Workbench and Suggestions / Zulus

I think the title says it all. I would absolutely LOVE to see the ulu Wars given the Piggy Treatment. Martin's colonial figures are full of character so I could imagine a horde of Piggy Zulus would look absolutely awesome! And probably not that many packs needed, at least for the Zulus. The British and allies might need a few, but I wonder whether any of the Sudan range would be usable?

PITS for the FFL would be a lovely extension to the rules and ranges I think. I would definitely go for these

I have a set of these now, lovely models especially when the bases are sanded away (none of my other vehicles are based, leaving these on their bases would make them look a bit odd)

FWIW I really don't like the one piece figures at all, the infil ruins what is a decent sculpt, to me they seem flat and lifeless compared with the two piece figures  which I actually find easier to paint, allow for more variety, and the few seconds it takes to glue a figure onto a horse is just not an issue). I can see why Martin wants to do them that way, and of course that is entirely up to him, but personally I think they are a retrograde step and its highly unlikely that I'll be buying any in any of the ranges or any new ranges any time soon if this is the way of the future. I'm very glad I built up my ECW armies a while back and was lucky enough to be gifted a regiment of "lobsters" by a friend that were in keeping with Martin's excellent originals. If only I could remember who made them.....
