AHPC11 - Haitian Revolution Generals


For my next entry into the Challenge I've gone back to Napoleonics. The Haitian Revolution to be precise! 


The English General on the right is from Trent Miniatures.


While the Haitian General is from Front Rank. Apart from his head!


The figures is actually a French Officer/General, I can't find him on their site? 
I chopped off his head in true French style and replaced it with  a Trent Minis head to represent a black officer, either fighting for or against the French.


I painted the English General up with green cuffs, I'm not 100% decided if he's from the 39th Foot of 69th, who were both pretty unhappy to be sent to Saint Domingo at the time.


These fine looking fellows will add 20 points to my total!

  1. You chopped off his head?
    Nice job. Together they look like they are about to bump fists.

  2. That well known Nopoleonic conflic, the Haitian revolution !
    Great air of figures, even if a bit of a brutal conversion was involved, lovely brushwork and I doubt anyone will query the colour choices.

    So the French Revolution was just a conversion project that got out of hand... who would have thought....😁

    1. Now here lies the problem? Originally I was going to uses Rebels & Patriots, then thought about Sharpe Practice, but am now looking at a small set given to me by Steve at Arcane Miniatures.

    1. They were, most of the European armies died from disease rather than battle!
