This video reviews content from the Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game formerly known as Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game and The Hobbit Strategy Battle Game. MESBG is a skirmish style war game developed by Games Workshop, based off the incredible artwork from the three films by Peter Jackson as well as drawing inspiration directly from the books. Players take control of the forces of good and evil and play out epic moments from the Lord of the Rings in anything from small heroes driven scenarios to epic battles utilising hundreds of models. To find out more, head over to www.games-workshop.com - Hry
You have the best LOTR board ever seen! (BUT dont let the side down with unfinished models =P)
Thanks dude! Yeah we try to have them all painted and based, wait till you see the 350+ models we used for Pelennor Fields!!
Is this it? Is this all the epicness you can conjure Zorpazorp? Seriously though 2 and half hours long... that's outstanding!
*demolition team of epicness sprints towards your fortress*
God damn it, Gary Stu Elf. You had one job... -_-
@@drafezard7315 hahaha
Two hours of Zorpazorp!? Who needs Netflix?
HAHAHAHAHAH who indeed!!!
Seriously tho
Zorpazorp what colors do you use to paint the timber of edoras gate?
@@RiviaCustoms Check out this video man: czcams.com/video/_Bq0f4AN-SQ/video.html
Best way to start my morning!
Edit:
Lachlan: "Hitting on 3's because these guys know what they're doin'.
Elven Archers: "HOLD MY WINE"
DUUUUUUUUDE I was like 'wut'. Get off the drink ya pointy eared princlings!
@@Zorpazorp I imagine they heard about Legolas's drinking game with Gimli and didn't pace themselves properly. Excellent gaming content though!
@@LoneTailProductions Hahaha indeed! Thanks man :)
"Imagine being hit by a uruk-hai landing on top of you, so many sharp corners"
Note to self : only climb a lader if Arwen is going before.
Indeed hahahaha
Okay - THAT INTRO THOUGH! Solid, man! Also, super excited to watch the batrep!
Hahahaha thanks man was fun to put together :D :D
renderforest.com has that intro and others good site!
@@steffiewargaminggirl I think Centaur is talking about the film footage recut haha 😂 but yes my brand roll is from renderforest 😊😊
The Intro is awesome and you guys are really entertaining. Most table top battles become boring to watch quickly because it´s a lot of dice throwing. But you guys are really enjoying the battle and commenting in an entertaining way. Keep it up! I just wanted to take a look on the amazing terrain but got stuck watching the whole battle.
That's awesome to hear Octafire!!! Really glad you enjoyed it.
Well ... I was going to go to class... But now I'm suddenly feeling pretty sick, so I think I'll just stay home. Can't wait to watch this giant battle, you always do great Lachlan
Happy to be of service Marxy 😊
Lachie narrating the finding of his video!
"And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years, the video passed out of all knowledge. Until, Lachie finally found it. 🤣
Great video just carnage!
Damn itttttttt that's how I should have opened it!!!!!!!
What a great looking game, splendid terrain and minis!
Thanks so much Phil!
This is absolutely insane! I cannot wait to play games like this! My local play group is just starting a battle company map-based campaign as our introduction to MESBG.
Thanks so much Chris!! Ah that's awesome man! Such a great way to get into the system!
@@Zorpazorp I agree! The smaller model count will help for sure.
Amazing battle report and table... thanks
What a Battle !!! I Love your Battle reports 😍
Thanks so much Raph 😊😊😊
One of the best intros I’ve seen for a while! Made me smile and laugh! Onto the batrep!
Thanks Rob! Hope you enjoyed it!
Oh my god! 2.5 hrs!! Merry Christmas!
Yeah boyyyyy :D :D
Finally got a chance to watch this, still have about 45 minutes left. It’s been brutal
Great game, fun to watch and well played cinematic. Fantastic table. I have wished for this game since You showed it first time on CZcams. Way to go.
Thanks so much Reyals!
That was so good to watch and the board terrain are unreal
Thanks mate!
Awesome as usual!! Super Zorptron level here I come! WOOT!!!
Hell yeah Ray!!! Welcome MTO the family my man 😁😁😁😁
Amazing looking board! I love how the wall can come apart 👌
Thanks so much! 😊
That intro was shockingly well cut.
Haha thanks Bootsy it was a pain to get right
Just recently found out about your channel. Boy, do I get nostalgia vibes seeing all these LotR minis!
Totally dig your table and terrain!
I'd love to get my old minis out and have a game.
Keep up the great work!
Best regards from Germany
Welcome aboard Thomas :) hope you enjoy the content :D :D
Sweet! Great report Lachie
Cheers Andy!! Can't wait to roll dice with you someday soon.
Busy watching this game.....which I will comment later but loving it at the 15 minute mark, but man alive what a cracking table to have a battle on!!!!
Hope you enjoyed it!
The beginning is masterfully edited together.
Hehehe why thank you :P
the siege gameplay is so fascinating to me. also this is the neatest board ive ever seen.
Thanks mate, you can see the board in more detail here: czcams.com/video/TMaw_Fi6Ao0/video.html
Great fight - not sure I'd ever field Eomer without a shield (really love the D7), but on the whole a great battle report and fun to watch!
Yeah we were just playing WSIWIG and I hadn't given him one yet haha
9:45 Nice movement
Thanks!
Hello, wonderful game table. A lot of time to construct such houses. Congratulations 👍
Yeah it took a fair while man haha glad you enjoyed it!
Man thats so cool! I wish I had mates that played LOTR lol, I live in AUS but just started collecting 40K. I used to paint the old LOTR figurines that came with White Dwarf. Awesome Bat Rep mate, love it.
The Aus community is booming mate! What state you in? Join this page to start: facebook.com/groups/146832525446670
**FOOTAGE FROM THE ATTACK AT PEARL HARBOR HAS BEEN RECOVERED**
Great video dude!! Really glad to see a game at this board! The game was fantastic and now we can all appreciate Theoden's decision of going to helm's deep. The start of the fight was looking good to the forces of good (except for those elf's, they're aim was at least as bad as stormtroopers). Everything felt apart with those kamikazes though, for evil the losses were minimal due to respawn but for your lines and poor Elfhelm it was a massacre. The video intro edit was great as always and the initial talk and explanation of why Christmas came earlier was fantastic. Now that the bar has risen i feel like a battle at the pelennor fields could be in sight, who knows... (There is a scenario on the armies of lord of the rings)
As always looking forward to the next one!!
Yeah those explosions were bruuuutal man! Thanks dude the intro was surprisingly difficult to nail haha, but glad it came off.
Pelennor has always been the plan, I just wanted to wait till my better gear was here so soooon!!!!
@@Zorpazorp Thanks!! I can only imagine how hard it is to mix sounds with different scenes from different movies!! But you pulled it off!!
@@miguelcorreia1149 Haha thanks mate! Yeah it's tricky, I using lots of filters to create different sound perspectives, using a low pass filter to make the uruks sound off in the ditance etc etc.
@@Zorpazorp Yeah I totally understand you!! Did you check out the new Aldor and Haleth figures and profiles from FW?
@@miguelcorreia1149 Yeah man I'm so pumped!!!
Ahh many fond memories, This was such a loooong game to play and it was hot, I was sweating by the end.....Damn walls take my arrows
It was a hottt dayyyyyyy
Palisade protects, palisade attacks, but most importantly gets up blown up
😂😂😂😂😂😂
VERRYYY nice battlereport, as always!
Although (spoiler alert) Theoden shouldn't have lost his horse at 1:56:30, he's riding an armoured horse for which you need 6s to wound with S2 bows!
You're absolutely right!!! That might have really changed things haha
Awesome board and great game and battle report - so much going on all across the board. Fairly certain in Turn 7 Aragorn called Heroic move then heroic combat then burned a might to wound an enemy so should be 2 from store gone at that point... he needs all the help he can get in this battle though!
Thanks for watching Emma! I'm sure you're right, it was a bit wild Haha so I wouldn't be surprised if he got some might tracking wrong 😂😂
Loving the destructible walls!
Thanks mate!
Even though I'm not into fantasy gaming, gotta admit, that game looks spectacular! Wow.
Thanks Michael!
That intro alone got me hyped up for the Batrep!!!
Hahaha excellent 😀
brilliant edit, at the beginning epic
Haha thanks so much Sam!
"We're hitting on 3's cuz these boys know what they're doing" *rolls five 1's & 2's and a single 3* lol
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep that happened hahaha
awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
SO COOL!!!
Thanks so much!
Wooooo nightshift and a new vid cheers mate ... over 2 hours!!! Gotta get more data lols .... early morning eastern AU time 😂😂 frak RIP WA haha
Telstra should clearly give me a cut of your excess data charges 😂😂😂
Zorpazorp ill see what i can do xD no promises ... however something directly in my control is over 300 elven warriors with bow or sword . If youd like some i can spare them xD as long as i dont have to PAINt them haha
@@aidanhartford1588 I am all good for elves my man but thank you for the offer!! About to do 12 myself on livestream number two haha sometime in December
Me: I should probably clean my apartment for when my date comes over tomorrow morning.
Also me: *watching this at two AM*
Holy two hours :o Now that's wonderful !!!
I'm always worried people will get put off by length haha but not Maxi!!
@@Zorpazorp *Captain America's voice* "But not us"
@@maxclaisse9331 hahaha
Damn that intro! Ur awesome!
Thanks dude it was really tricky to edit hahaha
Brilliant table and Game. I'm a flames of war player and have only seen two of these so far on your channel, but i'm thinking that the good guys are kinda like Germany (cool figures, rules, and higher point cost) while the baddies are like Russia (low point costs, massive power, horde type) that win most of the time. Looking forward to watching more of these videos and your terrain construction.
Welcome bro that's a cool observation! There's a lot of factions with different nuances I'm sure you'll enjoy the variety coming from historicals.
@@Zorpazorp haha not to mention I love LoTR! But I'm so bad I never knew they had a game like this. If I wasn't so invested in FoW, I'd pick up some of these minis for playing. I guess I'll just enjoy it vicariously through your channel!
Mystery Science Theatre... where are you! 0:59
🤣🤣🤣
have you got a how to build the gate house n the walls ?
Sure do bro :) czcams.com/video/_Bq0f4AN-SQ/video.html
That intro blew my mind
Why thank you sir :)
Hi good morning!
I've asked myself this question for a long time.
Do you make this boards all buy yourself?
Cause I've found only some buildings to buy in the net...
Yeah I make it all myself :)
Yeah I make it all myself :)
You found it! I was beginning to think youd forgotten when I begged you to do a batrep before shipping this board off. Question, does each section of the wall come off or did those two sections have weak points? (Also, did legolas attack someone with a skateboard shield? Is there a special rule I've missed somewhere or was that a house rule?) Either way, epic report!
That special rule is from the Deeping Wall Scenario is the new LOTR armies book :D :D glad you enjoyed it mate! Only those two sections were removable :)
Poor minipeople getting knocked around and down off of walls!
Do you think some static grass could be used to make the roof thatching more realistic on the gw rohan house? Airbrush it once its down?
Oooow interesting, maybe yeah if you got the direction right?
Zorpazorp im sure holding them on an angle after applying glue should do it!
@@damitcam yeah I reckon!
You could even do it in strips starting from the bottom to get a proper layered look 😉
@@damitcam yeah definitely
Aren't Dunlendings S4? I think there was a few times where they ought to have wounded but didn't as they were thought to be S3
Whoops hahaha 😂
Wait, there was a battle of Edoras in the movie? I don't remember this scene.
Hehehehe of the magic of editing 😉
Awesome could you do a series for beginners on how play
Check out Top Table Gaming bro, they're doing a great series and are mates of the channel :)
so why did the berserkers come back ? Is there an extra rule that i dont know of ?
That have a 6+ feel no pain if that's what you mean?
@@Zorpazorp i know that they can come back with a +6 roll but the first one you killed you said he will come back anyway next turn eventhou he didn`t roll a 6
@@TakiwaraTaki Yeah every uruk model buh the heroes respawn on the board edge because of the scenario :)
interesting way how he rolls the dice
Great stuff. MESBG as it should be played. Forgive me but there is a little matter of some of the figures . . .
Thanks Kili!!! It was a great game!
Couple of questions. You said this board was done on commission. How long does it take to make a board, and how much are they?
I don't do commissions anymore sorry mate :)
@@Zorpazorp Damn. Here was me hoping I could find a solution to by shoddy paint and terrain skills. Either way, love from NZ across the waves. :)
@@alexmcguire-barnes3765 Sorry bro haha! Where abouts in NZ are you!?
@@Zorpazorp Auckland, nice and home free. Hope the outbreak in WA isn't affecting you too bad.
Where did you get those walls!
I made them bro :) check out the tutorial here: czcams.com/video/_Bq0f4AN-SQ/video.html
How many of these structures were custom made?
All of them, there's a whole serie sof videos o nthe prject in my channel playlists :)
So, it is before the walls of *EDORAS* that the doom of our time will be decided
😂🤣😂🤣😂 I tried for about an hour to blend that splice perfectly.
@@Zorpazorp i think it works best as a noticeable splice to be honest, a perfect bit of humor!
@@Bobdd0 hehehe thanks
whats a table like this cost?
About $10k.
What size is the gaming board
6x4 bro :)
@@Zorpazorp thank you your build looks so good. not even day 1 building yet bit of research get materials, get minittures. I'm starting from ground zero lol.
@@bhoy1989 Exciting stuff mate! Be sure to check out the old video in the description they might help too!
Where can I find this scenario?
It was custom bro :D
Don’t suppose you have this custom scenario or any others available so we can give it a go? Building and Edoras board very similar to this and would love to try it out!
@@Leaf-ye6wm We modified the participants but the scenario itself is actually from the Siege of Gondor Sourcebook, it was initially for Helms Deep :D
Zorpazorp ok mate, cheers :)
Can you do some War of the Ring batreps?
Definitely at some point my man! Although hopefully in three years GW will release official 2ns edition
Come on, this is such a wonderful board, why have unfinished Modells and unfinisched Bases ?
Filmed on short notice, so no prep for the armies :)
Your plains look like a motion capture costume, spread your bushes more naturally.
😂😂😂😂 harsh but fair!
Very nice, I think you're shielding too much though zorpa.
I was just trying to buy time for the cav to arrive but it didn't work haha
this is almost as good as the original films
Hahaha cheers LJ
Bomb doesn’t do much good if you blow up all your Troops with it lol
The troops come back! :D
what's a waahg?
Can you give me the context haha 😂
@@Zorpazorp you're saying warg wrong
@@Jossos In Australia we don't over emphasis the 'r' in lots of words :) I haven't actually looked up the correct pronunciation from a Tolkien perspective.
You do not 'fire' a bow!
k
😍😍😍😍😍👌
WTF he takes the Mordor Dice and always throw sixes? And why are the Isengard Dice with trhe symbol on the 1 Side and not on the 6? As a Isengard Fan this upsets me ;)
They're the old isenagrd dice haha they were all like that was absolutely awful haha
@@Zorpazorp oh ok i didn´t knew that. I have a full Isengard and a Rohan Army but i never had a person to play this game more than a few times, i still have one of the first rule books but almost no suppliment except the Displays i made . It´s nice to see you play because i haven´t painted a modell or played a game for years now. Here in my circumference are only 40k players it´s just sad. But your Videos and szenarios are very interesting and your boiards are all nicely done.
@@RockmeHellsing Thanks buddy!!
Doesn't Legolas have knife fighter? Gets an extra attack per unit he is outnumbered by?
That would be Tauriel
What a surprise, Jacob is the SECOND commenter on this chain....
Really hope this is the same Jacob Lucas or that won't make sense at all hahaha
Evil dude slow down. Let us at least see the dice you roll.
