THE RAMBLINGS OF A FRENCH CANADIAN WARGAMER

Foundry Biblical range resurrected!

We continue on with the Easter thematic this week ;-)

I just saw that Foundry Biblical range has been completely rearranged and put "au goût du jour" on their Website. It is in my humble opinion one if not THE best Foundry range, and certainly one of my all-time favourite (just don't buy the chariots, royal pain in the a** to assemble they are!). 

Foundry also gets a free sales pitch from yours truly; biblical is one of the most underappreciated period outhere, and even in the Ancients wargaming scene is usually seen as a "parent pauvre" to the Greeks and other favourites. Give it a try folks; unless you despise painting flesh, they are a joy to paint, the history is fantastic and it makes for a nice change from the usual but so often seen Roman legions (yawn). Yes, chariots are a pain to paint, but they. look. so. nice. 

Now, go ahead and click on that nice image and enjoy the fantastic period of warrior-kings, Pharaohs and chariots. You can thank me later. Or invite me over for a game.

  1. I agree! Foundry Biblicals are first rate. I have a goodly sum of figures but yet to begin my Biblical project. Some day, some day...

  2. Did click. Still have Lybians and Sea Peoples to go around. Don't know if I ever get to do it. But absolutely agree with you: Foundry at its best.

    1. If I ever need Lybians allies I'll give you a call. You probably need money with that expensive child of yours ;-)

  3. Good to see them available again. The ninfantry are very nice.

    14 pounds for a single chariot, though - The Old Glory ones look just about as good, for about 1/3 the price with the Army Card!

    We have a Canaanite vs Egyptian battle slated for Historicon this year, Ramses II era.

    1. Best chariots are Warlord, previously Cutting Edge. One piece casting, makes all the difference!

      Take a few pictures of that game please!

    The Biblical period is under rated and these are some of Foundry's best figures

    1. Indeed it is. It's the lack of cool helmets I say That's how the greeks get all their fans ;-)

  7. Sold my Foundry Trojan army and even though I didn't play it often and I was very well paid for the army I always wish I still had it. No question Biblical is among their best figures.
