This is massive. I love all of the trees and those tents, and I'm jealous of your army. Nice work.

I saw this on flickr yesterday, very impressive. The action is great, you can almost imagine the tension of the two armies about to collide. For whatever reason, the tents in the camp stood out to me as well. Great job!

That's a massive army!
I like the real and authentic look of it! And as the others said, the tents are really nice! I also like the custom made details on the soldiers!
It's nice to see Finland being represented for once!! I guess it's supposed to be Finlands flag, not a knites templar flag?!

Very impressive! Much better than static hoarding, this really displays the figs at their best. The scenery is also nice even if it is a little minimal, though of course most real battle sites were chosen for that reason.

God Bless,

Very professional looking, the trees, the two armies - :twitch: . I like the hats using what I think to be an older tire and a cone, impressive! The figures are top shelf. Plus its nice for me to be reminded of such an important battle in my ancestors country. Thanks for sharing this, really.

Amazing. While I wish the display actually showed the battling soldiers, but it still is a fantastic display.

Over 96 baseplates? Wow.

I saw this on Brickshelf yesterday. I was needless to say stunned! The sheer immenseness of this MOC is boggling! Love all of the customs. The camp in the trees is also incredible. Too much to compliment here so I will just say that this is an awesome coop MOC. Great stuff here.

I'm wondering how the extra long lances were made.

Hey Josh,

In this pic, look at the mounted knights at the near end of the front rank.

Woah... :twitch: Love the forest, love the river. I can just imagine the cavalries thundering across the plain(or meadow, but that doesn't seem right for a battle :D )

And so he slipped into the forest, vanishing without a trace, leaving his pursuers lost without ideas, while he went to finish his MOC's.

What an impressive scene. The paper (?) bardings are really great.
I also wonder how those long lances were made... Carved out of wood, perhaps...
And what about the pavise shields (looks like pavises to me) that the black and yellow crossbowmen right behind
the long-lance-knights in the picture Bruce pointed out got?
