Generic Northern Nguni musket-armed warriors (13 figs)

Suitable as Zulus and Ndebele (Matabele).

We’ve designed these figures to be widely usable as generic C19th Africans, in the sense that they are not sporting any notable tribal distinctions. Amongst other things they are entirely suitable for amaZulu and amaNdebele [Matabele] armies, across a wide date range from the 1830s to the 1890s. Also ideal for the ‘Grand Army of Natal’, raised in 1838 by the English traders at Port Natal (Durban,) which consisted mainly of Northern Nguni locals, a good many of whom had been supplied by the traders with muskets. The army soon came to serious grief at the hands of King Dingane’s Zulu amabutho (regiments).

The figures are cast in high-quality pewter 28mm and are supplied unpainted.
