When Stephen offered me a bunch of Zulu and British figures a while back, I quickly said "Yes!". I don't have any rules for them and no matching terrain, but Zulus!
I got them shortly after I moved to Windsor, but they've been on ice for a while. But now that my hobby space is a little more organized and I got a bunch of hobby-related items, I decided it was time to crack on with them.
I've also decided to change my style up so that I can finish these a bit quicker. I'm going to try the slap-chop method of speed painting. To that end, I got rid of flashing and mold lines and glued them to stir sticks.
That's where we are right now. 296-ish Zulus and their shields.
The next steps are:
- Rattle can black primer all over.
- Rattle can red-brown primer just from the top.
- Dry brush off-white on the high spots.
Have you looked at Men Who Would Be Kings? I like all of Dan Mersey's rules. I have a pile of Zulus and British, myself, that I've been meaning to try out the rules with...
ReplyDeleteMy partner, Amanda, is from Windsor, originally.
I've played it a few times at various conventions. They are a solid set of rules, but I might just have a go at writing my own.
DeleteI'm part way through step 3 with mixed results. I'll post something about it when I am done. It is certainly quicker than my normal process.
I'm enjoying life in Windsor. Nothing is more than 15 minutes away and there's a decently active gaming community here.
