Love these new additions to your collection Rich, in particular the Natal Mounted Police are most interesting. The British Forces in Zululand were incredibly diverse which makes putting together their forces and painting them up extremely enjoyable.
The Zulus on the other hand are extremely alike. Obviously the different impi had their own shield colours but as most of them removed their wonderful displays of feathers and cowtails on their way to battle the only other distinction is the head ring of married regiments. It all makes for tremendous stamina being required when putting together a considerable Zulu Army which is of course, necessary to stand any chance whatsoever against Chelmsford’s redcoats.
