Saint Domingue/Haiti - Rebels with hand-weapons



I already have one unit of Saint Domingue/Haitian Rebels with hand weapons,

but I wanted another!!!!

I picked up a pack of Trent minis a few years ago from Col Bill's when I was just thinking about doing this period. (Yeh Right?) Those figures are included in this unit. Most of the back rank and the chap on the far left front row are the first hand weapons pack Trent released, either holding axes of lumps of wood, which are perfect. Trent remodelled this pack of figures with the ones below, see an earlier blog post here, but I wanted more variety.




So a quick search on ebay and I purchased a few mixed figures from the Foundry Pirate range. 
Three headswaps, farm implements added and a dash of brown paint later and we have another 5 very individual figures. I've a few figures left, I may well make these into artillerymen for the rebel army!


I think they mix in quite well!

  1. Nice work, Ray! When do you expect to have enough for a game or two? This conflict intrigues me and I know nothing about it.

    1. I've got enough for a game now. But am now unsure of what rules I'm going to use?

  7. Really nice work on these revolting slaves Ray (or maybe rebellious would be a more PC adjective to use nowadays.....)

  8. It's great imo that you have used other ranges to mix in with these chaps, they mix well, as you say and the variety adds to the overall look of the game too.
    Well done on the earthy colours for this group (and the other rebels you've done too).

    1. Thanks Joe, they do fit in quite well. I'm well up for mixing ranges as long as they close in size, like these.
