Zulu War Recruits for Blood and Steel

 I absolutely haunt eBay waiting for Minifigs 25mm Zulu War figures.  They are  expensive these days, but I'm in too deep to go plastic.  In any event they have "character" that I really like.

I recently added recruits to my Zulu Warbands and the Queen's Own.

Nine foot figures and a mounted lancer for the Redcoats.
Eleven more figures for my Zulu.  I added a couple of tiny Hinton Hunt to go with them.  I don't mind the fact that most of the Zulu are musket armed. That agrees with my reading.

I've been working on "dead ground". The area between these "brackets" counts as a dip in the terrain.  After the first turn my eyes just accept it!

A sheet of artificial grass, the cheapest I could source from Jumbo's in Cyprus.

Turn it over and snip off the individual clumps

The end result.  African bush grass.
