They look much better as you have them and more realistic.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Lee.'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182231306997961847.post-68362249599682997812014-12-05T00:45:04.563-08:002014-12-05T00:45:04.563-08:00Hi Lee,
Really impressive work.
Regarding the Zu...Hi Lee,<br /><br />Really impressive work.<br /><br />Regarding the Zulu War I suggest reading the following two books:<br /><br />Black Soldiers of the Queen: The Natal Native Contingent in the Anglo-Zulu War by P.S. Thompson<br /><br />The Anatomy of the Zulu Army: From Shaka to Cetshwayo, 1818-79 (Greenhill Military Paperback) by Ian Knight <br /><br />The are some line drawings in Ian Knights book that give a good impression of how a Zulu company would deploy. Often people just base Zulu's as an irregular horde and that's not really right. Really they should be in multiple thin lines - I've based some like that for my own AZW project for Black Powder http://wargamesodyssey.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/first-zulu-base-finished.html<br /><br />The other book really good and gives you a different view of the war. It covers most of the major and minor encounters and gives a very detailed look at the NNC. <br /><br />Hope the above helps. <br /><br />Cheers<br />RichardRichard Naylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411439028149060147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182231306997961847.post-42071843613837148362014-12-04T10:00:46.372-08:002014-12-04T10:00:46.372-08:00Impressive units!Impressive units!Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913029478686087197noreply@blogger.com
