EPIC ISANDLWANA GAME FOR CANCON 2012

I am planning a big participation game of the epic battle of Isandlwana using 28mm figures for Cancon 2012. This will be an epic game at a scale of one figure equals twenty actual men, entirely in keeping with the scale of the original epic battle. I will need ca.1200 Zulu figures and 85 British/NNC figures. Faced with this I contacted Wargames Factory telling them about the game and that I would need 40 packets of their hard plastic 28mm Zulus. I asked WF what they could do for me. Well I must say that WF came through like champions and gave me a massive discount, so I lashed out and bought the figures. Imagine just what it will look like with 1200 Zulu figures deployed on a table and surging forward...great stuff! Below is an image of some of the Zulus from WF that I have already painted and based. They come up looking pretty good and will certainly do the job on the day. The figures below are painted as the iNdluyengwe Regiment who were at Isandlwana and Rorkes Drift.

Here is a great clip from that shows the mould making process at Reaper!

Boppo and The Ringmaster

Here are Boppo the Head Hunting clown and the Ringmaster of the Circus of Death. I made these 28mm figures several years ago as part of a never realised project by a well known miniature figure company to produce figures for a "Circus of Death". Boppo is a happy little chap who hides a grim trophy behind his back, while the Ringmaster, well he is just nasty!

The Ogre and the Monk

Here are a couple of nice figures I have had for some time. The first is a Reaper Mini, an Ogre I think. I am not sure who made the second figure. I decided that he needed to be painted and based in a "spiritual" manner hence his excessively pious demeanour! Just the thing to encourage the faithful against the heathen hordes. The crucifix was one that I had in my spares box. I knew that I'd find a use for it sometime.

URUK JUST MUCKIN' ABOUT!

54mm WW2 MINIS

Here are some of my 54mm WW2 minis. They are Toy Soldiers of San Diego figures. These are very nice figures, well detailed and realistically proportioned and animated. They paint up nicely as well.

This is a QRF 15mm scale Little Bird with my own CFM Delta along for the ride.
