Lamming additions

An update on recent new Lamming Roman and Britons acquisitions.

As mentioned in a previous post I had been looking for some British chariots. Once I had found two (from a slightly unexpected eBay source) I had a hankering for Boudicca's chariot. A while later I picked up another four, including Boudicca (that's her on the left). I think I need to add reins to finish these off. I think six is enough now.

I'd also had a successful appeal a while ago for some Eastern archers and thought I had enough but when these turned up I couldn't avoid picking them up. Already painted, they only needed rebasing

They came with these Garrison Roman Archers, which are very compatible and add variety with a different pose - a very welcome addition.

I also picked up from the same seller this small group of Roman Auxiliaries, again very welcome.

Finally these Ancient Britons had been painted for a long time, they just needed the addition of wire spears. I am not sure how historical the horned helmets are (I know they are now thought not appropriate for Vikings, but I don't know about earlier Ancient Britons).

 So I don't have any remaining gaps in these forces, with loads of Roman and Celtic cavalry. Of course something interesting might still crop up...

Napoleonic Units: Garrison French Light Cavalry

I've had these figures for a long time and finally have got round to painting them, as a break from working through all my unpainted S Range Napoleonic cavalry. These are the old Garrison figures, here painted as the Baden Hussars and the 10e Chasseurs a Cheval.

They are really nice figures and I'm pleased to have finally done them.

Wargames Holiday Centre: Garrison French Infantry Units

Mike Ingham of the Wargames Holiday Centre in Scarborough has been in touch with photographs of some of the original WHC units used by Peter Gilder, before they were replaced by Hinchliffe and Connoissuer figures.

I have posted the Hinton Hunt units on the Hinton Hunter blog. Here are two rather pretty French units - the 2nd Grenadiers of the Old Guard , and a line infantry unit, which also includes Hinton Hunt command figures.

Thanks to Will for these figures
