Just for something different I painted some Zulu warriors for my buddy Luke or IRO over in Victoria (just down the road really). He is doing an awesome Rorke’s Drift project which I have been keenly watching and needed some extra hands to help with his hordes of Zulu warriors. Not sure which company made these (Warlord?) but it made a great change to work on something in a larger scale and also a totally different subject. Gave me a break from olive drab, dark yellow and German camouflage! The trickiest bit was painting dark human skin and took me a few attempts to get my strategy right. This is certainly making it harder to resist branching out into other periods and scales……….










Great work on these. I always finding shading dark skin very difficult and you have nailed it. Shaka IRO should be well pleased with these reinforcements!

Thank you again Colonel. You really did do a fantastic job. Yes they are warlord minis. Warlords range is extensive across all periods.
