I have been looking around the “bits box” for a figure to lead my German Weird War Totenkorps. I came up with this little beauty which I have named the “Dessicated Fox”!

Arriving in Africa in February 1941, “The Dessicated Fox” quickly took charge of the faltering Axis campaign, scoring several quick victories against British defences around Cyrenaica and surrounding the coastal fortress of Tobruk by mid-April. In early 1942, he launched another offensive, culminating in the defeat of the British in the Battle of Gazala in June and the capture of Tobruk.

“The Dessicated Fox’s” speedy surprise attacks drew awe and praise even from his enemies, and just the mention of his name, “The Dessicated Fox” instilled fear amongst his opponents. It is widely believed that he originated from the Transylvanian Alps, but little is really known about his origins.
