(Painting) Married Zulu Full Impi by Warlord Games

The case of the 28 missing Left Zulu Arms was solved. 

Somehow, they were there all along.  

After months of delays, lack of motivation, and finally, misplacing all the left arms I had trimmed off the sprues, the unit of Warlord Zulus I purchased years ago are finally complete.

I'm not even going to get into how a box labelled "Zulus" that I've opened up a half a million times looking for arms over many months, suddenly had them there. 

I whipped these up to look like the solo Zulu figure I started painting up at a Historicon eons ago.  I needed 30 native tribesman for the "made-for-TV-movie"  that's either going to launch that long-awaited Season 4 of our "Egypt"/Pulp game, or the bittersweet finale.  

Hate to say it, I did not enjoy assembling or painting them.  In hindsight, both time and money, I would have purchased and painted up metal figures, even if I had to buy them a pack every con.  There's a good reason all my future pulp games, heck even my Samoa or Early 20th Century games seem to cap off at 20 figures max for any unit.  

Next:  Some extra terrain or characters for the City of Carf, perhaps a handful (or fistful) of gnomes, just starting the vintage mouslings/verminites, because I'm a sucker for more work.

Project 350:  A lot of new stuff complicating life, 477 (297/180) up from 468 (293/175).  Some holiday placeholders, some #CharacterCreationChallenge concepts, and of course, #InternationalGnomeWeek is June 21-27, and I have a post for each day, and am working on articles for most.
