Interesting. Been into this guy's story and his conflict for quite some years. Good to see something new on this front. Don't recall actually seeing a contemporary image of him, so have little clue to what he looked like. Not sure I imagined him quite like this, but it is nice to see a figure released.

By the way, him and his dervishes kicked up a stink from about 1900 to 1920, so not exactly sure Interwar is the best fit for this (just being territorial, Interwar is always stealing cool stuff from Colonial Adventures).  :)

It’s so ugly that , in my opinion, it could be put in command of every possible bad boys army..anyway just joking but I think that the real Mad  mullah (wy MAD???? 😄)could nt have be so cartoonish and from what I read he had been elusive during all his life so how can we depict him? Anyway very interesting mini I’ll certainly buy it and probably use as a proxy high ranking leader for many including Moroccans , Afghans even Sudanese Dervishes

Interesting take on the "Mad Mullah".  He will fit in my collection nicely.
The campaign is covered in my book https://www.caliverbooks.com/bookview.php?bvm0svu4mtuk0u6njr94igf2r7&id=27177

I realized that the very image that inspired this mini maybe is nt a one representing the Mad Mullah of Somalia but instead an Afghan or even Central Asia sultanates religious fanatic leader As mentioned in our friend Mad Guru beautiful blog
