JT-02 – Jacobite Targe Warrior
The targe is one of the most distinctive pieces of equipment associated with the Highland warrior.
JT-02 – Jacobite Targe Warrior places this traditional round shield at the centre of the figure's appearance, making him an excellent close-combat addition to a Jacobite force.
Scottish targes were commonly constructed from wood and covered with leather, often reinforced or decorated with metal fittings. In the hands of a swordsman, the shield could provide protection while allowing the weapon arm freedom to strike.
By 1745, however, Highland military equipment was far from perfectly uniform. Muskets were important, and not every warrior carried the romantic combination of broadsword and targe familiar from later imagery.
That makes JT-02 especially effective when mixed with firearm-equipped Highlanders. The contrast gives the army a more varied and convincing appearance.
Place him at the point where the charge has reached the government line, perhaps alongside other sword-armed warriors and combat sets.
Available through The Military Workshop – a striking John Jenkins Designs Targe Warrior bringing one of the most iconic pieces of Highland fighting equipment to the Jacobite battlefield.
