The British defenders enlist bovine recruits…

The Horns of the Buffalo collectors set includes the Rorke's Drift! boxed set, and builds on it with even more Anglo-Zulu War goodies! In addition to more barricades and walls, we also include broken-down walls to represent the second Kraal. Also included is one of the key features of the defence of Rorke's Drift – the mealie-bag redoubt!
Second rank, fire!

Plastic Bell tents and wooden fencing lends more weight to this being a military encampment. For added flavor of a working settlement, we have several metal animals in this set – six African cattle, a dead metal horse and, of course, a dog (Pip the Terrier).

What kind of Rorke's Drift set would this be without the characters from the 1964 film Zulu? We've included metal representations of the actors portraying Bromhead, Chard, Bourne and Hook.
Characters from the film, Zulu

There are even more resin additions to the camp – we have the cookhouse and its ovens, as well as the WC outhouse. Cap this off with a metal water cart and wooden Boer wagon, and you have everything you need bar the African sun and the chants of the impis!
Usuthu!

This absolutely amazing set can be yours for £275.00 GBP. This saves you £88.00 GBP on buying the components separately!

Due to the sheer amount of awesomeness crammed into these large sets of Anglo-Zulu War goodness, the weight makes shipping them out very pricey for us. So, we've had to increase the shipping costs to customers outside of the U.K. – select the relevant option in the drop-down menu in the webstore.

IIRC Warlord Games is run by Paul Sawyer and other GW vets so the Praetorian/Battle of Orks Drift link is pretty clear. No doubt some of them have dreamed of this for years.

It's not my cup of tea but I'm sure there are fans here.

Hah, sweet. "The bloody bastards are taunting us!"

Is it possible to get the film characters by themselves?

I'd imagine so since they're made by Empress Miniatures

That is fantastic...

Is the terrain sold separate?

In case folks didn't know, Rorke's Drift was the actual name of the event in 1879 (not a made up name by a previous lot of GW veterans).

Just throwing that out for anybody who might never have seen Zulu!
