Thanks gents, it’s a fascinating period with lots of interesting, colourful armies. I think they’re all fairly compatible large 28mm ranges similar in size to Foundry. The Warlord NKE are very nice but a tad slighter and skinnier. Newline are good value too. Wargames Atlantic are supposed to have plastic NKE in the works. I have a lot of 28mm Bronze Age/Biblical armies but find a lot of these new resin ranges are available in 15mm as well which is a cheaper option.

Cheers

Cyrus

I’m so tempted to join this particular period. Nearly went all in when Museum Miniatures had their sale this January.
Yet, I’m very unsure whether going 15mm or 28mm. 15mm would allow really going for the mass look, but there are so many colorful heroes, like David, Samson, Ramses, Achill and the Greeks (if you allow thwhoöe Mediterranean to participate), Conan  lol, Hector, Paris…

Fantastic period. Great mix of figures and lovely basing and painting. Studio Miniatures in Greece are bringing out their own resin Hebrews and Philistines in near future. So many options now for biblical gaming.

It’s one of my favorite rulesets! I use it in a simizway for battles in GW‘s Realms of Chaos. Never thought about the Bible, though. Anyone already statted Old Jove? :o ;)

15mm man! Think of the chariots! :D

Also, CP Models now have the Crom's Anvil range of scenery which will work wonders for the Bronze Age, and Blotz do a lovely set of Biblical Walls in 15mm. I resolved to resume my own 15mm project in this era, after considering selling it all.  ;)

That said, Cyrus' 28mm efforts are wonderful and very inspiring! If starting from scratch I would be torn as well!
