Will follow this with great interest! Have a couple of books about the battle and have also Massimo's great figures. Have made two small scenes inspired by this battle. Conversions or totally new figures? Or just so heavily converted as they can count as new sculpts? Anyhow, looks very interesting!
Here are my small contributions (unfortunately on Photobucket so a fix maybe is appropriate):
