As promised, here is the British and Boer forces for the Zulu war. The British Cavalry bore the worst of the damage to their lances and swords but otherwise this whole thing is a testament to the wonderful Testors' dullcoat - and always use two coats!
The lad helped me build this - my first wargaming video. Its a but self indulgent but it was fun to make
For those who prefer stills, here are the key ones.
24th Foot: The Thin Red Line
The 60th Rifles
Stout lads of the Naval Brigade - with Gatling Gun!
Fire support of the Royal Artillery
Breach loading 9pdr - note the VC on the right most figure (painted on during a game in which this gun, down to the last man, held off and then broke the last Zulu Regiment to claim the day!)
British Cavalry - 17th Lancers and Hussars
Boer Irregulars
Hoping to get them onto a table for some action shortly!
Very cool mate. Nice to see the Naval Brigade in sennet hats!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate - yes, very stylish indeed!
