Missed ya Lauchie, great video as always, your MASSIVE Gondor Megaboard inspired me to Create a Erebor Valley Megaboard where you can take a model from the throne of erebor right up to the city of Dale, is already underway and really happy with how it’s coming along, anyway just wanted to say what an inspiration you have been as well as being a fellow Aussie❤👍

Man, so glad to see you back! You've been pivotal in recruiting people in my area to MESBG! And your return comes with this glorious board. Looking forward toward more of your content, dude. Keep on keepin on!

I still can't comprehend the size of this gaming board and imagine setting a mini with a move of six inches and marching it to the opposite end insane. Your creations are definitely on another level.

Love the job you are doing. It's incredible and impressive. And I am happy to hear that the live streams will come back I miss them.
Great to see more Lotr content! Cannot wait for the upcoming videos. I have a feeling there may be a certain bat rep with minis from around the world, including possibly some custom Fiefdoms... 😉 I may be wrong but I hope not!
Simply beautiful! You have really mastered the building techniques for this. Great idea to have some hybrids that work as a visual link between the plastic kits and the pure foam buildings. It will really tie it all together.

This is awesome, I have an interesting relationship with MESB - my first ever mini I painted in a GW store was Gandalf. I almost bought more Middle Earth stuff but for some reason I thought that once the films were over...nobody would be playing MESBG. Return of the King was around the corner and I didn't want to invest in a game series that was on a timer. ...so I bought Warhammer fantasy instead. Haha, think I'm going to buy myself the osgiliath box for christmas.

Lachy couldn’t just make his life easier and use the plastic kit GW made that had auspiciously released midway through the build. Nooooo, Lachy has to go the extra mile yet again because Lachy is a crazy person. I kid of course, the build is looking great and you’re really making that mountain of plastic stretch even further with all the additional foam carving.
