The Silver Bayonet - The return of Claude Canard

Having travelled from Egypt to Haiti - Claude Canard of the French Sloop "Le Vendeen" makes a welcome return to fight against the evil rising from the land.


The great thing about these rules is they compliment many of my various odd collections, I have pretty much enough to pull together several factions for the Silver Bayonet and the fantastic beasts lined up against them.


With the Silver Bayonet Claude has 100 points to spend within his faction with no more than 7 characters.


Whilst I may need a few extra pieces for the more unique characters but at this stage I opted for his trusty side kick Ensign Cotelettes de Mouton (2nd Lieut), Novice Marie Bonte (Doctor) together with 2 Grenadiers, 2 Soldiers and a Sailor backed up with a Blunderbuss.

Let's see how they get on with the first solo encounter from the rule book - 'Wolf Pack'.

  1. Looking forward to seeing the results. From other posts I've read, the critters can be a real handfull if they get close.

  2. Very nice work Stuart, the figures are very tempting??? I was just saying on my blog, wouldn't it be great if they released a Haitian faction?

    1. It would Ray, even if it gives us more figures the Haiti proper.

    1. Feels like some light touch evening gaming.... Got plans for a RJW variant as those have not been on the table for a while and a tweak here and there gives me a chance to dust off numerous collections ;-)

  4. Lovely stuff! If you don’t mind me asking, where is the novice sister figure from? I’m after something similar, but all my googling seems to only find nuns with guns or slightly salacious minis...
