    Wow. What a journey and hopefully this is just the beginning. To support more of this madness go and buy some cool stuff from Wētā Workshop you absolute legends. Make sure you check out the Grey Havens Diorama here: www.wetanz.com/grey-havens
    Some big 'thank you's to fire out, firstly to everyone at Wētā Workshop who made this possible, Jules, Louise, Caitlin, Leonard, Bawal, Shanti, Charlotte, Simon and Jules again because he deserves to be thanked twice.
    Another big thanks to Jimmy for the help with the Rock molds, and Andy for sorting me with with some varnish on short notice.
    And thank you so much to all of you guys for watching, this video means so much to me, and I really really hope you enjoyed it. Comment below where else in Middle Earth you'd love to see me tackle using this format!!
    Big love, Lachie.

    The year is 2070. Zorpazorp has officially created a single board that covers all of middle earth at warhammer scale. It spans over 30 km from the Grey Havens to Barad-dur

    What a privilege it must have been to collaborate with Weta on this awesome project. I adore the Grey Havens/Lindon design, so distinct from the other elven architecture we get to see in the movies. Beautiful stuff mate. Also, you are an absolute menace with that blowtorch...

    • @Zorpazorp
      @Zorpazorp  11 місяців тому +11

      Haha thank you Simon, same here it's really beautiful, I can't wait to make more off the cliffs. I've already though of a modular system so I can still do a mega pour with foundations for all the structures submerge din water but still keep al lthe pieces removable to I can use them for 1st age locations for some Silly action!
      It wasn't my fault blame Steve Smith...

    So damn proud of you man. You’ve come so far from that original Osgiliath board, and your passion and skill are such a joy to witness. “My friends, you bow to no one” is the scene that always makes me cry, even outside the context of the film. Keep it up man, you’re killing it.

    This is absolutely peak Zorpazorp! It has everything we’ve come to know and love. A ridiculously huge Lord of the Rings board from a beloved location, a Weta Workshop collaboration, iconic location filming, leopard spotted plaster rocks, geek gaming scenics, and of course, Rustoleum grey zenithal highlights. I just can’t wait to see just how big this build is going to get, you’ve really outdone yourself this time Lachie ☺️.

    Gobsmacked. This is just so awesome. Kudos to Weta for their assistance and wonderful to see so many tried and tested techniques brought into play to make a truly beautiful board. And the dash of a Lauchie mishap too, though cricket is an acceptable distraction of course. NZ might not only become a destination for fans of the films but maybe fans of ME SBG too at some point in the future?

    So many tear-worthy moments in LotR! Boromir's death, Theoden's death (and Theodred's funeral, too), Aragorn's coronation and the "my friends, you bow to no one", and finally, the Grey Havens scene. Moments that make me cry every time I get to them.

    So.. it looks like you are apprenticing at Weta now. That is actually amazing. Cool to have seen the journey that has lead you there.
    Lindon could also work as Pelargin thus giving you a way of using the same terrain for the meeting of the Oathbreakers and the Pirates of Umbar :)

    • @Zorpazorp
      @Zorpazorp  11 місяців тому +1

      Totally agree! Pelargir, Havens of Cirion, Brithombar, lots of uses for this style of modular board I think

    • @mennorach
      @mennorach 11 місяців тому +1

      Yes. That sounds good. Modularity in terrain pieces is a must. If you come up with a good, fast way of building fleets, let us know :) And as an answer to the question, The charge of the Rohirrim: "and the hosts of mordor wailed, and terror took them, and they fled, and died and the hoofs of wrath rode over them." That brings me to tears..@@Zorpazorp

  • @nakenmil
    @nakenmil 11 місяців тому +4

    You make this process seem almost effortless, Lachie, you're underselling how much effort and work this is! I'm honestly gobsmacked, and so happy that you get the inside opportunities like this. Good on ya! I've noticed a little thing that somewhat amused me: it seems like the designers over at Weta didn't really like eaves, since most of their roofs stop pretty much at the wall underneath - at least for the Gondorian and Grey Haven sets (and iirc also in their Dale designs). Just a weird little observation, lol.
    As for a scene that always gets me, I think it's only in the extended edition, but when Theoden is rejuvenated and goes to the grave mound of his son, he says: "No parent should have to bury their child," and breaks down crying. That completely wrecks me. What a powerful performance.

(I'm three months into my own Gondor city board now copying your techniques). The whole time I've been thinking what top five locations I'm looking forward to seeing you do. Rivendell, Moria, Minas Morgul, Umbar and Dol Amroth I concluded, but now seeing the Grey Havens come together, I'm totally sold. It looks amazing already. Besides Minas Tirith, this is the project of yours I'm most excited to see develop. Don't ever stop!

  • @bleachorange
    @bleachorange 11 місяців тому

    "Is there no other way for the women and children to get out of the caves? ....Is there no other way?!"
    This scene of defeat and destruction, when all seems lost where Aragorn talks around Theoden one last time into a final act of courage - even subtly reminding him that the battle is not for glory but for the people of Rohan. The charge of less than a dozen into the legion of Uruk-hai just to buy a little more time, in hope that somehow, their friend will come through for them.
    This gets me every time.
    Theoden sort of relearning kingship and the true meaning of leading from Aragorn - which will result in him overcoming his reluctance and mustering his armies to ride to the aid of Gondor in the future despite some bitterness over the past.

    It's crazy to me how much work and time!! went into this not even 20 min video - i could use some hour long versions, where i just sit back and enjoy the process, but i know thats probably not practical for youtube bc it doesnt favour long video formats, but thats such a shame, i wish i could relish in your creative process for longer and appreciate all the work and effort not just in a little clip, where hours and days of work just get resolved in a sentence (like oh btw i made it all interior playable and modular for better gameplay, like jeez, that went by so fast i cant even truly absorb the greatness of this build).
    Its all encapsulated in the sheer madness of driving out to the rohan location just for a quick intro :D WAAAY to much work for us man! i hope your doing ok financialy wise after the move and with the family, bc you sure as hell deserve it!

Personally I'm more of a 40K guy, but following this project has made me curious on the GW Lord of the rings line. However, so far I have slated my thirst on War of the Ring the boardgame.

    Mithlond is without a doubt my favourite location in all of Middle Earth and Beleriand. What it stands for in Tolkiens Mythology, Círdan, its emotional impact to end the story in the trilogy, all of it. I do hope you finish and get to play on it in a timely manner.
