Fantastic, like the person below me said, They would have won... they would have destroyed many more soldiers, with the Persian Navy gone thanks to Athens, the Phocians thought the Persians were coming to kill their people and ran. Your build is great, I love the small details on the Spartans.

The Greeks would have held out if it were not for the Peloponesians abandoning a pass through the mountains, and a traitor revealing this pass as a flanking route, so the Persians could trap the Spartans on both sides.

great shots, really good minifigs !!....A good lego fig battle always pleases !!>.....well done....

Sweet!!

how long did it take u 2 make that?

Lots o' minifigs! Nice rock-work and the water looks good, too! Neat build all around!

William Mason is right, Spartans would never dare throw their spears first. This form is called a "Phaulanxs Formation". It was a giant wall of spears meant to repel any and all enemies in the front of the line. They could hold this position for days if needed. If they threw their spears first, that would basically be taking the sting right off the scorpion. Still, the landscape i excellent. Very well made.

Thatīs great! I really like the landscape youīve created and the various battle scenes. I bet it would look even cooler with the new Spartan minifigure, but then itīs hard to get enough for this fantastic MOC.

Spartans wouldn't have thrown their spears, they were for stabbing. Also, the Persians began the battle with an arrow bombardment at long range which was mostly ineffective because of the Spartans' heavy armor and the cheap bows the Persians used. The Greeks were finally defeated when a traitor told Xerxes of a little known trail that took the Persians behind the Greeks. One more thing: The Spartans were not the only ones. About 1,000 other Greeks also fought unil the end. Great MOC, though. I don't wanna sound all teachy or anything.

Great Moc! But historicly spartans allmost never throw their spears, that was their main weapon. But great work!

man, your MOCs are wonderful! in my opinion you should start your own MOC website kinda like saber scorpican!

this is the best battle reanactmeant of thermoplyae in lego hands down nice job dude!!!!

are these for sale? just all the people not the landscape? i would pay A LOT of money for them.. email me at rvdhutchings@yahoo.com if u wanna sell. :D

This is the best Greek history is the best now do the Trojan war

Awesome!!! youve got a LOT of those Persians! Im not sure if the Spartans threw their spears, though. pride thing.

This is amazing! I really love greek history (mostly because I am greek). This just made my day!

the landscape is GREAT! i like how u made the guys with brickforge helmats leonidasis body guards.

ok, moc good, idea...good... build..extra good, combat ok... first of all, whoever reads this, remember the new movie 300 is ENTERTAINMENT... not very accurate..... 2nd off all, the spartans were good because of DISCIPLNE... they would NOT throw their spears... there were rank upon rank of spartans...each with a spear, supporting the front sparatan... thermoplye was 100 men wide, shoulder to shoulder... so there were 3 ranks, obvoisly the last rank had longe spears... the first rank had hand held shield (BIG) and short spear, 2nd rank, had shield and longer spear, 3rd rank, had only large spear, or shield slung on their back...still the point is, the spartans actually fought wiht 10,000 greek soldiers, after leonidas heard he was betrayed, he sent them all away except his 300 guards... (from sparta, the rest were from athens and what not) and 700 volunteers stayed from the other greeks... TOGETHER they stoped the persians to the last man...

Great job! Try making the battle it's self more accurate

(mouth open with awe)

How did you do that!!??!! It is INCREDIBLE!!

man you already have a mountain of comments but heres one more. great job!!!!

Yay, breastplates!!! A spartan never throws his spear!!!!! ever. The spartans also created a wall of shields and let the persians impale themselves on their spears!!!

Not a bad army design. I enjoy the scenery very much except for one thing: the absense of the wall mentioned in the Histories of Herodotus. I believe the Spartan bodyguard should also have their attending Helots. Good job, Dan.

love it were did u get everything

your landscaping skills are amazing

This is one of my favorite creations of all time. GREAT JOB!

awesome i am greek and that is a brilliant job, maybe you should do the battle of issos

wow, that was great! All you have to add is the elephants and I think that's it, keep up the good work, and add some more features. awe

Awsome job.

WOW!!!!! Amazing! I have seen the movie, and you are brillant! 100 thumbs up

It is great, I have never seen such a large-scale lego battle...But where is the part when the Spartans are attacked in their back by the Persians? But I guess you could easily do that.

(Leonidas pulls out his sword) Persian Emmissary: This is madness. No one threatens an emmissary! Leonidas: Madness? THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -300 Anyway, awesome moc

A stunning design - a nice historical touch. The army is nice, but the landscape is what really caught my attention. Lee

Wow, this is great! It would make an amazing movie too! ;)

did you happen to learn of the thermo... thingy from the book halo:the fall of reach

Excellent land scape and troops. Historical events are accurate too, great.

Hey man, this is great. I have one question. Are those custum minifigs? If so how did you make them. Please e-mail me back. If there not custum tell where i can get them.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Dude where did you get all those figs.And how did you make the landscape.email me for how you made it.

i think this is the best creation i've seen yet on this web site. the landscaping is incredable! i wish i was that good! i love the mini figs! you rock man!!

Awsome! The landscape was outstanding and the numbers of persians enormous! Nice job!

Thats awsome man. I never had any respect for persians once, then, get this, I played prince of persia sands of time, then i looked up persian warfare and such, now i think they're awsone, and i like what you did here, very very nice. I love the landscaping.

Cool,Review our mocs!

This is the best thing I've seen on MOCpages in quite some time. Fantastic landscaping, and I love the Spartans (red and gold is my favorite combo). Great custom figs. Even though the Persians are just Luke Skywalkers and such, you still made them work well. Fantastic recreation of one of my favorite historical battles.

Hey, excellent battle...its a prize winner in my book. :)
