AHPCX - Haitian Revolution - Rebel Slaves

What's this I hear you say?

A new period for Ray?

And Its nothing to do with Donnybrook or Beneath the Lily Banners?
This was first posted on the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge on 12th March.
I've been off work for a week now, with this mental virus all over the place, one positive, its great for the hobby, it means more figures painted, but I have to pay for this free time. This morning I was helping my daughter Nieve with he Romeo & Juliet work, groooooooooooan!

Its all Stuart and his blogs fault. 

For the last few years on his blog Dust, Tears & Dice, Stuart has been

painting up and gaming the Haitian Revolution 1791-1804. I was thinking of a new period

and seeing all his excellent painted figures and all the info on the period got my Wargaming juices flowing!

There's only 1 company selling 25mm figures for the period and that's Trent Miniatures

So Father Christmas was told Trent minis are on my wish list last Christmas.

And he, (well Mrs R and my daughters) bought me a stack of figures!

These are the first results 4 units of 12 Rebel Slaves armed with muskets.

All based up on 25mm round bases, also included (not sure of points) are multi bases, enough

for the 48 painted figures.

I also have been collecting Fish Tank plants, for scenery and such, I cut a few into 

pieces and drilled and glued them in place. I think they work rather well?

So my first post on my first new period in a few years should gave me

245 points for the figures and for the bases??

I'm planning on using Rebels and Patriots for the rules.
