Gotta draw a historical battle scene for assignment. Ideas?

Battle of the Hydaspes
 
Features ancient Greeks and Macedonians in an exotic jungle environment against what were considered aliens to them with fucking war elephants.
 
That's right.  War elephants.

The battle for Troy?  The one with Achilles and the trojan horse and all that jazz.

Go with something modern, Gulf war or Vietnam perhaps?

My brother just said about doing the Siege of Ascalon, 40 Templar Knights stood against an entire Egyptian army when the Crusader's refused to follow. All of the 40 Templar Knights were beheaded as a result. It is lesser known part of history that may spark some intrigue. The Templar Knights are a rather good warrior figure to draw in my opinion due to their sheer size and their armour. 

" How about the battle of Thermopylae? It would be pretty easy to do.. The one the Movie 300 is based on.. Not the other multiple battles taken place there.. "

I'm not imagining it am I? You did say this was for an architectural course/class? 
 
Well, this doesn't have much in the away of architecture to look at, unless you count the men and horses and guns and formations and movement, a form of architecture.

Draw something from the Battle of Los Angeles.

" Battle of the Hydaspes  Features ancient Greeks and Macedonians in an exotic jungle environment against what were considered aliens to them with fucking war elephants.  That's right.  War elephants. "

Draw the siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar.

" @RVonE:  You serious? If yes, then the thing is I can't use video games for the scene. "

any of the battles from dynasty warriors

" @armaan8014: If you are going to go with one of Wallace's battles I would suggest The Battle of Stirling Bridge. "

" Okay, got some more if you're into mythology. There is the 12 labours of Heracles (Hercules):     1. To kill the Nemean lion.   2. To destroy the Lernaean Hydra.   3. To capture the Ceryneian Hind.   4. To capture the Erymanthian Boar.   5. To clean the Augean Stables.   6. To kill the Stymphalian Birds.   7. To capture the Cretan Bull.   8. To round up the Mares of Diomedes.   9. To steal the Girdle of Hippolyte.  10. To herd the Cattle of Geryon.  11. To fetch the Apples of Hesperides.  12. To capture Cerberus.   I like the Cerberus one the most. Hercules, in the underworld, having to capture the Cerberus without using any weapons.  You could also draw Thor fighting the giant Hrungnir. Thor crushes his skull with Mjölnir. Could be quite a bloody and gory image.The fall of Achilles maybe. Shot in the heel with a poison arrow.Theseus killing the Minotaur in the labyrinth .The death of king Minos maybe. Not a battle, but scalded to death in a bath. That could be a really gory mess. Perseus' "battle" against the Gorgon Medusa. Not much of a battle, since he basically decapitated her while she was sleeping. There's Jason and the Argonauts too. Again, not that many battles, since he took the Golden Fleece of the sleepless dragon by giving it a sleeping potion. Cadmus defeating the Ismean Water Dragon. That's about all I can think of right now. "

" @armaan8014: Sounds brilliant dude. I think you will excel at this assignment. The amount of effort you're already putting in is incredible. Maybe mix them all up, or do a few, just to prove to the teachers the scope you looked at. That's if you can't decide on just one.  "

the spartans like in 300

"@Count_Zero: Nice. I'm reading up on both of them, then I'm gonna watch Braveheart and think over it. Currently 4-5 topics in my head right now. "

" @armaan8014: I like history as well, not quite as much as you seem to though dude. I did history as an A level before going starting university but I haven't taken it at degree level, which is a shame. I think you should show the GB community what you finally end up with as I think we're all intrigued and have made suggestions and what not.  I don't blame you for sticking to the areas you narrowed earlier, either way I'm sure it's going to be awesome. Good luck man, keep me informed with how you get on.  EDIT: I just realised you're a Chelsea fan. Top man, so am I :D "

Battle of Cannae, where Hannibal slaughtered the largest ever Roman army with a force a fraction of the size.

@jenniferlopez82: Bruh this was 11 years ago - I've since graduated, worked in and given up on architecture, worked in films, and made and released two video games as an indie game dev XD XD

Did you get a good grade? ;-)

@monkeyking1969: Haha I think so! I think I drew the Battle of Hastings from the documentary 1066 the battle for the middle earth. I think I might still have that drawing around somewhere, should try looking for it :D

@armaan8014 Nice! I love the Battle of Hastings. In college...a very long time ago I read for class "1066: Year of the Conquest by David Howarth, it was a great book on the history and a very quick read. As history notes Harold Godwinson's got a raw deal after brilliantly turning back an invasion from Norway at Stamford bridge, only to get "ganked" by William in a reverse "Normandy Landing".
