Assassins & Flame Throwers

The assassins may derive their name from the Arabic Hasaseen (annihilators, referring to the Quran 3:152) or to Hashasheen (throat-slitters or users of hashish in an Egyptian Arabic dialect). The practice of using assassins was developed by Hassan-i Sabbah, a prominent Ismaili leader in the later eleventh century. Siphons and pressure hoses could be used to project burning liquid - the infamous Greek Fire. However, such inflammable material was dangerous and was generally kept for sieges rather than open battles. Pack contains four different figures. 25mm round bases included. Made from white metal, supplied unpainted and may need some assembly.
