28mm Boxer Rebellion British Marines

A quick one today. The last few days has seen me adopt a strategy of 'grab it and paint it'. So, anything that was kicking around in a box for a while was undercoated and went on the painting table. I managed to complete a few Saga units of Vikings and Normans (picked up about three years ago from ebay) and these Boxer Rebellion figures from Victorious Miniatures. Note: I did paint the webbing in white rather than khaki. Just a personal preference.

28mm Anglo Zulu War Figures and 4Ground Building


After being sidetracked by several part finished projects I finally got round to completing a few more of my Anglo Zulu War collection. I'd say this is now 99% done with only another 4Ground building and a handful of Zulus and Brits outstanding.

I'm blaming Wargames Illustrated for this foray into another period. I'd dropped into the WI office before Christmas with some painted buildings for them and before I left James had given me about ten plastic Zulu sprues from Warlord.

Along with the Warlord figures I managed to pick up some Empress models from the Bring and Buy at the Hammerhead show and some unpainted extras from my mate Rob. So in all it's due to folks generosity and an eye for a bargain that I've managed to collect quite a tidy army for both sides. Hopefully when this lockdown is over I'll be able to post up some pictures from our games at the club.
