March 30, 2025: So It Begins

In the last few weeks, two great gaming channels on YouTube ran battle reports replaying one of the most epic battle scenes in cinema history. The siege of Helm's Deep from "The Two Towers" film is something that many minis gamers imagine doing, but rarely do we get to experience anything like this battle. These two channels are living the dream.

The first channel I want to bring to your attention is Zorp of the Rings. Lachie has multiple channels and posts scenery builds on his main channel, Zorpazorp. All of his builds are gigantic and the Helm's Deep board is no exception. You can watch the game here.

The other channel was a bit of a surprise. Little Wars TV almost exclusively creates historical content, replaying famous battles from throughout history. They've decided to explore some other genres, and Helm's Deep is a great place to start. You can watch their video here, and they've posted related videos about building the board and the rules they used.
