Glad you enjoyed it :)
"Ere the sun rises" part is probably my favorite scene in all of the trilogy
So goooooood
OHHHHHHHH MYYYYYY GODDDDDDDDDDD. this is the biggest most awesome battle report ive ever seen. It'd be really cool if you create something of the same scale with your osgiliath board. amazing work lachie
Osgiliath up soon Raven!!!
@@Zorpazorp i hoping osgiliath with Boromir
@@wojta610cz5 it'll be the last defence of Osgiliath I think with Faramir and the rafts :D

Yep, that's the battle of the Pelennor
hahahaha I literally get chills everytime I'm editing the intro.

This brings back memories... We had a nice little group of regular players back in the day. Uruk-Hai were my go to and they ruled the board. Especially the bezerkers, backed up with a spear. They would cut through opponents.
They were beasts! Still great too!
It just shows how much passion is behind this game with the beginning overview alone
Thanks so much Pete :)
I can't hit the like button hard enough for this. This was just so amazing. The models, the terrain, the editing, the post-round-commentary. This is just everything that makes this the best mesbg channel. Just terrific. I can't wait to see the rest.
Thanks thanks DJ
Great battle and well edited report! However, I really would’ve like some close ups and low shots of your great armies!
Thanks Johnny!! We'll put more in next time!
Impressive!!! I'm currently painting my Pelennor fields box set, so this gives me even more motivation to get them painted!
Hell yeah! It's an awesome goal to work towards that's for sure!
I miss when it was just original LOTR from 2012. So much fun playing that at games workshop and they had a lot of amazing sceneries and minis for sale for it. Now barely anything on the website for the new earth middle version.
That's only because of Covid :) we get much more support bow than back in 2012, but obviously not as much as we did in the golden era of 2000-2005. But with Amazon around the corner who knows!
Zorpazorp no it isn’t. It’s been that way for while now, I quit games Workshop years ago after they started going to shit. I just hunt the miniatures on eBay now. Lots of great already painted lots. Used to be a great brand but no longer.
@@KandiKlover At least your still enjoying the Middle Earth system! :) best gaming system out there!
Wow
Everything is simply amazing!! The terrain is 5 stars and so are the minis!! I feel kinda bad about Rohan charging and losing, especially with the free heroic combats. With the mumaks and witch king coming I believe that there is not much that the good guys can do. I mean the army of the dead and the Gondor fiefdoms alliance are fine on resources but Rohan is low on might and that is key. I believe it will all depend on numbers now. Great video and hoping to see the next segment!!
Thanks Miguel!!! Glad you liked part one, part two is out!!
You did it!! You have NO idea how excited I was for this video! Absolutely amazing! It was worth watching through all the ads just to enjoy this battle. lol. Though, I am sad that I have to wait for part 2...but I'm also super excited for part 2! I can't wait to see how it all plays out! XD
Part two is out Jared!!!! Glad you enjoyed it bro, buckle;e up the conclusion is wild!
Zorpazorp oh my gosh! I watched it. That was absolutely insane. I wish I had the money right now so I could purchase all of those and play the battle myself. I honestly thought the entire battle was going to go much differently. it was awesome! Amazing work! 👏👍
This just looks insanely EPIC!! Stumbled across this (thanks RUclips - finally, something useful) and just love how cinematic and informative your intro was - have got chills already. We're a relatively new channel playing Age of Sigmar and there's loads of great stuff i'm seeing already in your video that i'd love to incorporate in our vids and i'm only 6mins in!! Have recently thought about getting into MESBG so am going to enjoy every single minute of this batrep - talk about cutting your teeth on a 10,000 point game with 6 players!! CAN.NOT.WAIT!! Greetings from the U.K. btw
Hey dude! Glad you enjoyed it! It's an amazing system, easily GWs best, you won't regret making the jump!
Zorpazorp cheers buddy. Def tempted to look into it when the lockdown is over!
Fantastic video guys, table and models look great, and love the movie clips/editing! Im getting back into the hobby for the first time in 15 or so years, and content like this really helps inspire!
Welcome back Mike! Glad you liked it :)
Oh wow, ending on a cliffhanger....you wound me
Fear not won't be long to wait 😊
Can’t wait to see how this will end (hopefully with a good win)
It's pretty tight at the moment isn't it!! FOUR MUMAKS INBOUND HAHA could be close :D
This was so epicly epic!! You've got yourself a subscriber! Love the narrative and turn overviews. Cannot wait for the next instalment! See those mamuks crush the forces of good!
Ah thanks for the support Jonathan, glad you enjoyed it! I can't wait for part two either!
I played an Angmar vs Isengard game the other day and Hurl was amazing! I used it with my moria army as well against an alliance of gindor and rohirrim. Just getting the potential to unseat, or knock prone even two or three enemies is amazing!
Great :)
Can you do this with helms deep too? ;)
Yes please!!!
Definitely at some point bro!
Jeeeesus Christ! This one is impressive Zorp! I already watched 25 Minutes straight and I am having the fun of my life. Please do more of this.
Hell yes dude glad you are enjoying the format 😊😊😊 lots more planned fear not!
That was cool.
Last time I was involved in a large LoRT battle was when GW did the Battle of the Last Alliance. The company had painted up hundreds of Orcs, Elves and Gondorians. Elves had Gil-Galad, Elrond and Gondor had Elendil and Isildur. That was a blast.
I ran Elendil with about another dozen Gondor soldiers...took out quite a few Orc before Sauron actually showed up 😁
The Last Alliance is on the list!! Should be doing it soon post Covid 19 of course.
D E Loved the lord of the rings game when it first came out. I remember buying the initial last alliance box that give you some elves some men and a lot of goblins and paints and a brush haha
The first game I ever played was a Moria board, I controlled the fellowship against many goblins and a cave troll.
12:04 I love the detail of the ork with the gondorian shield. I'm rooting for you little guy !!!
25:05 Little dude killed a Rohirrim. Keep it up buddy.
Hahaha yessss go little dude!
@@Zorpazorp I had to stop watching the video yesterday. I'm gonna watch the rest of it a little bit later today. But go, go, go !!!
47:21 Nooooooooooooooooooo !!! Little dude !!!
As soon as I saw this I clicked on it immediately, great channel and looking forward to future videos!
:)
Hell yeah dude! Glad we got you excited!
Watched a few different battle reps over the years. First time seeing you guys and it’s maybe the best. Love the edits and how quickly it all seems to move. Great job, gents
Thanks Dan! We're really trying to make it engaging and awesome to watch!
I mean that was awesome in every regard. In all the epic madness it was easy to follow and superbly edited a big credit to you all. Hope you are keeping safe and well, best of luck with editing part 2.
Thanks so much Hoggy, glad to see you're still enjoying it all mate 🥰 I'm really happy the edit made the chaos easy to follow that was a big.worry of mine haha
When I saw the thumbnail I was expecting a massive battle, what I saw when I watched the video however was kinda just a normal game with some more figures on a slightly bigger table. Good game though
350models not enough for you? Roger that!! THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN! MORE ON THE WAY 😁😁😁
i dont play those kind of tabletop myself but follow warhammer fantasy tabletop for many years now. I m glad this one here appeared in my recommendation.
Would be cool to see similar of this
Thanks so much for watching mate, LOTSSSSS more on the way :)
This battle report is crazy. I can't wait to see the one with the full scale Minas Tirith. Though I imagine a battle of that size would take an entire age to set up, play and record, edit and upload. Very impressive.
Yeah it's going to be stuipid!! haha
@@Zorpazorp And he's still replying to message on a year old video. What a guy
@@Breakdown10000X haha not all the time but I try to catch what I can :D
These guys showed more strategy than all of the armies of Gondor with their massive prep only to be wasted by charging their cavalry straight into death without utilizing any of their strategic advantages.
They did what Theoden told them to! DEAAAAAAAAAATTTHHHHH!!!!!
Someone give Ryan a pint, he's had a rough day
Poor bastard 😂😂
Wow best warhammer lord of the rings battle report I’ve ever seen
Keep it going lads
Thanks so much dude, lots more to come!
The Horn of the Harad gives me chills every time I hear it. Awesome work guys!
4 years later and I still enjoy watching this battle! Where did you get those unit cards?
Is this the biggest LOTR game ever put to film? Great work team.
I'd say s yeah haha :) More coming too!
@@Zorpazorp 20,000 point Last Alliance? XD Look forward to seeing what you come up with next.
@@JoelJoel321 Oooooh man that'd be a lottt tof models hahaha
Is there a computer version of this game to use as a way of learning the rules etc ..?
Tabletop simulator has a pretty good community I've heard :)
@@Zorpazorp Thank you :D I see you did Amon Sul! I also recently had a go, enjoyed it a lot!! Made a video too if you ever get a moment ;) Love what you are doing !
This is weirdly therapeutic. I somehow just couldn't look away XD
I'm glad dude!!!
A proper lore friendly Battle of the Pelennor Fields! Even calling Éowyn, Dernhelm! Love it.
Cheers Joe!
Now that's a fine intro/resumé. Can't wait to see what the whole terrain piece looks like, especially with all the miniatures.
I believe the dragon knight still counts towards shieldwall even though he does not have a shield :)
You are correct! Amdur too!
Cool set up. See professional paint jobs in the mix. That many figures, definitely need more than 2-3 players. I tried the Battle of Pelennor Fields Solitaire (minus the Warriors of the Dead because they just don't belong there) and took me 3 days to complete. Love the Osgiliath ruins too bad don't have the Rammas Echor.
Thanks Roman, glad you enjoyed it mate!!! We've got lots more big battles to come so stay tuned!
When’s the next one mate?! I’m dying here in anticipation! ❤
ruclips.net/video/u8R2v9Ntirw/видео.htmlfeature=shared part two
That poor lad rolling all the ones lmao. Thank god he is a good sport.
A mighty struggle. I needed all my stamina to see it through to the end. Now for the next instalment . .
Thanks bro 😁😁😁
Ending gave me bloody chills. Exciting.
Cheers bru :)
The guy controlling Gondor was cheat rolling every chance 😂
His dice were hot!
I thought War of the Ring figures were discontinued. I'm surprised to see these figures once again
That's a strong no ;) this is the third biggest GW system and it's absolutely booming :) the new edition in 2018 gave them game a whole new lifeblood and with Amazon around the corner it's about to explode 😊😊
@@Zorpazorp Interesting! Still have a giant tin dwarven army laying around since the early days. Nice to hear its gaining some momentum again, always loved these little highly armored guys
@@TopDesu The old dwarf metals are amazing sculpts! I still use them over the plastics :D
I feel the same way, I have 3 armies sitting in my cupboard from over a decade ago surprised to see this still around.
What's Amazon?
@@Killer66hitman New Lord of the Rings tV series being produced by Amazon for prime :)
So, i did some maths.
And, im scared.
At todays prices, with much roundings and guesstimating.
The minis on this board, not including the terrain, is approx
3353 monies.
WTF.
Yeah it's a pretty big collection hahaha, that was about nine different people pooling their stuff though :)
Ahh, I remember the days playing War of the Ring :) This is a huge battle for using the normal SBG rules, but for WotR this is nothing. I owned that many models in my Morder army alone lol. Still have them somewhere.
We'll defintiely experiement with some WotR soon! I might even use a bit of a hybrid system soon!
He's got the big old WOOO CHING 1:13:28,
rather fitting that your Pelennor fields board is only decorated with dead Rohirrim modules
I know right hahahaha
I actually just enjoy watching painted stuff on well made table + loving LOTR
Same here!
This is the first time I discovered your channel and 3:53 had my jaw drop he looks so close to sam I swear for a moment I thought he was the real actor xD Anyways what a great battle so far can't wait to watch myself the second part. Earned a sub today ♥
Hahahaha hell yes, thanks for watching bro, glad you enjoyed 😊😊😊
Havent seen a big lord of the ring battle report in such a long time
Lots more on the way my friend :D
Those chariots of Khand are awesome man.
They're phenomenal! I'll be doing a bit hobby vlog on my Khand army at some point 😁 this year
OH MY GOSH. THIS IS MY DREAM!!! Rohan will save the day!!!
FORTH EORLINGASSSSSS!!!!
Ever since i got into tabletop stuff when i was 11 i wanted to do lord of the rings stuff. Now 21 and although i bought a few kits such as mines of Moria i never properly collected middle earth miniatures as no one (and believe me i checked) no one here collects it. Thanks to finding your channel over last year's lockdown though you inspired me to finally get involved! finished up my pelennor fields box set and now about to start an Osgiliath themed army
Hell yeah Wulver that's amazing! Make sure you link up with the region based Facebook groups like the 'Great British Hobbit League' etc etc
Fantastic details on the map and minis, first time seeing MESBG in action!
Glad you liked it Dennis!!!
Great battle report i had few attempts to do, at least similar battle, with my friends. Glad U did and we have youtube. Why Minas Tirith walls are "inside" to the filed? For exp. look at the stairs.
That's the Rammas Echor, a stone out of ring wall that protects the polenta and the farm lands within not the walls of minas Tirith 😊 glad you enjoyed it bro thanks for watching!
You are SPOILING us Lachlan! We don’t deserve this!
Lots more on the way too ;)
I love the gondorians it gives the battle a good narrative and some extra colour blue
This dude is sauced tf up in that intro. Hell yeah brother burn that green😂😂
Finally..! Looking forward to digging in! Great work chaps 👍🏼
Long time coming aye haha
More slower camera closeups to see the sweet minis and terrain! Great bat rep Zorpazorp.
Thanks dude! Yeah this was my first time with the new gimbal I'm better with it now :)
See the reason Orry was given a force not playing instantly is because he is brutal, damn Gundabad force haha
Hahaha very true
I believe with hurl as RAW in the rulebook, you dont indicate which models are hit using a 25mm marker, its if the (imaginary) straight line that you draw passes over those models are affected. Thats how i've always played it and seen it played before. Care to shed some light if I am mistaken :)
Hey Joshy! A common misconception, you draw the line for establishing direction and then the rulebook literally says "move the nominated model the full distance... any models passed through, including those underneath its final position." :D
@@Zorpazorp Ah I see. Well it seems I've been playing this wrong this entire time... lol
@@93broome happens to me all the time haha
I'm new, why would you not take a fate when being hit?
In case you receive a wound late on from a special attack that can deal multi wounds which gets blocked by a single fat point.
If this was a matched play game and the wound was on a leader who you nee dot keep unwounded you would absolutely spend it :)
52:40 12 inch banners are a rare sight but always impressive
Everyone can safely admit that we all got hyped up to this scene… 😂
Omg! How cool is this Epic Battle-Report ! Can Not wait to See how it ends😍
Part two is out now!
Probably the best SBG battle report out there, great work!
Wait till you see the one in April haha
Oh god what is coming out in April!?!
Absolutely awesome battle report. One small mistake though. You can't support with a pike through a spear. Have never seen such a large battle on such a lovely board. Excellently edited too. Easy and enjoyable to follow along with.
You're spot on! thanks so much dude, glad you enjoyed it, I was really hoping the editing would make such a massive battle watchable!
It made it more than watchable lad. Can't wait for part two now.
@@TheDraenus Almost finished!!! Should have it up in maybe ten hours
It's an awesome concept. It just irks me that it's the army of the Dead from Harlond and not Grey Company and Fiefdoms.
Grey Company are there too, Halbarad, the twins and 12 Rangers, I just didn't have any claims when I blame it on so he boosted the warriors of the dead :)
@Joe Appleby Yeah the Clansmen of Lamedon are pricey haha!!
The film did make some interesting choices, I always lament the portrayal of Denethor too but I understand that many concessions have to be made for film :)
this inspired me to get a pelennor fields battle in with my brother, only on a much, much... MUCH smaller scale :D we do have one mumak though so thats something and the important heroes will be there as well, just not as many warriors on each side and without the sweet sweet board
Amazing! That's my afternoon sorted!
Part two out now as well Craig!
Great table! What did you use for all the casualties?
ruclips.net/video/30cuAwHCQu8/видео.html
@@Zorpazorp Very cool! Must have been fun to make and play on.
dang, now I need to spend 12 hours watching lord of the rings and dig through my mountain of lead.....Love your work!
Hehehe yesssss
Damn Lachie and the boys. That was an absolutely awesome batrep. I enjoyed that thoroughly and can't wait for the next part.
Cheers Azza!! Glad you enjoyed it man, part two very soon :D
Man this is amazing, excellent work Zorp! bravo
Thanks so much mate :D
It has arrived! The Battle for Mundburg!
Your time will come servant of Sauron!
good lord that entrance got me all kinds of hyped up.
Hell yeah Dan
I just love your passion so much. We may be a pond apart, but your passion inspires me to be a better tabletop gamer!
Dammit, That beginning got me right in the feels.. thank you
You are most welcome
Nice Batrep :) Just remember, you cannot use might for impact hits.
Fantastic battle , ... quickly second half please
Will be out today! :)
Did you buy or make those tiles youre using for this board? I'd love to get a few to use in my own games!
Gotta love how Locke is actually rooting for Rohan XD
Can't go back on my horselords
Loved it man! Can't wait for the next part :)
Cheers Hakazu me too!
Hello good sir! I am trying to decide which army I should play sterling's or bin for which is better for a beginner player?
Sterling's or bin? Hahaha damn autocorrect, I'm guessing thats Easterlings or.... Maybe orcs? Haha
Unreal game! Single handedly creating new ME WH players!!
That's the dream Jonathon!!! Glad you enjoyed it mate!
This is absolutely incredible! Great work!
Cheers bro, glad you enjoyed it 😁😁
This is so beautiful I cried
It's okay Egor, when it finally exported after eight hours of rendering away I cried too 😂
Hey zorp, awesome channel. Im new to middle earth sbg. Just got a quick question about re rolls . Does a re roll stand? Cause it says re rolls stand in the latest (2018) rule book. Ive just noticed that when heroes with multiple attacks re roll one of the strikes in a duel in this game. You then go back and might one of the other strikes that was not part of the re roll ( due to a banner. Or for example maybe gil galads lord of the west re-roll )
Wow!! So good!! How do you always have the coolest looking boards? I’m curious as to how or where you get the dead warriors for scatter terrain. That adds so much!
Because I make themmmmm :D :D :D
Jeeeez trolls throwing people is super OP. Feel like it shouldn't go through ranks its just a person not a bolt thrower...or for each subsequent person it hits the strength should be lowered. To simulate the loss of momentum after hitting the first guy.
This hurl is wayyyyyy less good then the old edition too haha! They are absolutely super strong though.
Brilliant, this has made my day 😁
That's aweomse Adam!
If some of those dice aren’t loaded, I want some of that luck.
I send lucky thoughts to all my patrons ;)
