Haitian Revolution - French Artillery



More of Trent Miniatures great French Revolutionary range. 
These were painted early last month, but I've only just had the chance to take the photos 
and post them.
Although they're painted up as French guns they can be used for the rebellious armies of Toussaint L'Ouverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines.


 Trent Miniatures - French Gribeauval Howitzer and artillerymen


French Gribeauval 8 pdr


French Gribeauval 4 pdr


The last gun is a French 6 pounder and comes from Warbases, Its a MDF carriage. I think
I'm correct in saying the Napoleonics range was made in line with the release of Sharp Practice 2?


The Limber is also from Warbases


While the horses are from Essex minis



The cannonballs are from Britannia figures available from Andy at Grubby Tanks.

  1. Well done. That works that the figures are a bit multi-purpose so you can paint and use them to fit your needs.

  6. Lovely work Ray, and I was wondering where you picked up the cannonballs. It's been a while since I ordered from Grubby Tanks, but I remember Andy provides a great service.

  7. Nice work Ray - nice to see the Warbases artillery piece - I have toyed with the idea of purchasing these on several occasions, given the relative affordability compared with metal equivalents - I just wish they would expand their range a bit to include a few other nations!
