Nice work, Cyrus! I always love a good Biblical project.

One thing to note, for the sake of Biblical accuracy: the Ark was never supposed to be carried "exposed" like that.

A blue cloth must be draped over it whenever it is carried by the priests.

Now that would be easier to scratch build than the Arc itself.

I've checked my copy of DBA & 'Nazi' is not listed as an enemy of the Hebrew army. lol

Good reading chaps!

Funnily enough we have a full biblical event at the end of the month up here in Manchester.
Visitors are very welcome to come and have a nose around.

We’ve got 20 players, or near enough.
Using WAB V2 rules and lists, in 28mm.

Babylonian, Assyrian, Egyptian, early Indian, early Persian, Sea People, Hittite, etc.
It should be quite a spectacle.
