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)
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
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.
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.
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. 😍
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;)
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!!!!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
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.
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
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
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 :) ruclips.net/video/oP9mfJNltlI/видео.html ruclips.net/video/W8XKCjqVdgw/видео.html
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
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 :)
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 :)
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!
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!
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 😁
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 :)
So how long before the ultimate board? Osgiliath, into the Pelennor Field's board & lastly to the outer walls of Minas Tirith? The one board to rule them all? Probably half a football field haha

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!

You really have gotten this down to an art. Incredible job Lachie!
Thanks so much Iain!
The use of the modelling compound with the rollers is an awesome technique. Can't wait to see it painted
Thank you very much!
A "trip to the lumberyard"... Is that what you call going down Bunnings for a sneaky snag Lachie?
It is indeeeeed ;)
Title: Asks a Question.

Haha cheers Matty
Jesus dude, this is impressive! Every single time I watch your videos, it makes me want to get back into the game! Keep this shit up my dude!
Will do Jimmy!!! And you definitely should :D
I think the beginning of this is already incredible! The passion, techniques, and ideas is rampant.
Thanks mate!!

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 :)
