The Sun Never Sets - Zulu!

 I have finally gotten around to taking a few pictures of the Zulu. It should be noted that the Zulu are the oldest figure designs in the "The Sun Never Sets" collection. These were originally sculpted back in the late 1980's for a giant Isandlwana game. But, for good or bad, my sculpting style hasn't changed that much over the years, so they will still fit right in.




inGobamakhosi - The "Humblers of Kings" were part of the left horn as Isandlwana where they were engaged with Durnford's command.




iNdlondlo - "Horned Vipers" were part of the Loins at Isandlwana, so did not see much action. Some of the regiment did participate in the battle of Rorke's Drift though.


isAngqu - The "White Tails" were part of the chest at Isandlwana, so they saw a good amount of action.



uMbonambi - The "Seers of Evil" were part of the left horn as Isandlwana and helped to cut off the path of retreat for the British.



umKhulutshane - The "Straight Line" were in the chest at Isandlwana against the companies commanded by Younghusband, Mostyn and Cavaye.


These  Zulu are stripped of much of their regalia for fighting.



Induna -  These are the leaders of the Zulu Army.
