Leave it to Blizzard to take one of the most successful and enduring massively multiplayer online games and make a record-breaking diorama out of it.

During BlizzCon this past weekend, an impressive World of Warcraft diorama was on display, depicting a battle between the Horde and the Alliance at Lordaeron City to celebrate the reveal of the next World of Warcraft expansion, Battle for Azeroth.

It's so big, it earned a Guinness world record for largest video game diorama.

The diorama features 10,000 BlizzCon attendees' actual World of Warcraft characters, 3D-printed and painted either blue or red to represent the Alliance or Horde, poised for battle atop 1,300 square feet of battlefield (to scale).
