AHPC X - Haitian Revolution - Cuban Chassuers

Bet you weren't expecting these after reading the title???

"These units were used primarily to hunt run away slaves but the Spanish used them against Native Indians. The British hired some to fight against the Maroon Revolt in Jamaica. The French also tried using these dogs in Battle in St. Domingue."

Taken from Arcane Scenery and Models

These were another part of my Christmas pressie for Mrs R and the kids.

They should be an interesting unit to use on the tabletop!

You can also buy purpose made bases to fit the figures in for ease of movement.

Not sure on the points for these??

20 for the men

16 for the woofers

AHPC X - Awdry's Atoll - Its a Jungle out there.....

With my new period the Haitian Revolution finally getting some figures painted, I thought it'd be

a good idea to get some jungle terrain made up for Saint Domingue.

How could I refuse Sir Michael plea on Awdry's Atoll???

"For me the challenge, and laterally the bonus rounds was always about having fun, often scratching a creative itch. Weaving a narrative through an idea was always the goal and in order to best compose these frivolities I would often start with a blank CD or DVD. Given the geographical alliteration, Awdry's Atoll, I am proposing as my challenge a Desert Island Disc! I would like to see all manner of creativeness, command stands or even terrain pieces that start life with the humble CD or DVD. (If proving difficult to obtain then any circular basing material of a 120mm diameter will suffice.)"

I've been collecting palm trees and fish tank plants for a few months now. These were glued down onto 2 DVD dics, SAW II and House of Wax if you really want to know? Then based with fine sand with a few stones thrown in for good measure!

So the only real painting done was on the base.

I did add a few grass tufts as well.
Capt Kidd is only in the photos for scale, so no more points for him.

So there we have it 2 DVD disc jungle bases
30 points for the Challenge round and whatever the generous Minion on the day
 would like to give me???

AHPCX - Haitian Rebels - Hand Weapons

Week 2 of Isolation and I can share another unit I painted up earlier this month Challenge. I'm off to work today for a few hours so a little break from the routine. I have been painting but nothing's finished yet, anyway on with the post!

Another unit of Trent Minis, Haitian Slaves Rebelling.

These Rebels are armed with hand weapons, hopefully I'll be painting up another few units of these.

They very diverse figures, there are only 3 different figure types here but

they come with spare heads and arms.

So you can make them look slightly different.

I did chop 1 head off and gave him a stolen bicorne.

So that's another 12 figures to add to the pile.

12 x 5 = 60 pts
