joker crew up this week, expect pictures.


Well that's it from me.  Until next time happy wargaming.
