Here come the Spanish - Spanish Colonial Troops in Haiti

Just a short post more for reference than anything else.
With the Spanish being one of the more aggressive factions I need to move them up the painting queue to bolster their forces before their second engagement next week.

Trent Miniatures have produced a small selection of Spanish troops but finding additional reference was proving rather hard, I came across these useful uniform guides whilst trawling the web.

The first troops should be leaving the paint table this weekend.



If anyone can give me any further pointers please let me know.

  1. Hi -- Trent has Spanish troops but unfortunately no command pack yet. Do us a favor and contact Steve at Arcane and ask him to bug Duncan about this. The command pack is the last figs I need for Haiti.

    There is a section over on the Fife and Drum forum, about Spanish figures.

    Happy gaming,

  6. @Willz -- thanks for the link to Qart Hadasht! I'd never heard of them. Their figures are very nice. Any idea how they match up with Trent? I already have Spanish infantry from Trent; I need a command pack.

    1. Schogun I have ordered a couple of packs, so I guess we will see in a week or so, I have been using Front Rank for some officers and they seem to be a good fit.

    2. Thanks. I sent a message to Qart Hadasht asking about size comparison but no response yet.

      I also asked for confirmation that the command pack(s) of 6 figures contain 2x Officers, 2x Standard Bearers and 2x Drummers.

    3. Lets see when they arrive in the post, I will do a comparison posting.

  7. Schogun asked about size comparison, sadly I can not help you as I have none of these figures.

  8. Hiya. Have your QH minis arrived yet please? I'm interested in hearing what they look like in the 'flesh', size comparison, quality etc. You can choose English on the website and once you've clicked into a pack it usually says 6 figs in 6 different poses even the command packs. Cheers, Chris (a Trent Miniatures fan)

  9. I'm guessing tho that a command pack may be 2 each officer, standard bearer and drummer :-)
