Haitian/St Domingue Revolution - Free Mulattoes

 


I should have sorted my game out for Broadside before the painting Challenge, but I never make things easy for myself. So after sorting out the terrain, (more on that later) I needed a few more figures painted up!


Here we have 2 units of 12 figures representing the Mulatto townsfolk of Croix-du-Bouquets


Nobody makes any Mulatto figures with muskets, so I had to de a bit of improvising.


The figures are a mixture of  Wargames Foundry Pirates Packs CU33 Kristos Raiders and CU34
Yellowboys Renegades


And some figures from several packs of Casting Room Miniatures Rebels & Rebels, Rioters or Civilians


My favorite figure is the chap waving the bicorne, who I'll be using as a standard bearer, he is actually from.Eureka Miniatures Paris Mob pack!

  2. We rarely make things easy on ourselves, do we? For Mulattoes, did you consider pulling Cuban Rebels from Old Glory’s SAW range? I think many would work.

  7. Lovely toys Ray…
    As we all know… It’s not a proper demo game unless it smells of fresh varnish .

    All the best. Aly

  9. Splendid posting, Ray. They all look splendid, and the irregular movement trays you've got them in work very well too. Lovely figures, well painted and colourful for the tabletop.
