Warlord Games - 28mm Married Zulu Regiment

Box Art
 The Zulu army was a formidable foe. Well-trained, well-led, and well-equipped for campaigns, the Zulu regiments were the terror of Africa. Created by the great Shaka, founder of the nation, each regiment was composed of small companies who trained together, and a regiment could be 1,000 men strong.

They were then brigaded together to form divisions that could move at great speed and with drilled precision, forming the classic Zulu attack formation of the Horns of the Buffalo.


The military system formed units into married and unmarried units, so a cadre of young men would be forced to remain unmarried on the King's orders until they had 'washed their spears' in the blood of their enemies.

They are armed with throwing spears, smoothbore muskets and the deadly stabbing short spear whilst their patterned ox-hide shields help identify their parent regiment.

Figure Frame
Once they were blooded, and only then, would they sew in the characteristic head ring which is the symbol of a mature and married warrior, showing his much enhanced status in society.

Each boxed set contains 8 frames, each containing enough parts to make up 4 figures., each figure is armed with a shield and a variety of weapons ranging from Assagis, Knobkerrys, rifles or throwing spear. Each frame also has 7 heads to add variety to the figures.

The leader of the regiment is a metal figure that is supplied with the boxed set.

Warlord Games

Warlord Games are currently the 'biggest' of hard plastics manufacturers, with a wide range of boxed set available, all backed-up with metal figures to provide specialist troops and highlights to your plastics armies.

Additionally, Warlord Games, make extensive use of metal 'add on' parts t their basic plastic sets to enable a much wider range of units to be represented.

Based in Nottingham, UK - the company was created in 2007 and is run by John Stallard (ex Games Workshop and author of Warhammer ECW Rules ) and Paul Sawyer (ex Games Workshop and best known as the former editor of White Dwarf).

Another Wargames notable linked to the company are Rick Priestley (again ex Games Workshop and author of Warhammer, Warmaster and many other games systems).

Wargames Factory

Wargames Factory Figures are now available via Warlord Games, where the sets have been re-boxed and re-branded accordingly

Wargames Factory is the first American company to appear on this site, it is also unique in that it uses computer assisted design techniques to sculpt and produce their offerings, which are manufactured in China.

Wargames Factory boxed sets are typically rich in parts - allowing many variations of pose to be achieved - yet to many people,  the quality of their figures is best described as OK not great.

That said, I think that the company has been the first to say that they have been going through a learning curve, their more recent output is of a much better quality than some of their earlier offerings. Their production techniques has meant that they have been able to get a lot of product to market in a relatively short period of time.
