Back when I collected LOTR SBG models, I picked up the fantastic Helm's Deep model that GW released. Everyone I knew preferred their Minas Tirith, even if they never got their hands on it, but I always preferred Helm's Deep. Anyways, it sat unused in its box for ages and, despite being used a couple of times in games, never really did anything. So, with some spare high-density polystyrene at hand, I decided to create a base for it! Note: I did not build the actual Helm's Deep model, I only built the base it sits on! I know the scales are a bit off and that the causeway and all that aren't as tall as they should be but I'm quite proud of it

The rock I painted up really doesn't match that of the Helm's Deep piece and it's even more apparent in the pics, but just so you know I am aware that it doesn't blend in yet! That's something for the future! Some of the pics have some of the few Uruk-Hai I have left in them, and I quickly cut the background out on Photoshop so that explains the jaggy edges

Anyways, here's the pics!


















Didn't have any Riders of Rohan at hand... but I think the Death Rider is more than a match for the Uruks!

Wow...
That's really good.
I'd wager you could do the rest of Helm's Deep if you had the time and motivation...

...and pre-built GW parts!

But thanks for the kind words!

That always helps

Awesome.

Would love to see a full Helms Deep. Would make for a fun Tyranid defence
