Pictures taken during the initial turns of our DBMM game in 2009. I pimped the pictures recently. Macedonians painted by Mr. Bos. Greek allies and Persians by Mr. Cryns.

Impressive volume of work! One can think that your day has 40-50 hours.

In my miniatures hobby making and marking rating system, these kind of job goes straight to the highest top position!
For quality and quantity, to own something like these would be the wettest dream for me…
Mr Cryns, your skills painting and displaying 1:72 miniatures (and making graphic documents of it!) are splendid.
Congratulations for it!

Where were these pictures taken?
At the real battle?
Amazing work!
What is already a Roman cohort.....

These photos represent everything I love in the hobby of figurines. The representation of history at a scale that makes the picture absolutely wonderful: the right balance between number and detail. Obviously representing A battle with MANY figurines is as much a priesthood that a sacrifice (financial, time ...), but, in my humble opinion, what is the most beautiful!
So i want additional photos of this masterpiece, and close-ups !!
Just a question : About how many miniatures ?

I`m really disappointed Mr. Cryns in the standard of your work on display here. After viewing through a powerful microscope I noticed no dirt at all under the fingernails of one or two of your figures. 
Therefore Like a School Report I stamp it," Could Do Better."
" I kinda like that. However BB,is only Joking!"
Splendid Epic Display in every way shape and form. Congratulations to all concerned.

Dear fellow forum members thank you so much for the great replies.
One may know I started with painting these figures 31 years ago as a teenage boy. One third of these miniatures are Matchbox, Airfix and Atlantic conversions from the 1980's, long before Hat and Zvezda started to release real Persians.
You must have a weird sex life Despertaferro but I still consider this as a very big compliment from someone I admire very much in return 
As usual in my tiny livingroom but the battlefield behind the last ranks is extended a bit by digital copy & paste work otherwise you would see my TV and vacuumcleaner.
To be honest I missed a kind of massive Macedonian falanx like the FANTASTIC one you displayed at Figz 2016. Mr. Bos has some real nice falanquists but for such a massive battle like ours these were only enough for a double front rank. Additional ranks had to be created by Greek Hoplites counting as pikemen in the game.
I have dozens of them but I have to find time to select and post them. I will do that later, first I have to prepare for Crisis Antwerp and Dioramica shows.
We never counted them but it should be around 1500 of which 600 are very poor painted oldies and 500 are Mr. Bos his figurines.
