WARLORD: Rorke’s Drift Boxed Set and Zulu Madness!
We love a virtuoso idea, taken from fever-dream inception all the way to the shelves…
I’m from Texas, and I understand the love and romantisism of the heroic last stand. We have the Alamo here, and the UK has the Zulu Wars. When Warlord Games sent us not one but two sprues labeled:
MARRIED ZULUS
UNMARIED ZULUS
We thought “what’s the difference”, then studied the sprues for 5 minutes. THEN I said, “Hey, these guys are up to something…”

So imagine my excited glee when I saw this baby wheeled out before the crowds:
