Here it is:
As you can see it is an unarmoured horse archer, quite possibly Minifigs but could be Garrison or Greenwood & Ball or maybe even Hinchcliffe.
The horse is stamped AHIII and may be a different manufacturer from the rider although it sits very well on the saddle.
Like I say I have about 40 of them, all unpainted apart from this one. I would like to be able to make up 3 or 4 small skirmish horse archer units for my Greek/Macedonian/Persian armies but will be more convincing if I can apply a race or nationality to them.
Hope someone can help!
Lamming without a doubt - probably Parthian
ReplyDeleteThanks David, see my fuller response below.
DeleteInteresting figure Jim.
ReplyDeleteI walking in Stockbridge around two weeks ago and passed the old Toy Tub shop (now florist) and was filled with a wave of nostalgia for Mr Alexander and his treasure filled shop....
Hi Alan
DeleteHope you and Jan are keeping well.
I recently bought some Old School cavalry figures from a club friend. He told me that he bought them from Archie at the Toytub. It was a great wargamers shop in its day!
Yes I agree that's a Lamming Miniature.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tony, Lamming was the most popular response, I'm surprised I never thought of it myself.
DeleteI was always looking for an answer which would allow me to use these figures with my Old School Greek/Macedonian/Persian forces. I was hoping for something like Scythian but the consensus now appears to be Parthian or possibly early Sarmatian.
I any case they will supply 3 or 4 small units of skirmishing light cavalry as either mercenary units for anyone or levy for the Persians.
Many thanks everyone.
I too will clamber aboard the Lamming bandwagon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tim, a little late to the party but welcome none the less.
DeleteSorry about lateness, confirm Lamming Parthian Horse Archer - got a unit.
ReplyDeleteThanks anyway :)
DeleteBy the way, Garrison and Greenwood and Ball are the same - Garrison being the wargames ranges produced by Greenwood and Ball.
ReplyDeleteYou are so probably right, I don't expect my grey matter will be accurate about these things. It is useful to drop as many clues as you can when trying to pry into others memories.
ReplyDeleteThankfully I have an answer to my question and I hope I can find the time to start painting them. 2015 sounds about right!
