the more detail you show, the more amazing it is! I really like the clever design for modularity (the modular bridge blew my mind). definitly inspiring!
I love the detail in the different paint jobs for the stone. It also Feels quite a stark contrast from the darker stone of the area the orcs control to the gondorian whiter stone side of the river
I can't wait for your Fornost build after seeing this one! I'm a big fan of anything Arnor, just a shame they're so limited and annoying to collect on the tabletop! I'll just keep praying for a box of plastic spearman one day!
Not only do You make beautiful modular tables, they also look to be very playable. Incredible cool work. I'm blown away by every tutorial. I'm already waiting for Your next one. And when the Pelennor fields arrives what will You amaze us with then?
Fantastic build, great results from all the work, great to see such a long term build summarised once finished. I'd love to see some mini tutorials e.g. materials used & exactly how you're modelling the stonework.
I'm curious how much time you spent working on this board per week, before the channel was your job. Really inspiring! I'd love to build something like this someday but it just seems so intimidating to get started.
This is really inspiring! Incredible that you did all this yourself; wish I could afford to just get you to make all my terrain for me because your boards are honestly the best I have seen! One thing I was thinking about is how you decided to go with modular terrain? Personally I love it because, as you say, you get maximum versatility with it and it would probably be easier to store etc. However the drawback is that the lines of the tile edges are often visible, although you have obviously done a good job minimising this. Why did you decide to go with modular tiles rather than building a board and then having removable building, for example, I think you can do a bit more to hide those bases by painting the rim black, like with the models? Hope you don’t take this as a criticism, I was just wondering how you decided to go this way when considering the benefits of each system. I ask because if we go into lockdown again I will need another project after Minas Tirith! LOTR is the only thing that really inspires me enough to build stuff beyond ‘normal’ terrain so why not Osgiliath next!
New subscriber, I saw you in an kill team vid and thought what an outrageous character! What a great change to have someone with so much passion for the hobby! Stumbled on these vids and working though them as I paint my LOTRs evil force for a campaign at my club. How do you store all this stuff, is it at your club? Stunning work!
Thanks David! Glad you're enjoying everything :D stay tuned I've just finished editing the lastest part of my Pelennor Fields board and will try and upload it tonight if my hotel WiFi is good :D lots of cool stuff so hopefully it helps with the painting :D what army are you painting up? I actually store all my stuff in my studio which is two large rooms under my house, about the size of a four car garage all up. It's getting fuller every day haha! I actually just invested in a whole lot of new steel shelving which helps :D thanks again buddy!
LOTRs seems popular at the moment, and was invited to join the campaign. Wasn`t going to join, but went to a late season wargames show and saw a bag of LOTRs stuff and bought it. Contained some forces of evil so I went with that. Seems to be several people playing good, and elves in particular, goody two shoes pah!! I have found a retailer that sells at a slight discount but ebay lots are going over box price, Mad. Did buy some Morrannon orcs at a good price though. Look forward to the New Year and some new battles. All the best!
Have you ever tried war of the ring? I've picked it up recently, found that it's a wonderful rule set, but the individual armies are extremely unbalanced. Working on that problem myself with good old Microsoft word. I'm complelty inspired by your wonderful work. I'm gonna take a crack at building the city of Dol Amroth on a similar scale. I could only imagine the amount of fun that must be to play on. Awesome work.
I actually haven't! I've heard about the balance problem though. Apparently there is a fan made revised edition, you should totally check that out if you're tinkering! Thanks dude, make sure you send me some photos as you start getting it together, I would love to see!
Zorpazorp I will definitely check that out. I've been creating new units based on some of the units featured in the third age reforged mod for medieval 2 total war to add some more variation. I'll be sure to keep some record of progress on the terrain build and maybe even make a video who knows haha.
Hey dude!!! Thanks for such a great channel and the amazing vids, really enjoying all of your work and especially enjoyed your trip to NZ vlog, it was so cool. Was just wondering, do you happen to have any links to the background music that you use in most of your LOTR vids like this one? :D
Hey @Zorpazorp! I am trying to make a bridge similar to the one you made for your Osgiliath board for the ASBGA tournament in December in Nashville, TN. Could you please tell me how you did it and some of the dimensions you've got so I can make some great terrain for our fellow SBG players to enjoy in December? Thanks a bunch bud and thank you for your amazing videos! I cannot wait to see what you've got coming up next! Once I finish my Minas Tirith/Pelennor Fields/Osgiliath map, I'm planning on doing Rohan next! Your rohan stuff is amazing!
Thanks so much dude :D High praise! I saw the Nashville event get posted on ASBGA, I hope you guys get a great turnout :) So construction wise, the whole structure is just built out of sheets of foamcore that I carved a brickwork patter into. I briefly cover that process in the first Osgiliath video which I will link below. Then it's just hit with some textured stone finish paint and painted up. As for dimensions, mine I can't remember off the top of my head, but my board is pretty custom. My suggestion would be to do a bit of a sketch and plan of the sort of board you want and see what will fit. The key element to consider will be how the board slopes into the river bank and how high the bridges are because of course you will either need to have the bridge at the same height as the city and not have very tall, or create a ramp like I did down to the city level. I hope that's helpful by all means hit me up with further questions bro :)
With your 1b1 pieces, you can also put the river ones in the middle of the table (cutting the table in two parts then), and so, you can also use some more small bridges (the same size as the ones you made when you was younger for example), or make some kind of island, by putting these same river pieces on the sides of the table, so, yeah, as you said, there is a lot of possibility with these 1b1 pieces, I really love them, In the future, would you so some similar pieces with for example Hobbit, or orkish style (for example Gorgoroth fields, or the Shire, and (that is really personal), the same way as you made Edoras' gates, would you do some Isengard's gates? or some Minas Morgul?
Aragorn09 thanks dude I'm glad you like them! Yeah I've got heaps more planned, at the moment I'm working on a. Arnor board similar to the Edoras design :) bit definitely keen to do the shire.at some point.
Hi, can you make a fight across all the Osgiliath with massive armies? Like the game would be few hours at least...That would be amazing stuff. 10/10 would watch :D
@The Only True Witch-King WOWWWW that sounds like an absolutely incredible game dude! What a wild ride that might have been!! We are absolutely planning a few biiiiig reports like that, the first one coming up will be The Battle of the Pelennor Fields, at about 3000pts a side with six players using the new scenario in the Lord of the Rings armies book. We'll also definitely do a massive Osgiliath report too. I actually development a full long form campaign system designed to represent the long ear of attrition that took place in Osgi. I've uploaded the rules in the description of the first video, I'll link it below. It's designed to be played over many weeks with two game phases, ten turns of normal SBG then a Campaign turn where players manage resources, deploy reinforcements etc etc. It's pretty mental and we'll definitely crack that out at some point :D but thanks so much for sharing man that's a hectic story and I'll definitely take your advice into account, all really good suggestions :)
You are in luck Mel! I've got another three or four Osgiliath videos coming out over the next three or four months!! But shhhhh that's RIP top secret stuff! And yes it is all foam coreboard:)
It's just foam coreboard carved and detailed like the rest of the city, but you can check out my very first video on the board and there's a part two as well :) th-cam.com/video/oP9mfJNltlI/w-d-xo.html
I find that design is just as important. Conceptualisation is key for the development of any project. If you're looking to see more of the construction process you can check out this video here :) th-cam.com/video/oP9mfJNltlI/w-d-xo.html

Honestly, your passion for this is so incredible. Thank you so much for posting this, it's amazing.
Thanks Poppy! I'll be remaking this board later in the year too so stay tuned!
@@Zorpazorp Can't wait!
This needs more views, likes and subscribes. Great work Zorpazorps!! 5/5 would recommend your channel!
Thanks so much Ian! Spread the ZZ love far and wide :D
It was always amazing for me how game board makers capture so many details and how beutiful they paint these boards.
Great job 👌👌👍👍
Misiok PL cheers bro! Glad you liked it!
Wow I love the epic scale of this battle board. I love how small the nazgul figure looks compared to just a single building. The detail is on point!
You are the best! End of discussion...
Haha cheers bro :D Don't know about that I think Richard Taylor might get me there ;)
I love the detail in the different paint jobs for the stone. It also
Feels quite a stark contrast from the darker stone of the area the orcs control to the gondorian whiter stone side of the river
Thanks dude! I'll be remaking this board soon! After Minas Tirith!
@@Zorpazorp remaking it??? I'd love to see how this board could get any better. keep up the awesome content

As I promised, I said I'd give this a look...boy it is amazing. Congrats!!
Haha thanks dude :D glad you liked it!
This is unreal mate. Great work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow, this is just immense! I'd be happy if I could make the bits now you did age 12! Absolutely stunning build.
Amazing board!! You guys should post battle reports of your campaign in the city! Cant wait to see your future work!
Jesse mckay for sure! Soooon haha :D

Is there a video on doing the stonework for the buildings ? Also this board is amazing you rock dude !
Mannnnn the amount of times I get asked for this haha, really need to get around to it. Thanks bro!
No problem bud keep up the awesome work !!

Please make Helms Deep
Elias Harben hahahaha Oh Elias it's definitely on the cards. Wanted to do it since I was a kid. Definitely someday but Fornost and Moria first :)
Zorpazorp What art would you use to make Fornost? I didn’t think there was very much.
Elias Harben there isn't heaps but it will certainly have a mix of Gondorian influences. So I can work a lot from there :)
Zorpazorp there was a level in ruined Fornost in Battle for middle earth 2.
Elias Harben ah true! I only played the first. There's also a fair bit in War in the North.
Awesome stuff!
