Haitian Revolution - Haitian Infantry



More from Haiti or Saint Domingue as the French used to call it.
The figures are from Trent Miniatures as per usual with this project.


I bought 3 packs of CAR10 from Arcane Scenery & Models or rather my daughters did!


I've not put these chaps in units yet as I'm still unsure of which rules I'll be using.


I've kept them fairly generic so they can be used fighting against the French
or with them.
You can also see a glimpse of some of the jungle terrain I've been making in the background.
More on that at a later date.

  2. Stunning figures, Ray! Wonderful contrast between the skin color and European uniforms. I have to take a closer look at Trent.

    1. They do make done unusual figures, which is what's great about the company.

  4. Terrific work Ray. The old familiar French-blue looks great on these Haitian figures.

  7. Great work Ray and you are right, Trent seem to be the go to range for this theatre of operations - mind you, why wouldn't they be, when the figures are made specifically for the Haitian slave revolt! I assume you are aware of Stu over at Dust Tears and Dice who has a similar project with the same figures?

    1. Yes, I email Stu when I bought the figures, he was kind enough to pass over loads of much needed info on the period.

  8. Looking good, I always admired Duncan for starting these 'obscure' wars and this in particular is fascinating- looking forward how you take this forward

    1. Absolutely, most of the Trent minis range are pretty niche. I dont know any other company making figures for the early French Revolution period in Haiti, Ireland and the Alps?

  10. Great buch of figures and clever use of 'almost' uniformity eabling them to be used for both sides!
