Last Stand,Stand!

I had some figures left over from my mammoth painting of Zulus and British,so decided to create a "Last Stand" base(or stand!).................

 Poor souls-I hope they don't get attacked!!

Oh,oh, spoke too soon!!

I also painted some "Extras" as Natal Carbineers..................

Here they are,c/w officer!!

Avery merry Christmas,and a Great New Year to you all-thanks for reading the blog and giving comments.

Zulus-thousands of 'em!!

Over the past few weeks I've been "feverishly" painting hundreds of  15mm British and Zulu figures supplied by Lancashire Games .The figures are very nice,if a bit "wobbly" at the ankles,with good animation and as much detail as you would want-The company is run by Alan Lumley,and a more pleasant chap you couldn't wish to meet.-check them out!

Both sides at an early painting stage-I was knocking them out in batches of 30 figures,plus any guns/gunners and NNC that happened to pass my way!!

Nearly finished-based,and awaiting flock.

Finished units put on my "solo" board-the terrain pieces are from Robbie Roddis,which I bought from him at Stockton-he,of course, charged me way over the top for them,but I'm always willing to help out a fellow wargamer who has fallen on hard times-a food parcel is on its way as we type!!

The aforesaid terrain pieces-Robbie claims to have made them himself,but they look too good for him to have done so!!

I just had to have a game using my "world famous" red pom-pom rules(which worked exceedingly well!)

Top-command group,bottom-pressure!!!

Looks like Chard ,or Bromhead, is in a spot of bother-spit boy spit!!!

The last move of a vey exciting game-the Zulus were actually beaten-now there's a surprise!! I can see many more games with these figures,featuring forts,barricades etc. etc.
