This article is about the Konig Guardsman. For other uses of Tobias, see Tobias (disambiguation). |
Tobias was a Guardsman of the Konig 9th Heavy Tank Company, who served under the Tank Commander Maximillian Weisemann as the commsman of the Baneblade Arethusa.[1]
During the invasion of Colonia by the Ork Warlord Gharag Badtoof, Weisemann ordered the Arethusa to lead a solo strike against the orks as they attempted to form a bridgehead on the Cambria River. Despite being unsupported, the Arethusa and its crew reaped a heavy toll on the orks. However, the tank became bogged down and was destroyed by ork fighta-bommers. Although most of the crew evacuated before the tank exploded, Tobias was killed after another ork plane strafed their position.[1]
