I’m sure my fellow Peter Laing collector colleagues will help me ID with catalogue numbers some of these Ancients figures over the next few months. There are also what I take to be auxiliary troops and some great Roman artillery. The Peter Laing Romans are superb little figures. Many of the figures have Stuart’s unit ID notes on the bases, which I will do my best to photograph and preserve as I split up the bases to individual figures bases. The Roman and Pictish foot soldiers are backed up by these colourful Peter Laing Pictish and Roman Cavalry. There is also a non-Laing Pictish C in C on Horseback There are some attractive 15mm Peter Laing Pictish and Roman / German Auxiliary Cavalry and Mounted Archers. The Picts have some attractive swirly body tattoo or body paint, along with some great command figures.Įlsewhere if I want to transform these into Ancient Britons, I have some old Peter Laing 15mm British chariots somewhere and some Assyrian and Egyptian ones – good for chariot racing games. Email reply from Stuart Asquith assigning these troops over to me as their new Commander. I have yet to split or alter the beermat bases into individually based skirmish figures.īefore I do this rebasing (which mostly involves simply cutting the multiple figure beermat bases like the archers into two individual bases), I wanted to photograph them all together, under the watchful eye of their old commander for the last time. I bought these figures, which were painted and based by Stuart, from him via an online dealer about two years ago. Preparing for an Ancients Solo Skirmish this weekend, a tribute game in Stuart Asquith’s memory, using Stuart’s very own old 15mm Peter Laing Roman and Pictish Army.
