Haitian Revolution/St Domingue Revolt - Gentlemen of the town.

 


I painted these fine looking fellows up for my game that the Rejects put on at Broadside back in June.
The Battle of Croix-du-Bouquets 1792, set in St Domingue, what it now Haiti.


I wanted to add some civilians to add a bit of scenery in the town .


The 4 figures are all from Front Rank, now owned by those luvvly chaps at Gripping Beast.


They could also perhaps be a Plantation Owner of even the Governor of the territory,
in future games. I kept my pallet a little subdued, all blue's browns and greys.
They have a slightly darker skin tone from normal, probably from too much sitting in he sun by the pool, with a cocktail in hand???

I will hopefully have their better halves appearing soon?

  3. Wonderful paintjobs on some very nice (and smooth-looking) sculpts. They look like they were a lot of fun to paint.

  4. Great job! They look suitably haughty and scornful.
