Somehow I’m imagining this massive table being only 1/3 of the whole “board” with a table of the Pelennor as the central 1/3 and a table of Minas Tirith as the final 1/3. Oh s*** add another table with ithilien! 😲And another with the mountains of shadow and Minas ithil! 😁 Zorpazorp eventually building the entirety of Middle-Earth in board form confirmed! 😬
okay, what you do is rent a warehouse. Then you build Kamino. After you've built Kamino with working doors and led lights with complete interior you get a large pool. I don't care where you get a pool that'll cover the warehouse but you'll get it. Now you fill the pool with water. You'll get a purifier and a pump so the water stays water. Now you put your swimsuits on and battle. After this you'll want to contemplate on life and what you'll do with your warehouse pool Kamino board.
I've meant to do that for so long! I never bought into legion because of my local gaming community at the time, but I very nearly bought the clone wars box to scratch make just that! (Based off the OG battlefront 2)
3:34 - Treebeard just hanging out. I also loved seeing those throwbacks of you and Jackson playing as children, so wholesome. The board looks immaculate so far.
I love the stonework and the board layout, I would be interested to see the Dome of Stars mounted on one side of the river close to a bridge even if it’s not on an isle anymore
You're mad Lachie, absolutely mad!!!! That Apoxy sculpt is great stuff hey?!? The perfect solution for something like this. This layout is looking amazing man. Keeping a keen eye on this one dude. Sooooo awesome. 😍
You're inspiring me to try and push past my newbie-but-also-perfectionist double creativity block and just start making some terrain, man. This stuff is absolutely incredible, have a sub.
This looks amazing! Can't wait to see the full Osgiliath board with all the alleys, streets and ruins. I love the vibe that Osgiliath has an I'm so glad that you're bringing it alive so well:D Congrats on the amazing job;)
It's hilarious I saw the title of the video and clicked on it just because I wanted to type "YES" in the comments and the start of the video already did that hahaha Really love your terrain heavy boards! To me they're the only rewarding way to table top wargame!!
yesss new Zorpazorp video. Ive just gotten back into LOTR SBG your channel is awesome so keen to play watching your battle reports! Thanks for the effort you put into the videos mate.
What I like about this so far is it ads large-scale terrain but also playable unlike a lot of times we just see someone make this large scale terrain you can't really do much with it
Holy crap you almost gave the exact dimensions of my new hell table!!!!! Its 6 feet wide by 18 feet long:)! I tried putting all my hell terrain on it and FAILED! I'm going to try and do themed areas of hell now. There just seems to be to much terrain but I'll see what I can do. I SOOOOOOO LOVE what your doing Buddy!!!! Giant builds are a blessing and a curse!!! The way you have pulled the greater community together along with the MONUMENTAL work that you have slaved though is so INSPIRING!!!! I wish you the best of luck sharing your dreams with us!!!!
This looks amazing. Will you do any water pouring for the flooded streets? Also I like it in this community that people shout-out eachother for cool stuff, keeps an open source feel to it all. Keep up the good work.
Amazing! I can't wait to see the next video. The modelling compound + rollers give such a great effect, definitely going to have to invest in some of them.
That’s bananas. Absolutely bonkers but such a cool layout and idea for a gaming board. On the topic of putty, maybe it’s a worth a shot to get in touch with Apoxie Sculpt(it’s made by… Aves I think?) and see if they’d sponsor a video and just send you a ton of the stuff to use on the board.
Thanks buddy, I'm really trying to make them as interesting and high quality as I can, takes me a bit longer to get videos out than many creators, but you guys seem to be enjoying that approach :)
Hahaha yes to all! Thankfully I have the whole Brissy community painting shit for me, and by that I mean Sam and Callan, they've basically done it by themselves the fiends
Having visions of this 5 years down the line where Lachie has bought a sports hall to host a board that seemlessly connects every part of the Gondor at War Campaign. And/or adding Minas Morgul on the other side
Not gonna lie. When you started cutting up your Osgiliath board last episode, i was a bit nervous. But this is already so much better. I wholeheartedly belive you made the right decision.
And once again you continue to impress me man, while I have just started using a 3d printer for some models you are five levels above that. Amazing work and really looking forward to next update, cheers mate.
5:00 what do you mean by "optimising the best configuration"? Do you simply place buildings around until it feels natural? Or do you measure space between building, in order to have enough space for mobility, like having streets wide enough for 4 cavalry units (for example)? As our Master in stupidly big terrain, and since it probably affect playability, do you have personal rules for this? LOVE your work!!!
Great question Schmall!! A lot of factors are taken into account. First and foremost it needs to look realistic and match the reference as best as possible, but I also like to ensure there is a lot of restriction of line of sight to prevent massive shooting corridors, that there are lots of places for 40mm and 60mm bases to fit to prevent bottlenecks fro ma gaming perspective, and even one or two large spots where a 120x92mm base can fit too :) I always try to get stairs to fit two 25mm bases for example where possible for two ranks of fighting :)
Check out the old Osgiliath video, it's pretty terrible, first video made o nthe channel but it shows you the idea, other wise the stone carving video will give you a better way to do it but you'll need to adapt those technicques to smaller ruins :) ua-cam.com/video/oP9mfJNltlI/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/W8XKCjqVdgw/v-deo.html
I start to get confused whether you actually helped out building the original Minas tirith and osgilliath miniatures for the movies... you’re quite confident about it
AAAAAAAWWW YEAH! It's not just the modelling compound that's rock hard right now ;). Can't wait to see the board with all the rubble and fully painted. I'm assuming you will first finish this part before you build the rest?
I'm actually going to batch build them, so get them all, or at least most of them to this stage, then paint them all and do one masssssssssive resin pour haha!
Yes actually Tyler, I'm regretting not using thick marine ply, to be honest, I think I'll reinforce the panelling with a timber frame underneath before the pour :)
Barnes stock it bro, right here in Brissy although they're out at the moment thanks to yours truly, but they'll have it back in stock on their online store bu August apparently :)
Concerning modelling compound: I'll be experimenting making my own by mixing plaster and sieved sawdust. I've yet to try it, but I've read in railroad magazines, that this can lead to a product that dries even faster and has a finer texture to it in the end. Sounds like that could work with the roller pins?
Ooooooh that would be very cool I think Walter, have a nice natural grain which would be a very cool base texture! I might try adding in a bit of sawdust and see what it's like.
I wouldn't be surprised if you make a massive board with osgiliath at one end and minas tirith at the other with the pelennor and rammas echor in the middle 😁
love the content! One thing that bother me a little, is that all buildings are perfectly aligned. Perhaps miss some buildings that break the pattern? And for the river bank, wouldn't building sliding a little too ? Idem for the sinking too homogeneous. While preserving the border of the tile, some of the central elements could start sinking/tearing apart. Just details. want to see more!
There is a lottttt more rubble to go down around those as well as about half an iunch of resin :) trust me when the water is in they'll look dope! But yeah I might try a bit more higgeldy piggledy layout for the next block! Good suggestion Takkik!
Requesting STUPIDLY big playable Mos Eisley Could even add random pedestrians with CGI during video editing. And then more CGI the video after. Finally, you guessed it, more CGI during presenting the "finished" board

Ah cheers Glen, glad it could bring you some hobby joy! Feel better soon mate :)
Well your going to like it here the series I would recommend to watch is his 6by8 board
A stupidly large Kamino board for Star Wars legion sounds good . . . hint hint lol
Tell me about itttttt haha been planning it for so long!!! Who knows when it'll happen though ahah!

The use of the modelling compound with the rollers is an awesome technique. Can't wait to see it painted
Thank you very much!

This is incredible. The work you put into this hobby is second to none.
