It's always depressing to come off a Memorial Day Weekend with just a "normal" weekend to look forward to – so we thought we'd spice things up for you.

We're VERY happy to say that our 28mm hard plastic Zulus are NOW AVAILABLE (at least as loose sprues). We're waiting on painted figures to finish the packaging – and the full sets will be out in June – but we were so excited with these (and had such a great response to our Numidian sprues) that we wanted to make them available to you ASAP!

There are two unique sprues.

Zulu Warriors Sprue 1 features 5 bodies (in stripped down active fighting poses) with 18 arms for maximum customization – this sprue sells for $4. USD

Zulu Warriors Sprue 2 has all the "stuff" to completely outfit these bodies including:

6 shields – 2 with throwing spears attached
2 Induna heads
6 unmarried warrior heads
6 married warrior heads
5 assegais
5 throwing spears
2 knobkerries
1 musket
1 Martini-Henry Rifle
1 arm holding a musket
1 arm holding a Martini-Henry
1 set of both arms firing the Martini-Henry (very awkwardly! – watch out for that recoil!)
1 powder horn on a strap (put this on BEFORE the head!)
Sprue #2 is only $2!

They're both available in our webstore right now:
wargamesfactory.com/webstore

We'll have some painted pics up soon! And stay tuned for the big set in stores in June!

All the best,
Tony and the Wargames Factory Team

Okay – I know I'm biased, but all I can keep saying here is "I can see the TOENAILS!!!"

Okay, done being excited…for now. Hmmm…what's that test sprue over there???

Great job, Tony!

Whoa, what's with the faces? Don't like those heads.

Excellent! Posting my order this weekend!

Maybe it's just me, but WF plastics don't seem to look that good. Is it the casting, the fact that they are designed by computer rather than sculpted…? I don't know.

Does anyone sell the Wargames Factory sprues as singles in Europe/UK? I'd like to sample the Zulus and Numidians and would rather not pay $11 USD for the shipping.

They look great! I can't wait until these internships are over. Hell I probably won't.

Skeptic30 May 2009 10:13 a.m. PST

They would have some potential for conversions for other places and times, too …

Rhoderic – Caliver may well have them. The had Zombie sprues when they were at Carronade.
