Box of Shame #3 - Anglo Zulu War British

Lurking away, in my masses of stuff, is a Zulu force from where we had a go at Rorkes Drift about 5 years ago. Now, for that I produced a bunch of  Zulu which have been sat in a box at the back of the eaves ever since (more on those to follow).

BUT, in my box of shame, I did have a whole load of British chaps sitting there for a good couple of years now, which I bought a couple of years later when mulling over what to do with said Zulu.

Whilst looking through the boxes hidden from my wife, I decided to have a go at them and heres the results.

Mostly multi based, but I've placed 18 on single bases to be able to play some skirmish based games, even possibly solo Men Who Would Be Kings in these distant times.

Of course, having done this, I went and bought another box and couple of things. Thats the law.

Box of Shame #2 - Mahdist Wars Ansar

Some productive time spent on getting some serious infantry work under my (ever expanding, thanks Lockdown!) belt. 

First up - Ansar. Very simple really, and had been a fair bit of the stuff I've had kicking around for an age. More or less there with these, with some cavalry and assorted bits left, but that won't take too long

Heres my Beja which I finished around 18 months ago and have taken the field once before:

Here it is all together and ready to go:

Wargaming in Film #3: Jason King, Wargamer

HUSSAR!

Hussars. Leaving that image rolling around for a moment, as who doesn't love Hussars?

When I'm on the bike (custom Condor special - photographed here,) I consider myself a Hussar of the London roads, mainly as I'm risking life and limb when out there..............

The Guard Dies But Does Not Surrender!

Hard man words, Sir, truly hard man words.

Old Guard, French Imperial Guard, Grognards. Double hard bastards.

Nice and quick to paint, thankfully. Only had them in the grey plastic for about five years as well.........still need to do the banners though

On to Middle and Young!

ACW - Confederate Skirmishers

For a break, heres some ACW skirmish units. As ever, Confederates are simplicity themselves to produce en masse, so painted these as a bit of a break.

These here below plus the ones I already had makes it 30 skirmishers now, so its possible to play some Rebels and Patriots or similar, I reckon. Not far off finishing my ACW altogether now as well!
