Two more 25mm Zulu units just jumped on to the painting table to add to the 30 I already have deployed.

I'm painting up the iNdabakawombe and abaQuluusi to added to the collection.

They were probably laying in the brush waiting to ambush your paint. Wiley devils!

Wow! At TS&TF unit standards, that's 600-plus Zulus! Presuming they are all deployed at the same time, would they fight 200 British? How can your table stand so much weight? How long would this battle take to play out?

Col Durnford Supporting Member of TMP04 Jul 2025 12:42 p.m. PST

The time would clearly be greater than the weight. That said, the spectacle would be amazing.

I have about 260 painted Zulus in total (12 TS&TF units/regiments plus riflemen and leaders to top off) and I thought that was a lot!

As far as the British go:

6 units of British infantry – 120
2 mounted units (nnh/nmp/nc) 24
2 artillery pieces 8
1 rocket battery 2
4 NNC 80
Add in some Leaders, officers, and NCO

Any guess where I'm going?
