I am so damn happy with how this beast is coming together, the stuff of childhood dreams and we are getting it done FAST!!!! To be finally going on this journey with the support of Wētā Workshop is just incredible. The summer weather, the old Rohan metal models, the sound of the battle of Helms Deep as I'm working, this is just PEAK nostalgia, and I cannot wait to give you all a finished Helms Deep video for Christmas
definitley very cool - makes me wanna watch lotr again (not even the biggest fan :D) BUT its not as cool as the guy thats building the Cyberpunk Quadra Car :D
Yeah well if ERIC got his bloody act together and gave us an update on the BLOODY TITAN hes building it might get displaced to second coolest thing on geek tube ! .
I know the 3D prints/plastic kits are super good but there's something so satisfying about seeing hand built foam stuff. That and the natural formations really pulls things together. One of my favourite videos for a long while. Can't wait for the batrep. It'd be so cool to do a big collaboration with Conquest creations for some massive battles
Once the ground texture and flock goes down, it's really going to pop. That's awesome news, too. Conquest are such a great channel. Can't wait for that video to come out!
@@Zorpazorp I think the way you're doing things is perfect! Repeatable terrain that can be done and be touched up with only some customization (vines, mud, etc) should be 3D printed. Other stuff that isn't repeatable should be custom made. Mixing the 2, you can turn a 1 man operation into a significant work force. 😊 Source: a 3D printing enthusiast of 10 years, who has on multiple occasions done the work of 5 people while studying in Uni and working a part time job 😂
They get slammed very hard haha. Imagine poor bricky. Just watching new foilies come and go week in, week out. While he soldiers on, slowly wearing, but never enough to go to his own long rest.
This is by far the best video you have uploaded in recent times. Its great how you show off the biggature and movie references so the viewer is always aware of what is being built and can start to imagine the first sections of foam, understanding where in the bigger model it will sit. A good balance of handcrafted stuff and 3D models to keep things interesting. There isnt many lingering pauses and the completion is just stunning. When i thought it couldnt be topped you assembled the whole board with miniatures. Amazing work, keep it up! I'm so impressed by how this board is coming together.
Looks incredible! I'm really buzzed to be seeing the interior layout of the fortress, for some reason it never occurred to me to wonder how deep into the cliffs it went. Anyway, now that I see it, you know what you should've used to prop up the hall? A mini-fridge for gaming nights!
Really, this Helms Deep series made me an even bigger fan of your channel than I was before. Awesome how it turned out, you really exceeded my expectations there.
Duuuude!!! OMG thats incredible! I love how complete it is and that is the mother of all tabletop rock faces, excellent video really loved it thank you
Man, this rock face is just absolutely gorgeous. It really pops and ties the whole piece together. I can't wait for the next level of detail on this. Some grass here and there and some shrubbery. As soon as this month is over. Consider me signed in on the patron. I really want to see these projects go to their deserved achievement.
Gosh I love it! I started at an early age due to my dad ordering the Lotr Tabletop magazines. When they showed how to make Helms Deep, we wanted to do this so Badly. We already recreated weathertop and balins Grave. As well es some Houses for Bree(still in my dads basement). We Both love the Trilogy and the books. I Even Play an Orc in German Larp, based on LOTR lore due to my love for Tolkiens world. Its sad that it never happened. My dad is still around but we got disconnected. I started painting Minis again, a few weeks ago and want to Build a huge pelenor Field diorama in the Future. He is also still working on some stuff but got detached to tabletop. I am so glad seeing the Mega Board Come to live. Its my childhood dream, that you are living Right now. Please keep up! Not only recreating the Locations, but also visiting them, as well as working with and visiting weta. That is a huge W! I love everything that you are doing and your ditcation to all This. You are making my Dream Come true! ❤️
Fanstastic board locky :) Glad to see you focus on the rear section. I too am focusing on this part of the fortress for my own EPIC Helm Deep build. Lol I actually have two Helm Deep builds coming out, (reason for that) one this year and one next year. If you think I'm a bit mad, well because of you dude. My biggest wipe off sweat moment is the fact my build is different to yours ha ha. Keep up the good work.
to even out the back of the build you can always build the glittering caves among the supports beneath the castle, seams of silver, gold and gems so beautiful a dwarf dare not mine them
Holy crap this is incredible! I've absolutely loved watching this project. A good visible end point, and incredible progress. Really hope the algorithm gives this series the attention it deserves!
All the pieces are coming together and this is already looking absolutely fantastic! Massive work against time that will definitely pay off once finished
Only reason GW hasn't included all your gamingboards in their Warhammer world is that it's physically impossible to ship these over half of the globe. One of your best videos ever❤
looks incredible. ofcourse you have to do a report of the full sized massive battle of helms deep, but i'd love to see some of the micro scenarios from the war in rohan book on this beast. they would be very simple to film too given the reduced scope
I've been watching along since Edoras vs.1, and you've made so many great projects, but this might just be the very best. As well as looking great, the 3D prints are such a good time saver. I was thinking how long it would take to hand make all the columns inside the main hall. It would be a whole video, but you can barely see them! I'm super glad you can smash out huge progress on this one, and with such enthusiam
I love all your mega builds and theyre something I havent see any other creator match. As much as I love 40k and DoW, you've single handedly reinvigorated my love for LotR as GW continually denies me models. You have to be the biggest MESBG champion on the internet.
Your builds are incredible and let’s be honest completely unrivalled! Helms deep is looking amazing! Looking forward to seeing the battle reports on them.
That is beautiful work Zorp,even as a work in progress it's awesome. The detail and the work you put into this is a delight to watch.Look forward to seeing this incredible model of Helms Deep continue to grow .
Amazing! I´m looking forward to how you´re going to make the gorge from which the Deeping Stream emerges, and where the majority of the horses were kept, and to which Eomer and Gimli retreated in the book. In other words, please make it book accurate rather than screen accurate! :) Or maybe build two versions of the area behind the Deeping Wall. One book accurate and one screen accurate, and make them switchable.
I thought the last Helms Deep build was good but adding in this new section and the cliffs has taken it from good to exceptional. Cannot wait to see what the final project looks like
This is absolutely brilliant and insane! The scale is epic! Finally someone gave some love to the back side of this fortress ❤ Cannot wait to see the next part 💪
Now you have done loads of content for Middle Earth builds and stuff. But this one just knocked it out the park dude. Absolutely beautiful build so far. Also, you are very funny and I chuckled out a few times whilst watching this. Can’t wait for the next part now. All the best 👍🏻🤘🏻
I was wondering if you would ever get to do a dwarf-hold in my lifetime. This wicked fast progress on Helm's Deep gives me hope I'll see you tackle the Lonely Mountain someday...!
This is possibly the best video I’ve ever seen. You are literally living out my life long dream since I saw the movies and started collecting the GW models when I was about 8. You are making a lot of hobbyists… very happy… and jealous of your massive workshop haha!! Good work! Thankyou for giving me this joy! Genuinely! I always wondered how they get from the back stair well through to the main keep, I guess it’s that little door at the top of the ruined inner circle walled gatehouse!! Also, can you please make the rest of the surrounding landscape I.e. the glittering cave system, the tryhurne mountain, helms dyke the deeping Combe and the rest of the Westfold vale 😂 please!
Blown away. It must be the best warhammer lotr board on the planet… Games workshop should really promote this build somehow for their new set. I’ve never played warhammer but this makes me want to get into it asap.

This is possibly the coolest project on RUclips.
Wow thank you Brian!
definitley very cool - makes me wanna watch lotr again (not even the biggest fan :D)
BUT its not as cool as the guy thats building the Cyberpunk Quadra Car :D
Hacksmith is making literal power armour..
This is definitely the best project for miniatures content in my opinion though.
Agree, side by side with the Imperial Palace
Yeah well if ERIC got his bloody act together and gave us an update on the BLOODY TITAN hes building it might get displaced to second coolest thing on geek tube ! .

One of my favourite videos for a long while. Can't wait for the batrep. It'd be so cool to do a big collaboration with Conquest creations for some massive battles
Thanks man, yeah the big hybrid of materials is the way hey, makes it all so satisfying! Jakey is flying over in January for just that!
Once the ground texture and flock goes down, it's really going to pop. That's awesome news, too. Conquest are such a great channel. Can't wait for that video to come out!

Maaaaaaaaaate! This truly is the board of our time
Aww thank you mate :)
Just unbelievably excellent. The texture team (foilie and brickie) need a raise
They get slammed very hard haha. Imagine poor bricky. Just watching new foilies come and go week in, week out. While he soldiers on, slowly wearing, but never enough to go to his own long rest.
Looking MASSIVE. Cant wait for a battle report on this beast.❤
Me (as Gimli): Legolas! Two [painted pieces of terrain] already!
Zorpazorp (as Legolas):
This is it, this is the perfect summary of these mega board videos
This is living a terrainmakers dream through your videos. Amazing content, amazing builds! Happy to be here for the ride!
Aww thank you Hippo!

Up up up up up the stairs we go. :)
AND THEN IT'S INTO THE TUNNEL.. CAVES? HJaha thanks as always Sahidko you legend
@@Zorpazorp deserved as always :)
My new favourite Zoro project after Grey Havens
Thank you mate :) Hoping to sqeeuze in a Grey Havens update in maybe February
These type of videos are the reason why I subscribed to your channel so many years ago...
Glad you're still enjoying it mate :)
Looks incredible! I'm really buzzed to be seeing the interior layout of the fortress, for some reason it never occurred to me to wonder how deep into the cliffs it went. Anyway, now that I see it, you know what you should've used to prop up the hall? A mini-fridge for gaming nights!
This is insanity. Beautiful, amazing, incredible, astonishing insanity! Keep it up, I'm loving seeing how it's coming together.
Hahaha thank you Kieran!!!
Really, this Helms Deep series made me an even bigger fan of your channel than I was before. Awesome how it turned out, you really exceeded my expectations there.
Aww thank you so much mate, it's been a joy to make!
Sometimes it's good to wake up at 3:00 in the morning. Great video!
Happy to interrupt your sleep haha
That is huge can't wait to see Rohan defend this complete beast of a board . You are truly the master of massive scenery.
Duuuude!!! OMG thats incredible! I love how complete it is and that is the mother of all tabletop rock faces, excellent video really loved it thank you
Ah cheers Davey
That's by far the best scenery build I've seen on RUclips
Thank you so much Nicolas, high praise!!
Man, this rock face is just absolutely gorgeous. It really pops and ties the whole piece together. I can't wait for the next level of detail on this. Some grass here and there and some shrubbery. As soon as this month is over. Consider me signed in on the patron. I really want to see these projects go to their deserved achievement.
You are an absolutely insane crafter. I do not think there is someone making playable Dioramas at this scale and detail anywhere else!
Thank you so much!!
Gosh I love it!

That is a huge W!

Théoden rave gets me every time 😂 honestly the keep is just insane, this is now definitely my favourite build ever 🎉
Fanstastic board locky :)

Oh my god,, man this is amazing. Can't wait to see the hordes of Saruman storm that Deeping wall.
You and me both Luke!

Thank you very much Mario! Hope you're doing well mate :)
It’s coming along so well! Glad to see you’re keeping it playable without sacrificing the overall look. Well done!
Only reason GW hasn't included all your gamingboards in their Warhammer world is that it's physically impossible to ship these over half of the globe. One of your best videos ever❤
Love the build. It's super cool to see what you can do with a 3D print as your base. The rockwork is also awesome. How heavy is the build already?
It's actually not too bad! The plaster is very lightweight stuff, probabaly like 40kg?
Your builds are always an inspiration, and Helms Deep is looking absolutely gorgeous. Your work is just so good!
Thank you very much!
It looks absolutely stunning and it's not even finished yet. You are the king of scenery builders, awesome work as always!!
The reoccuring hobbit rave running joke should find its way into every video. I have spoken.
Don't tempt me Frodo hahaha
Absolutely epic! Your talent is inspiring mate. What a piece to have in your collection. Canr wait to see the games on it.
Thanks heaps Chrissy, it's been a whole lotta fun! And yesss imagine the battles haha
This is gorgeous! Great video!
Thanks heaps mate, really appreciate it!
'We have the Hornburg at home.' It's freaking glorious, you're the man!
it looks amazing, I can't wait until it's ready, thanks for the video 👌👍👊
This gives me chills to see how good is looking, wish I could do this stuff.
That looks incredible. Awesome work
Thank you! Cheers!
"But my lord there is no such force."
I cannot wait to see the scale of that Uruk Hai legion marching on this.
Best crafting channel on RUclips BY FAR!!!! You are crushing it!
so talented looks amazing
Thank you Laurence!
This thing is so ridiculous , it's almost unbelievable. Cannot wait to see it finished
Thank you mate, I can't wait either haha
looks incredible. ofcourse you have to do a report of the full sized massive battle of helms deep, but i'd love to see some of the micro scenarios from the war in rohan book on this beast. they would be very simple to film too given the reduced scope
Yes me toooo!!!! Some of the little ones within the big board would be classic!
I've been watching along since Edoras vs.1, and you've made so many great projects, but this might just be the very best. As well as looking great, the 3D prints are such a good time saver.

I am completely geeking out with this project!!!! Some of the most beautiful results I’ve ever seen on RUclips!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We need more patrons!! Lachie needs a proper chop saw and table saw so he can build more wood structures
This is AMAZING!!!
Those are 100% the BEST painted cliffs you've ever done, holy shit they look so good!
Looking really excellent! Crazy how good and natural the leopard spotting technique looks
Although it’s not done- the scale, paint, and excitement is incredible.
Helm’s deep is gonna be amazing to watch on fold for battles.
This was absolutely awesome! I can’t wait to see the epic battle report on this masterpiece
Thank you mate!!
Incredible work. Just imagining the amount of effort needed makes my hands cramp up.
Stunning work as usual! The depth of the castle behind the front cliff facade is really impressive!
Once Helm's Deep itself is done, might need some plains for all those thousands of Uruk-hai :)
Love the build, its awesome to see it come to life.
Your builds are incredible and let’s be honest completely unrivalled! Helms deep is looking amazing! Looking forward to seeing the battle reports on them.
It's looking awesome man, can't wait to see it finished. Question though, aren't they steps going to be a bit difficult to stand models on?
Blue tac mate :) Screen accuracy wins out on those for sure.
This is so well done! I get so excited waiting for these videos to come out! I love how Helms Deep is shaping up!
That is beautiful work Zorp,even as a work in progress it's awesome. The detail and the work you put into this is a delight to watch.Look forward to seeing this incredible model of Helms Deep continue to grow .
Amazing!
I´m looking forward to how you´re going to make the gorge from which the Deeping Stream emerges, and where the majority of the horses were kept, and to which Eomer and Gimli retreated in the book. In other words, please make it book accurate rather than screen accurate! :) Or maybe build two versions of the area behind the Deeping Wall. One book accurate and one screen accurate, and make them switchable.
100% want to incorporate a caves entrance in the gorge so I can do the Gimli and Eomer retreat!
This is coming along absolutely superbly!!! Keep up this amazing content.
Thank you so much!
I'm off work sick today, and this was perfect
Hope you feel better soon mate and glad to lighten the sick day!
I did not expect this to be as big as it is!! Outstanding, can't wait to see what is to come
Watching you pour your heart into this beautiful build, you're as industrious as an orc! Looking fowards to many years of handmade Flagstones mate^^
Loving this! Can't wait for Edoras. Just needs a statue of Helm Hammerhand somewhere!
These vids and most of the Zorpazorp family of channels keep me inspired to paint and work on terrain! Please keep it up!
The amount of work in this 23 minute video is utterly ridiculous! You are on fire 🔥
I thought the last Helms Deep build was good but adding in this new section and the cliffs has taken it from good to exceptional. Cannot wait to see what the final project looks like
When the wrong part of the wall snapped I felt that physically and jumped a bit
Love the timelapse of the flagstones, "That's not a CNC machine... that's a ZAZ" (ZorpAZorp)
This video was absolutely insane. I’m in awe of how good this is looking!!
This is incredible!!! The most realistic looking board you have done!
Seeing the progress is really nice! Looks so good!!
Thank you! Cheers!
I’m Im having fun watching every time, even knowing it’s involving foily and bricky again. :) Keep it up!
Thanks awesome to hear mate!
It's so massive🤯
The shots with figures for scale are just insane! Great work Lachie👏👏👏
Zorplord, this is beyond amazing... You truly bow to no one! Very proud to be a patreon!
Wētā Workshop give him a job, his work is on par with top lvl films , keep up the great content, looking forward to finish build and nxt projects
I'm so addicted to these videos! They are a huge inspiration for my own hobby time too! :)
I really enjoy the weekly videos on LotR stuff and the pace of progress feels a lot more satisfying than the Imperial palace.
Wow, this is coming along amazingly! Really good work, man. Keen to see the completed build. It's making me want to upgrade mine!
Sauron: "Give me a gaming table worthy.... of Mordooooor"
Zorpa: "Challenge accepted
And then we connect it to others!"
This is absolutely brilliant and insane! The scale is epic! Finally someone gave some love to the back side of this fortress ❤ Cannot wait to see the next part 💪
Thumbs up for making it so playable!
This is looking incredible! I think it might be my favourite project yet!
Now you have done loads of content for Middle Earth builds and stuff. But this one just knocked it out the park dude. Absolutely beautiful build so far. Also, you are very funny and I chuckled out a few times whilst watching this. Can’t wait for the next part now. All the best 👍🏻🤘🏻
That rock face looked insanely realistic all of a sudden! Man, I actually really wish I had access to this. Maybe you should rent these boards out 😂
Amazing skills are needed to build this wonderful diorama. Congratulations!
I still can't believe we get to witness this being made... Amazing work! 🙂
Man, I was hyped for this build, and it is looking so amazing! Totally smashing my expectations
I was wondering if you would ever get to do a dwarf-hold in my lifetime. This wicked fast progress on Helm's Deep gives me hope I'll see you tackle the Lonely Mountain someday...!
This is such a cool project. It looks exactly like in the movie I can’t wait to see it with minis
This is possibly the best video I’ve ever seen. You are literally living out my life long dream since I saw the movies and started collecting the GW models when I was about 8. You are making a lot of hobbyists… very happy… and jealous of your massive workshop haha!! Good work! Thankyou for giving me this joy! Genuinely!
I always wondered how they get from the back stair well through to the main keep, I guess it’s that little door at the top of the ruined inner circle walled gatehouse!!
Also, can you please make the rest of the surrounding landscape I.e. the glittering cave system, the tryhurne mountain, helms dyke the deeping Combe and the rest of the Westfold vale 😂 please!
This looks amazing, dude! The dream is getting more real by the day! Congrats on the work so far.
This board looks so damn sick... Really enjoying the size of this one, as well. It feels both accurate and weirdly attainable.
LOVING the Helms Deep stuff. Brilliant work!
Awesome! This is shaping up really well! Keep these coming, I am very excited to see the whole thing!
What a freaking cool and impressive board!
Ah cheers Tobias!
Blown away. It must be the best warhammer lotr board on the planet… Games workshop should really promote this build somehow for their new set. I’ve never played warhammer but this makes me want to get into it asap.
DUDE!!! Much Respect... I would love to be able to work projects like this... inspiring my man... keep up the good work .
