Just as a suggestion maybe add a small strip of gaming board between the grassy fields and sinking city that blends them together because just laying a board that's 100% brick city next to a 100% mud-grass open field does not transition well, so having a small transitioning board would look better way better and you don't really need any more buildings just something to transition from river city to open fields. I think out of the entire piece it looks wierd but I can see you just want to include every scene from that battle and shorten the distance between the three main locations which makes it look slightly janky but still cool. I think this would be a great event/diorama board already especially for a gaming club with a big room to put it in. *However if you want more work and larger board maybe putting in a larger city tile that transitions into another field past the destroyed second wall. Idk how far your willing to go but that why I put the easier method frist.

Definelty the full transition board is the only option here … also noted that the road at the pelenor fields is not ending at the gate - clearly needs another couple of boards to connect properly

@glitterboy2098

@@fffgrehn i noticed the same thing. either there needs to be some sort of gate in the wall.. or perhaps just some sort of building in the Pellenor area that the road led to. perhaps a sort of detached outwork fortification? somewhere that the city's guards could be stationed in peacetime to help patrol the fields and townlands of the pellenor? or perhaps just a small cluster of ruined buildings that was part of a ranch or farm prior to the siege?

Obviously one of the next projects needs to be set of boards to give the peleonor fields and the ruined city a better transition! Also I feel a nice community project would be to add more details to the city, which beside the buildings is quite empty right now. A community project were followers could send you way smaller pieces of terrain, like a stack of barrels, a small stall or some other details.

needs transition boards for both ends ofthe pellenor i think.. the osgiliath to Pellenor transition needs more space between the city and the rammas echor, while the pellenor to Minas Tirith needs at least a small strip to connect that road to something.

Herculean effort. Looks incredible and you can see how much passion has gone into this project. Well done to all involved.

Things the board needs: transition segment from Pelennor's Grass and Osgiliath's Brick (maybe a runied wall to address height difference?), and a Gatehouse and road segment to connect Pelennor's Road to Minas Tirith's wall.

Not sure how playable that is going to be as far as reaching the middle of the board. That being said, this is INCREDIBLE. A truly amazing piece of work.

This is so friggin sick. Been watching the process for the last 6 years so cool to see it finally come together. Just a thought but if you used magnets on the wall pieces of minas tirith it might make for a seamless transition and would add a lot to the board. And would be cool to eventually see some of the other side of the river. Jeep up the amazing work man. I hope new zealand is as easy a move as it can be.

It's truly a board to be proud of. Can't wait to see it all squared off and totally done!

I love that view coming out from inside Minas Tirith. It feels like a whole complete city in itself, then you take a peek over the walls, and bam. The rest of Middle Earth is there too somehow. Amazing.

It's inspiring to see what can be achieved by consistently building terrain towards a set goal. And it's always fun when one has to jump over the terrain :D

Very excited and happy for you happy new year.

Wow there was a shot there looking over the wall of Minas Tirith over the Pelennor and Rammas Echor, through the ruins of Osgiliath and out to the river that was jaw dropping. Obviously you need to continue that view past the crossroads in ithilien, over the pass of Cirith Unholy, across the plains of Gorgoroth and up to Mount Doom!

I’d love to see a scale tutorial for building terrain! I’ve just started dipping my toes into terrain building for warhammer fantasy but getting the terrain to look a realistic size in comparison to the models is difficult

@michaelscholer1

Жыл бұрын

I think an easy way to do scale would to get like 3 models of the game your scaling to 1 small, 1 standard/generic, 1 large (maybe even 1 gigantic if the game has one) to put side by side. Example using warhammer 40k = 1 SM/IG troop, 1 Space dwarf troop, and a demon prince. If you wat to scale to titanic units it has plenty of options as well.

@zackcook5123

Жыл бұрын

Hey I was in a similar spot if you don't mind I might offer some advice from my flawed experience. First things first scale. I use 3 models for scale, most of my terrain is 40k so I use a guardsman, a chaos marine and a monster esq unit like a dreadnought. For fantasy I'd say an empire soldier, an Ork and something mounted like a chaos knight. For keeping things at a reasonable height, you typically want a bit of headroom. I typically do the floors on a building as 2-3 inches. For empire style buildings I'd say look up the Devs and dice channel as he does some great mordheim terrain. Now material is always an issue. Foam board and xpss foam are both great. You can buy both online on Amazon. A great channel for this is. Black magic craft. Lollipop sticks and coffee stirrers are both cheap and fantastic for wood details. You can get great easy texture on foam with crumpled aluminium foil. The main thing is to have fun and experiments

Lucky me! I am a huge fan of arts and crafts and everything related to Tolkien´s Middle Earth, so youtube did well today by directing me to this ♥ My mind is blown! I haven´t watched your other content yet, but I am hoping there´s a big Middle Earth Museum somewhere out there with a humongous indoor space with stage lighting, Dolby Atmos speakers and excellent acoustics that´s been waiting for a project of this scale! Preferably right around your block, so you can work on it there with all your friends😃 If this isn´t a thing, I´d drive around and talk to farmers. That´s how we here in the Netherlands usually find an idle barn somewhere nearby to work on parade wagons and other overscaled projects like this and that.

This is awesome! So excited for the reveal. Is it the camera angle, or the buildings at Osgiliath look as tall as the walls of Minas Tirith? I'd say the walls should be taller.

It's weird to hear you using the primitive Imperial measurement but wow, what a 'table.' This reminds me of my bedroom floor as a kid covered in mine and my mate's 40K armies.

Absolutely amazing man. I can only hope to build something close to this.

Do you have any plans on doing a gate with the signature wolf head ram the orcs used? i think having that line up with that paved road will really bring the board together. Fantastic work ive never been more jealous of miniature terrain

Absolutely epic! It’s been a great ride and I look forward to more. So good to see it all together. It’s incredibly impressive to have such a big board that still is of such great detail quality. However, I must say that two of the roofs in Minas Tirith - from the first colab - aren’t really up to par with the rest of the board. They have a patchy finish and are painted in a too sharp blue. They draw the eye unfortunately and detract from the overall impression of the board. A couple of washes to darken them down would do wonders. But again, absolutely crazy impessive board! Love it!
