As part of my Zulu Wars project I started listing all the suppliers who produce 28mm ranges for this period. Goldeneye Wii Pal Rapidshare. I am sure that this has been done before somewhere else (but I couldn't find it) and if any ranges are missing please let me know. In no particular order here are the manufacturers and a short summary of what they produce Rapier Miniatures Looks like an interesting range but have not been able to comment on quality, size etc Empress Miniatures Probably the most exhaustive of all the suppliers out there.

Now, I am notoriously useless at looking at wargames rules and. The anniversary of the beginning of the Zulu War in 1879 falls on. Zulu: Saul David; The Zulu War.

Those that I have seen look great AW Miniatures ] Interesting range but again not seen any figures to comment. I do have some of their SYW range and they are excellent. Edit: I have now bought some of their Lancers (considerably cheaper than Empress) - these are on the large size compared to Warlord Redoubt Enterprises Cant really comment on this range but have heard good and bad things. I'll be visiting their stand at colours in Newbury this September so will have a better perspective then. Wargames Foundry Can't forget these guys. Really nice figures but pricy.
