These games were such a treat to play as a kid, spent soooo much time on them. It's actually the reason why I play Dale now, since the Easterling siege was a mission and you could recruit the archers as Dwarves.
That's an excellent idea :) Which ones do you think would look good on the tabletop, maybe some of the capturable neutral dwellings from the second game?
@@windrushwargamers2745 thanks. i don't own many video games but i love how you took inspiration from the game. more content like that would be cool! just ideas, jotting lots of stuff down, odd sketch here and there at the moment. i try to take ideas and add my own unique spin to them, rather than just copy! i am designing a few mega-ish boards in 3d design software, and these will remain classified for now! i got so inspired at the start of this year by content like this that i returned to the game, returned to building, and i plan on creating my own channel soon to vlog my journey :) hopefullly over 2023 you will see some of my content.
@@windrushwargamers2745 Totally, from what is visible in the video it looks like you also used it on the wooden areas and the stone as well? Even if not it tones down the heavy contrast had to the rest of the rather dark paint job. I think it binds all colours really good together while still leaving them visible. Really great job!
@@windrushwargamers2745 I'm giving them a fur inside on all the cloaks similar to Grimbolds. Then really scratching up and chipping their shields and dirtying the bottom of the cloak (they have been defending the Isen for days lol)
@@windrushwargamers2745 not terrain yet but currently working on my Grey Havens inspired Rivendell army so you’ve given me the idea to look at the buildings from BFME2 from the Grey Havens mission. Might have to have a go at building some for a display board 👍
I liked this a lot. Those games left such a strong inpression on me, they would totally be a great inspiration for terrain. Gondor farm would look really great with the wheat growing, too. And a Gondor outpost with the tower and a well and statue would look really impressive, I'm sure. How about these tower ruins you can garrison with archers?
Really in love with these pieces, feel like making my own now. I would love to see a dedicated wargaming board for a mordor or isengard "bfme base" The game had lots of flavourous buildings, I think the evil factions would translate better into miniature, although the lothlorien trees would look amazing too
Thanks! would love to see your work if you do decide to do it. The Lothlorien tree houses look immense, maybe I could make one or two pieces inspired by them to supplement my Mirkwood terrain. I also might have a crack at making a Gondor Farm
@@windrushwargamers2745 yeah I still play it . I play age of ring 7.3 very often . I am enjoying very nuch . Your terrain building were exactly the same ! Also I only play evil factions both in miniatures and the bfme and that was amazing . Maybe in your next video you should go with the food factions like gondor or rohan or dwarfs . I suppose the elves might be difficult as the have trees for buildings .
Thanks Twinkle! If I did it wouldn't be a whole set again, it took way too long. I might make a Gondor Farm from BFME. Should be easy enough and would supplement the Gondor terrain I have right now :) What are you working on?
Aww man sooo good. The nostalgia hit from this was incredible. I remember I would sit and watch the furnace pop out the ingots for ages thinking it was the best graphics ever. Plan on making some good faction buildings?
Thanks my bro. It was a trip for us as well, just the sound bites alone take me back to my childhood. Aye I have thought about it. I wouldn't want to do a full board though so maybe a one off piece- I reckon I could make a decent Gondor Farm to supplement my Gondor terrain.
@@windrushwargamers2745 Class man, yeh the good ones will be much harder i think. I always liked the elven archery range maby ill give that a bash one day
@@JMACCSArmiesOfMiddleEarth That would be sick to see that. Was thinking about maybe the dwarf buildings from BFME 2 with the axe throwing but I will start at the farm. That will get more use at my table anyway
Thanks Buddy. This was a Rhino toy with the horns cut off, and a horn more like the Great Beast's sculped on with Greenstuff. I was going to glue him down but decided to leave him loose for the hazards.

yeah the games re class, full of character. Are you working on anything SBG related?
I would love to see some more videos like this on the other factions buildings from battle for middle earth
That's an excellent idea :)

@@windrushwargamers2745 ohh yeah that would be excellent! I would love to see that!
so few subscibers! this was an amazing video, and has given me some nice ideas. more content like this please!
Thanks Buddy, There should be more coming. Got some ideas on the horizon. What are you working on right now?

@@CreativeWoff Excellent bud, I look forward to seeing the content
Duuude this is the coolest stuff, im definitely gonna try to replicate some of this!
Thanks broski, let me know here how they turn out- could even send some pics to the channel Gmail :)
Nice, these turned out great. Can't really say which one is my favorite, as they're all really cool and mastch each other so well.
Thanks Buddy! You gave me some feedback early on about the Orc pit- I dulled the yellow down with some brown pigment powders. Do you think it worked?

@@Old_Shatterhans Thanks buddy, those pigments really did most of the work
Love the content guys
Thanks Hunsler. What are you working on in the hobby currently?
@@windrushwargamers2745 working on some Rohan warriors with Grimbolds +1 strength upgrade to make them standout from normal warriors
@@hunsler1006 sounds awesome mate, how are you making them standout?

@@hunsler1006 sounds badass dude. they should look imposing. Feel free to send some pics over to the gmail : windrushwargamers@gmail.com
These look fantastic and love the idea of in-game effects if you get near the beasts.

Thanks! Have you done much terrain building?
How do you get the tea lights out when the batteries die?
the tea lights have screws on the underside. so I can get to the batteries that way
BEST TERRAIN I HAVE EVER SEE !
Thanks buddy! Anymore buildings from the game you would want to see?
Do you play Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game?

Very cool! The orc pit and furnace look the best to me. Any plans to do further buildings? Either way, well done, and always enjoy your videos.

@@windrushwargamers2745 Currently working on Rangers of Middle-Earth, and a scratch built Weathertop.
@@twinklecave9475 sounds like a great combination. Are you planning to display the rangers on Weathertop?

These look amazing, I was wondering what did you guys use for the great beast of gorgoroth?
Thanks Buddy. This was a Rhino toy with the horns cut off, and a horn more like the Great Beast's sculped on with Greenstuff. I was going to glue him down but decided to leave him loose for the hazards.
We need an another video on this project !
what terrain would you want to see?
@@windrushwargamers2745 Haradrim Palace is one the prettiest, although you should do the one you would enjoy the most making 👌
