Given today is Fathers’ Day in Australia and I have family commitments throughout the day the post is rather short.
A take off of Sharpe’s nemesis Obadiah Hakewill the Alternate Armies Obidiah Hogswill leads the plague of deserters, petty criminals and other rascals who are a pain in the side of all armies. They must be found, caught and punished. This is hard enough if these criminals are disorganised, but if they have a strong leader they can form a force capable of challenging regular battalions in battle!
The infamous survivor and now General Obidiah Hogswill has collected one of the largest private armies of these vagabond killers that Valon has ever seen. From his strongholds in the mountains of Catalucia he picks upon the Ferach Empires troops and those of the Grand Alliance with equal hostility. With infantry, Cavalry and Artillery he is a cunning monster who must be handled very carefully!
The Legendary Elite Orc is armed with a sword and a pistol. His many brushes with the hangman’s noose and the army Provosts have led Obidiah to believe he is immortal (Muvver says so). Obidiah is an expert in survival and believes sincerely that he cannot die.
The figure of Obidiah is a limited edition one from Alternative Armies.
Great looking general Dave, and happy Fathers day
Thank you on both counts.
Happy Father’s Day … I have the dismounted version of him.
Forgot to say… he looks great… yours that is.
Thank you. I am slowly building up the Obidiah artillery and cavalry. Probably use them for Silver bayonet.
Nice mini and Happy Fathers Day! Sometimes there’s nothing better than being a Dad!!
and sometimes…………………….!!!!!
Nice mini, Dave, although his horse is maybe struggling a bit! 🙂 Hope you have a great Fathers’ Day!
Pingback: A Third Force preying in either side? – Man of TIN blog two
Interesting idea – the deserters as a third force preying in either side – which has inspired a few ideas , ones to store away for future scenarios.
I have posted a link to your blog and some of the ideas that it has inspired on my blog post here https://manoftinblogtwo.wordpress.com/2022/09/04/a-third-force-preying-in-either-side/
Thanks Mark. I like your scenario ideas.
