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.
Got a nice setup going there.
ReplyDeleteYep.
DeleteNice work Ray
ReplyDeleteCheers Neil.
DeleteThese Haitians look great, Ray!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan.
DeleteWow, lovely minis Ray, well done!
ReplyDeleteCheers Phil, they're coming in thick and fast.
DeleteStunning figures, Ray! Wonderful contrast between the skin color and European uniforms. I have to take a closer look at Trent.
ReplyDeleteThey do make done unusual figures, which is what's great about the company.
DeleteLovely looking figures and the scenery is coming along nicely!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
There should be a post about them coming along soon.
DeleteI like them. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteGlad you do OB.
DeleteTerrific work Ray. The old familiar French-blue looks great on these Haitian figures.
ReplyDeleteI'm very pleased with them.
DeleteVery nice Ray, great project.
ReplyDeleteThanks George.
DeleteLong live revolution! Down with monarchy!
ReplyDeleteVive le Haiti!
DeleteVery nice additions to the ongoing project there Ray!
ReplyDeleteThanks David, glad you like them.
DeleteSmart work on these
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul.
DeleteGreat 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?
ReplyDeleteYes, I email Stu when I bought the figures, he was kind enough to pass over loads of much needed info on the period.
DeleteLooking good, I always admired Duncan for starting these 'obscure' wars and this in particular is fascinating- looking forward how you take this forward
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, 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?
DeleteNice gift from the daughters! And cool painting 😀
ReplyDeleteThank gawd they've given up on socks and pants for Xmas and birthday presents!
DeleteGreat buch of figures and clever use of 'almost' uniformity eabling them to be used for both sides!
ReplyDeleteYep, it saves buying loads more figures!
