I love the new releases..... especially they continued the evacuation of the hospital theme and also we get a better idea of how to build the kraal..

My apologies to Britfarmer for reproducing the images but I thought it would be easier to navigate than using the generic britains zulu folder which I think should be retired due to its size....

 

[zulucollector]

A couple of more new releases....

 

[zulucollector]

I hear that the catalogue will show a map of how to build the kraal. It will identify each of the pieces by product number including tactical and modelzone exclusives. So I guess in total there is 4 hand to hand sets.

I applaud britains for supplying a roadmap and hopefully a picture too.... Can't wait for the catalogue!

Here is the roadmap for the Kraal for those who are interested....


You will need 3 of the tactical sets plus all 4 of the hand to hand sets...

Hmmm something not right. One of the sets is listed as set#8 yet that diagram shows only 7 sets are required and one of those is a double.

By jove I think they have got it,{sm3}, cheers, Robin.

Good point ... I think there are 8 hand to hand sets in total for rorke drift and 4 are allocated to the kraal. I am guessing the original 1-4 including modelzone "cold steel" and 5-8 for the kraal including the 1 announced and one already released modelzone sets. I think there are 7 sets to complete the kraal but only 4 are actually hand to hand with the remainder being the tactical sets

Getting off topic...I would not be surprised if they start doing hand to hand sets for Isandlwana next

Might a good time to release the battle boards for the hospital & storehouse. Saw a in 2010 they did a limited release (10?) for the board under the hospital and stated a further one would follow, which I do not think happened. Now the diorama is reaching completion, the boards would be in their element, small job for Ken{sm4}, cheers, Robin.

Yes understandable, it was made with gold leaf. Just had a terrible thought, I missed out on Replused exclusive and will therefore have a gap in my stone wall for the Zulu or cattle to go thru. Do I pay 200 pounds currently on Ebay and shore up the hole, nah I will jam it with biscuit boxes or mealie bags, that will stir up the Zulu purists. ^&grin, cheers, Robin.

the zulu purists are already getting restless with such words

My Zulu collection is becoming my favourite toy soldier theme. Keep them coming. Chris.

Looking at the release dates on the wbritains website and modelzone it looks like should have a complete kraal by July assuming no delays. The tactical pieces are listed in May and the remaining hand to hand sets are listed for release in June and July respectively. Is it just me, or since the 2013 product announcements there has been exactly no real news on this board outside of the civil war series? I am guessing the roarke drift hospital on fire based on ebay is now out?

Hi - hospital with burned out roof is indeed here. Just received 16 new Zulu sculpts from Alan Ball this afternoon. Another push into Isandlwana...and a few for Rorke's too, unlike anything you have seen before, coming for the June catalog.
I am an old Sword and Flame gamer with thousands of Minifigs and Ral Partha 25's, nice to see some of these come to life again in a larger scale.

Hang in there,
Richard

Thanks Richard, that makes the old pulse race, although not sure a good thing at my age,{sm2}, Robin.

All in all, it's just another hole in the Kraal. ----- I missed that set too. I'll have to get another of the wall sections sets to plug the gap.
