These seem to have been on the paint table for such a long time but finally they make an appearance, just in time for the latest campaign outing. I knew there was a reason why I was running it.
They represent troops of the Guyane Regiment garrisoned in Saint Domingue from 1790 - 1792
To separate the Royalists from the Revolutionary French, I gave them the round hats I could always paint in a tricolour cockade if they switch sides later in the war.
I wanted these to have a far more "lived" in feel to them, perhaps out in the mountains for several days or those who have been garrisoned on the island just a little to long.
The figures were from Trent Miniatures again originally from the Polish packs but with colonial cavalry heads added in.
This is the supporting plate. Its the gentleman in the background on the far left who seems to be far less formal.
Next up more early French, I have a hankering to paint up Pondichery Regiment on the right....
