Hello everyone, Not a manfactures does not offer a 28mm figurine of Samson of the tribe of Dan, son of Manoach and judge of the Judeans for twenty years? Thank you. |

Surely your best option would be a Baresark figure from a Viking army? – or possibly a fantasy barbarian? |

Well I've used a Ral Partha giant figure as my "Goliath" in my 28mm Philistine army. |

Perhaps we need to know what 'look' you are looking for, as I remember Samson has no real description in the Bible.
As his strength surprised people, he must have looked more or less a normal human, though his Nazirite vow meant his hair and beard would be long an uncut. |

Make sure he is equipped with the jawbone of an ass. |

How about a Hercules figure? Much easier to find I think. |

I would second a Hercules, though one without a lion skin, and give him a longer beard and hair, and a fringe to his kilt with putty. |

Many will even have a club, which you could shape into a jawbone. |
| Herkybird | 31 May 2021 2:12 a.m. PST |
FYI the Jawbone of an ass was only used in one engagement, it wasn't Samson's standard armaments. |
| Paskal | 31 May 2021 9:57 a.m. PST |
Yes, especially not to forget the jaw of donkey! |
| Bashytubits | 31 May 2021 3:33 p.m. PST |
Well if you are going to nitpick Herky he killed a lion bare handed. I wonder how much you could sell one of those jawbones on e bay for? Authentic re production jawbone as used by Samson. |

Yes, but the lions of Asia are less badass than those of Africa,but maybe not at the time … On the other hand, Samson was consecrated to God from birth as a Nazir, Samson didn't need to be strong and the lion didn't stand a chance. In conclusion, no figurine for him, except in plastic at 1/72 scale: link |

No one includes the jawbone on a weapons sprue? |
| Paskal | 03 Jun 2021 11:37 p.m. PST |
Robert, Samson is the No.1 figure and the Donkey's Jaw is the No.1 weapon. |
begins his series on how to paint a 15mm DBA army well, in a reasonable time frame.
