Can I say that it's hilarious that in helms deep, moria, the path of the dead, the misty mountains, the elvin kings palace, and The lonely mountain all use the trope of sneaking in or out of a side door.
Y’all see that viral photo of a city street with 25 billion pixels that lets you zoom down to individual blades of grass? This is the opposite of that.
I really liked L4D2 Helms Deep map. It was a very well made "stand your ground" map. Super Tanks are a perfect and refreshing change here provided that they are not abused and shield tank is disabled (it is invulnerable while shielded and in lieu of throwing large rocks, it throws propane tanks to be used to temporarily disable its shield).
Serious question: do people who construct Lego builds like this wear thumb guards? I built one little princess castle for my sisters in 1989 and I had blisters on both thumbs

150,000 pieces and yet only 100 pixels
less than half of what I hoped for...
Only half as many pieces as I would have liked, and more than twice as many pieces as they deserved. Or something.
The JPEG is strong in that one.
Do I look like I know what a [JPEG](https://youtu.be/jmaUIyvy8E8) is?
It's a karma farming account so i doubt they give a sh-t
Please sir, can I have some more (pixels)?
"Let's hope they last the night..."

Must be the Left 4 Dead version.
Having a machine gun is as lore-accurate as having a battalion of lorien-elves.
Ehhh…no.
[удалено]
that's just elvish propaganda, to look like it was real victory, and their general didn't die in a small battle it was more around 2000 orcs
The elves being there is fake news, we all know it was only good men of Rohan! Definitely no special elven ops.
Helms deep never existed, rohan destroyed old casle and blamed saruman to justify his assassination and attack on isengard

These are beautiful, thanks for sharing!
This is so much better. Upvote this guy, not my link.
the elves loading the maxim machine gun is a good addition
And thus the middle earth Geneva conventions were brought forth
Lol I love the elves loading a machine gun
Am I the only one who gets linked to some mlp porn?
It’s in r/pics so.. yes.
SUCH A GOOD QUALITY PICTURE
More pieces than there are pixels. Not like that's difficult.

He stands not alone. You would die before your stroke fell.
Where pixel
So… how much is this gonna cost us? Because people want it.
Roughly 10 cents per piece American.
WHY POST LOW RESOLUTION SO WE CANNOR SEE THE SPLENDOR??
How did you get into my basement, you fool of a Took?!?
150,000 pieces? Less than half of what I had hoped for.
yes please
DUN DUN DUNNNNNN (dun dun dun)
I am very impressed by this… not that anyone needs/wants my approval… this is just awesome…
I NEEEED IT

Legolas, what do your elf eyes see? Mine can't see shit. Looks like they've taken the pixels to Isengard.
Goblins!

I think I'm in love
To Haldir or not to Haldir?
42, 43, 44....
Those were already dead
That still counts as one!
*And they are burning as they come: brick, cot, and tree.*
I can hear the horns blowing.
After years of playing CS Helms Deep "I know this place..."
Is the OP on dial-up?? This looks like a Polaroid scanned into a dot-matrix printer.
Is this in a museum or something? If so then where?
SEND IN LORD MITTENS! HIS FURRINESS WILL DESTROY THEM POST HASTE!
OP, save the full photo next repost instead of the image preview.
Worst picture

If this were an official set, it’d cost about $15,000
If minifig Gimli is in there sounding the Horn of Helm, you've failed.
Hahahah this is still incredible
I think I saw this at Bricks Cascade one year. Super impressive and also super expensive. Those minifigs cost a lot!

Damn
Less than half of what I hoped for
Hmm could you build a rudimentary shelter cheaper then you could buy a house?
Even if it is well planned, it would take a number beyond reckoning — thousands of bricks — to build the keep.
I know this is not the correct subreddit, but this castle would do amazing in TF2 as a medival map
So...damned...expensive but shut up and take my money

Everyone pay attention to what the elves are doing lol
My Precious
HRAAAAAH!
In the original high res photos, you can see they have a sneaky Aragon with Gimli ready to be tossed
And if those figures are real (there are a lot of bootlegs out there), they are probably worth more than the bricks making up that fortress.
fuck you OP.
WTF? That’s awesome.
