AZW British Army

10mm AZW British Army

This is my 10mm AZW British Army, all of the figures are from the following Pendraken Miniature’s and Old Glory Miniatures other manufacturers which I intend using are Magister Militum and Steve Barber. I intend using Black Powder rules.

Under the shadow of an imminent assault, the small force of British and colonial troops at Rorke’s Drift steeled themselves for an overwhelming onslaught. The mission station served as their bastion against a Zulu force that dwarfed them in numbers. Armed with modern rifles and aided by well-organized defense lines, the soldiers fought with courage and determination, knowing that retreat was not an option. Each man stood resolute, defending not only his comrades but the honor of his regiment and nation. Against all odds, they withstood wave after wave of attacks, their endurance and discipline ultimately securing a hard-fought and historic victory. The defenders’ heroism would be celebrated as a testament to their unwavering resolve.
