JAN-06 – Zihril Nefer – Armoured Assault Soldiers
Among the most visually impressive figures in the John Jenkins Ottoman range are the Zihril Nefer, represented as heavily protected armoured assault soldiers.
JAN-06 brings these formidable troops together in a set that immediately stands apart from the more lightly equipped Janissary infantry.
Armour remained relevant during the transitional centuries in which firearms became increasingly important. Weapons and protection did not change overnight; older and newer military technologies could exist side by side as armies adapted to gunpowder warfare.
The Zihril Nefer are particularly effective at the point where an Ottoman battle line is about to close with the enemy. Position them forward of the main Janissary ranks or use them in a siege setting where heavily protected troops would provide an impressive assault element.
Their armour also introduces welcome visual variety into a large Ottoman formation, breaking up the clothing and equipment of the main infantry.
Available from The Military Workshop – a striking John Jenkins Designs Zihril Nefer set representing the heavily protected assault troops of the Ottoman military tradition.
Brand: John Jenkins
