[@PaintMinisLive]

The new format with more progress shown is great! I like how each video wrapped up a large section of the build in a nice way. The time commitment you've put into this project is astounding. EXCELLENT work!

Thank you SO MUCH mate, really appreciate it

[@felixkonig4736]

Agreed

[@Laserspartan117]

Sir, no matter if this get finished one day or not, it NEEDS to be preserved in a wargaming museum of some sort because you put a level of work, dedication and detail of absurd proportion. It is a splendid work of art and I really wish you the best for those projects!

[@Comicsluvr]

I am so impressed with your energy, your skill, and your determination. However, something that I'm amazed that you missed: Put. Foam. Insulation. On. Your. Walls! Looking at the shots that show your shop walls, I see cinder blocks, studs, and of course the garage door. With all the work you've done with foam, I'm stunned that you haven't taken a day or two to insulate your shop! It will make working out there MUCH more comfortable and efficient. I would hate for you to get sick because you're working under such chilly conditions.

[@Zorpazorp]

It's purely the cost mate, we just can't afford it, so lots of layers and war clothes is the way this winter. Stoked you liked the video though :)

[@jackson1matt]

Can't say this enough but this is such an amazing build congratulations with how good it's gone so far and on how good it looks

[@John-tr6bf]

Always impressed with what you’re doing! I’d vote for large scale Heresy but I’d watch any battle report.

[@trevorhill7468]

It looks fantastic with the lower walkways/gates complete -- it actually feels like one big unified structure despite being modular. Very well done.

[@ratedjentertainment]

Battle Ideas For This Table 1. Legions Imperialis. Imperial Fists and Inwit Phalangite vs Iron Warriors and Selucid Thorakite. Solar Auxilia battling in the streets and the Astartes fighting on the walls perhaps? Should go without saying, but obviously with Titan Support 2. 40K. Adeptus Custodes vs. Genestealer Cults. Perhaps The Cult of the Four-Armed Emperor is sick of the of the pretender on the Golden Throne. They have begun their uprising and have laid full siege to the Imperial Palace. Most of the Guardsmen have been converted to the cult or destroyed. All that is left to protect the walls is the Brotherhood of Demigods. 3. Legions Imperialis. Perhaps an even larger scale game of Imperialis, focusing on multiple Legions, perhaps Blood Angels and White Scars holding off Sons of Horus and Death Guard? I don't know what Loyal Titan Legions were there, but I know Legio Mortis was there. Titans should be a no-brainer. 4. Legions Imperialis. A more focused game, not really on the whole board, but maybe the city section. The Astartes are fighting on the walls, and down in the city section, street to street combat is going on between the Solar Auxilia. Just a pure Guardsmen game, artillery, melee combat and chaotic battle in the city streets. 5. 40K. Guilliman has returned to Terra to meet the Emperor and the Ultramarines must hold off a massive Daemon Army in time for Guilliman to meet with Big E. Maybe the last turn could feature a big bad reutrning to battlefield along side Guilliman. Maybe Magnus, or Mortarion, or even Be'Lakor. Then they can slug it out in the final turn. 6. Adeptus Titanicus. An all titan battle in the city, Legio Mortis needs to breach the walls and get inside the main palace, but a loyalist Titan Legion will obviously be standing in their way.

[@Zorpazorp]

Ok so basically yes to all those sound phenomenal great ideas mate thank you😊😊😊😊

@@Zorpazorp happy to help brother! Proud of you and all the work you’re doing on this channel. You are a legend.

[@Zorpazorp]

Wil do mate! Haha you're telling me the flat foam has been bugging me for sooooooooooooo long haha

[@Nakai_the_Wanderer]

WoW this is truly amazing. You should get some floor tiles for the trenches, with even deeper trenches painted onto them, so that it looks like those trenches extend down to the lowest levels of terra, the view only blocked by increasingly dense clouds of smoke and dust.

[@angus3591]

Dude, amazing instalment!! Definitely loving the progress, the buttresses and extra detailing across the bridges and board edges added a lot visually imo. Great work once again mate, can't wait for the next one!!

Ohhh, might be a bit much, but I'd love to see the underlevel get it's own 4x4 board (maybe have it so you can put it under the top level for display then pull it out for use in game play or something), would be really cool to get more use out of those bridges down there and such. Also, man, does feel like another big tower would be a good addition (although that's just me getting greedy haha). Looking great so far regardless, looking forward to seeing whatever battle reports are done on it!

Awesome video, I think putting some black sheet or something under the board will make the bridges look a lot better as will make it look a lot taller and you cant see the bottom below.

Yeah eventually I'll paint the floor of the studio I think, maybe even trying some forced perspective haha, or maybe a big black tarp :)

[@Zorpazorp]

Thank you SO MUCH buddy, I'm really trying to hone in on that to make the videos as best as they possibly can be for you guys.

[@scifiguy4459]

It looks great. One thing you should do inside of your videos is have a scale miniature of a person, so we can better tell how massive the structures are.

[@OnlyAzMax]

Massive respect for making this. Texturing the foam looks so time consuming, could you invent a kind of giant texture roller that you could run whole foam sheets through. Kind of like a "mangle" but with foil wrapped around one of the rollers!

[@Zorpazorp]

Hahahahahahaha yess that's a great idea!

[@granttrain3553]

Next project, 30k epic scale spaceship. one of those grim dark, killometer long cathedral space ships that can be suspendid over the palace. I did some maths and to be the correct scale the ship would need to be a little over 4m long

[@hunsler1006]

Man there was something so satisfying about seeing a long strip of foam on the sped up footage going through like in a log mill. Can imagine that was tedious work 😅 well worth it though

For the floor, it needs a valley floor type look with rocks etc. Then build a acrylic top on it to walk on, ha ha!. That would be a ton of work though.

[@Zorpazorp]

Oh mate that's just a crazy idea in general. Raising up the whole board on more trenches, but having a clear floor so you can still stand at the right height hahahahah WHT WOULD YOU TELL ME THIS!!!

[@telinoz1975]

@Zorpazorp sorry mate, I have a good imagination like yourself.. Inception mission, complete. :-)

[@graefx]

Those fly through shots look incredible and really captured the evocative feel of the board. I hope for batreps you're able to get some more low shots to really show of the scale.

[@nathanguice2417]

I'm curious if you will be playing with the rules for ranges for weapons due to the massive scale of the buildings. Like, do weapons up on the ramparts of the palace get a range bonus shooting down at the city sector so that there can be some interaction between forces in different sections of the board? And do stationary heavy weapons in the city scape get a "setup bonus" if they are stationary to overcome that height when fired the other direction? Just an idea to play with.

[@Zorpazorp]

Yeah might do the old classic "For every inch they're up, they get bonus range" technique :)

[@Beavy]

Yes!!! Another Zorp video on a Friday to get my hobby mojo going for the weekend.

[@Zorpazorp]

Yessss Beavy! That's the dream!!!!

[@mangopian]

I imagine there is a patreon tier that gets you a statue, but I think it would be cool to have some big old great hall, with some patrons heraldry on much smaller banners. Just an idea!

[@samm7322]

Take something right out of the siege of terra. Imperial fists vs Emperors children with fulgrim and dorn on the walls. Or blood angels vs world eaters with sanguinis and aangron at the gates. Or maybe the last stand of the legio ignatum vs Legio mortis. So many great stories to be played out!
