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

Be sure to take LOTS of lovely close up pictures, & post them here.

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.

I am a little jelly as I am half a planet away but I expect some lovely photos to be taken.

Sounds cool, a 'third' here for hoping for lots of great pics!

I will hopefully remember!

I've added some Gibborim 'mighty men' to my early Hebrew army:

Very nice!

[Tarnegol]

Always nice to see Biblical stuff, particularly when it is so well done.

[Cyrus1]

Thanks gents, I’m a big biblical fan, so many interesting armies. Getting them painted is the challenge…

I must revisit my Bible. Don't recall many of those.

Wow, I missed this update back in November.

Philistines to fight my Hebrews.

I love your Philistines! Very inspirational.

Unless I'm misunderstanding your meaning here, all of those armies are mentioned throughout the Old Testament, as the Israelites are frequently caught up in the politics and wars of those nations (mostly being ruled/oppressed by them!) The exception being the early Indians. The only time India comes into play in the Old Testament is when it is mentioned as being part of the Persian empire.

Thanks tikitang, I've just finished some Blitzkrieg Miniatures' Midianite Camel Riders:

Great to see this project continuing.

Just reading Dan Carlin's book, The End is Always Near, and the chapter on the bronze age collapse has me thinking about biblicals again.

Cyrus, a great thread. I too have Sea Peoples and Hittites, plus Assyrians.  Obviously the first two are contemporaneous but the latter dates to  400 years later. I really want a New Kingdom Egyptian army but baulked at the £300+ bill I worked up to buy from Foundry. I'm now tempted by the Red Copper Miniatures range sold by Blitzkrieg and Lancer Miniatures, especially as the latter sells the chariot for under £10 .Infuriatingly the range doesn't include any Egyptian spearman figures which I find quite bizarre. Does anyone know how the Red Copper Egyptians match size-wise with other manufacturers?
