My latest regiment completes the Zulu Reserve at Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift.  At that battle this married regiment was brigaded with the following Zulu regiments:

iNdluyengwe (“The Leopard’s Lair”) – Unmarried regiment.

inDlondlo (“Black Mamba”) – Married regiment.

Uthulwana (“The Dust Raisers”) – Married regiment.

Having not been committed to the main battle, these are they units that made their way to and attacked Rorke’s Drift.

Love the pot bellied commander.

In my last order from Black Tree had one figure broken off at the ankle. Decided to use him as a casualty figure rather than repair him.

I now have a single solitary Zulu figure left to paint – a Zulu boy herding cattle. I have completed ten 36 figure units which I am pretty happy with, on the whole. If I had my time again I would probably not have based them individually but having had a few games, the sabot bases have presented no real issues. I did find that a tiny bit of Blu-Tac helps.

Time to return to Napoleonics or perhaps some fantasy stuff – not sure yet.
