AHPC 13 - Haitian Revolution - Jesuit Priests


Originally posted on the Challenge blog back on the 18th March.

Its back to the sunny climbs of Santo Domingo or Saint-Domingue as the French used to call it for this post. I did plan on painting more Haitian Revolution figures during the Challenge but ran out of time.
I've actually got around 60 figures all base-coated and ready to go from AHPC 11!!


When I first started my Haitian adventure, I emailed Stuart from Dust, Tears & Dice blog, for some advice, he'd been painting up Trent minis for Haiti, which is where I got the idea from.
He told me to get the above book, as its a great starter for the period.
How right he was.
 

Early in the book it mentions several Jesuit Priests, that were trying to convert islanders to the Catholic faith, who unfortunately came to a very sticky end. So I thought I'd paint some up, they could be used for the basis of a game.


The figures are from Redoubt Enterprises, I didn't really need two of each figure, but what the hell, when in Rome!!!
As you can see they weren't  very difficult to paint up, which was good for me!

6 x 25mm figuges @ 5 points each

  2. Simple sculpts, but they look great all done and dusted. Probably be good for all sorts of games.
