I've got the book 'Zulu' by Ian Knight, along with the Osprey books, it gives a real insight to their army. Defeating them was no easy feat.

You're right, Richie. I shouldn't have mounted the Rorke's Drift defenders set under a glass dome. The Zulus look terrific. Good job!

Have you read The Washing of the Spears by Donald R. Morris? Some say it's the definitive book on the Anglo Zulu War. Worth a look if you haven't.

Hi Nap,
Thank you mate, well I can't find time to paint, just finding enough time to get these moving along.

Hi Anthony,
It certainly wasn't and cost the British Goverment over £5.4 million pounds to do it and countless lives. If the Zulu's had not been so regimented and fought more of a guerila war using their knowledge of the land it might have been a totally different war.

Hi Rick,
Thank you, I need to make a big push to get the others finished and in moulds. I have never read the washing of spears. Although ground breaking and inspirational in it's day, there are now better update versions with a lot of the errors rectified and new insights as more evidendence and first hand accounts have come to light. Usuthu!

They look like older guys and they're a married ibutho, so they must be Uthulwana or Indlondlo?
