I'll never get tired of this battle. I could watch it every single day and would still not be enough. Amazing.

I'm glad they're trying to do the book version but some movie stuff is leaking in. 1:55 There wasn't a column of women and children led to Helms Deep, Eowyn takes them to Dunharrow in the mountains. Theoden meanwhile rides out to reinforce the fords but encounters some survivors of the 2nd Battle of the Ford, who tell them that the fords have fallen. Gandalf advises them to go to the Hornburg while he rides off to rally Erkenbrand and his scattered forces. (Also not sure why the map shows the three companions and Eomer to be in different places to Theoden) 9:10 The ents didn't break Saruman's dam they actually dam the Isen themselves to redirect it into Isengard. 12:21 Erkenbrand and his men are on foot not riding in movie style Still am loving this series just not sure why they're presenting it mostly book with bits of movie

14:20 Legolas: “But… but… that only counted as one…”

J.R.R. Tolkien: writes a story based on his lifelong love of languages and mythology, complemented by a deep understanding of Roman Catholic philosophy. Also J.R.R. Tolkien: writes a story with two bros challenging each other to see who can kill more ugly SOBs than the other.

One of the best battles ever !

this was absolutely fantastic guys! helms deep is my favourite lord of the rings battle and this was amazing coverage of it!! thank you 😄

smuuude content guys!

Ride of the Rohirrim coming in the next video boys!

Here we GOOOOO

The book version sounds more intensive and dire, I didnt even know that Rohan fought alone + that they fought at the caves.

The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the deep! One last time!

You made a mistake here Theoden did not go straight to Helms deep with his civilian population, that was strictly movie, in the book, (which is what you are mainly following here), he sent the people of Edoras (under Éowyn's leadership) to Dunharrow while he led all his fighting men to reinforce Erkenbrand in the west. However before he could reach there he learned that Saruman's forces had crossed the ford, this left him only one choice to retreat to Helms deep with what forces he had and join up with those remaining at the fort, while Gandalf rode to search for Erkenbrand and the remaining Rohirrim forces with him Another mistake you made is that Gandalf arrived with a thousand men on foot not riders and most of the men that Theoden led in his counterattack were also on foot with only a few on horse

"He was twitching..." "He was twitching because he's got my axe embedded in his nervous system!"

I love how the narator not forgeting about counting-kill match between gimli and legolas 🤣

Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing? Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing? Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow; The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning, Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?

The battle of helm’s deep showed that Rohan could withstand against any force, even if they are outnumbered by more than 3 times. It also shows that the Uruk hai were not as invincible as what Saruman had hope for.

I love the Two Towers movie and book during the Battle of Helm's Deep with Legolas and Gimli. Gimli: (Jumps to look over the wall but can't see) What's happening out there? Legolas: Shall I describe it to you? Gimli: (Turns to look at Legolas) Hmm? Legolas: Or would you like me to find you a box? Gimli: (Laughs) Gimli: Legolas, TWO ALREADY! Legolas: I'm on 17! Gimli: HUH!?! I'LL HAVE NO POINTY-EAR OUTSCORING ME! (Kills an Ururk-Hai)

Fell deeds awake! Now for wrath! Now for ruin! And a red dawn!

Uh, a few corrections: The civilians of Edoras were actually sent to Dunharrow during the Battle of Helms Deep. That's the opposite direction of where Helms Deep was. Theoden also left about 1000 men at Edoras to hold the city. This forced Saruman into a difficult choice. Erkenbrand was still loose in the field, while Theoden was cooped up at Helms Deep. Saruman's plan was to take control of the country and if that meant taking Edoras, he would have done so. But Theoden had 2000 men at Helms Deep, 1000 of them were cavalry. And Erkenbrand had 1000 riders, too. If Saruman besieged the capital, he'd be harassed by Theoden's raiders, and then crushed by Erkenbrand's Hammer against Edoras' Anvil. This left Saruman with no choice but to lay siege to Helms Deep. Besides, if he managed to kill Theoden, he'd be able to take control of Rohan much faster. And then his army cracked like an egg at Helms Deep. Saruman had shown poor tactical competence, as he had failed to anticipate the Ents' arrival, and not taken precautions to have his Uruks dig trenches in preparations for counterattacks from the front or the rear. His army had been impressive as a proof of concept but failed miserably due to poor leadership and foresight. This victory forced Sauron to speed up his plans and send his deadliest general into the field: The Witchking of Angmar was taking to the field yet again. And this time, there was no Man who could kill him, so victory was assured, even if the army was broken, not even Gandalf could stand up to him.

It might be a long time but, seeing the Siege of Mandalore on this channel will be great! Who's agree with me about this?

Sometimes I just feel bad for the Uruk hai , trained from birth to become soldiers yet still killed by rocks and boulders . Giving everything for either Sauron or Saurman just to be annihilated by walking trees and a horse man .

If i remember correctly, than alliance between Sauron and Saruman fell apart before attack on helm deep. Becouse Sauron learned that Saruman is looking for the ring in anduin river for some time and want the ring for himself.

14:46 A chance for Faramir, Captain of Gondor, to show his quality

I really dislike this approach of mixing the book and movie versions of the story... it is neither true to one or the other. I love the books and the movies but these videos are just incorrect in both cases. Why not make just the book true versions of these battles, since they are actually the cannon?

Theoden's lines at the Battle of Helm's Deep are my all time touching scenes ever. So much pain, motivation, despair and hope in several Theoden-Gamling-Aragorn scene

I hope you'll cover the events of the First Age at some point. I only recently got into the lore of Middle-Earth but I find that time especially fascinating.

Another fantastic video! And I do believe this is 1st the video I've seen covering the Battle of Helm's Deep as it was written by Tolkien and not as it was depicted in Peter Jackson's film. That being said, I'm wondering how many people will write, "bUt YoU fOrGot AboUt dA eLveS!" in the comments...

What is most important...... 42-41 Gimli is the best. Take that POINTY EARS!!

Looking forward to your take on "Battle of Dale & Erebor" in the War of the Ring. Also i think you should do a documentary about Nordling kingdoms and Nilfgaardian Empire of Witcher, you should also add "Wheel of Time" lore on this channel.

“Shall I describe it to you, or would you like me to find you a box?”

i'm loving your series of the wars of the ring as i didn't really understand the politics of middle earth. this series is really good for fans and for people who haven't even read the book thanks wizards and warriors!!!

Please make a video about the Battle for Doldrey from Berserk!!!

Trees attacking a fortress sounds like an anime concept from Studio Ghibli.

I've been really enjoying your videos for a long time now! One universe/timeline I would recommend looking into is the Command & Conquer series, espeically Red Alert. If just so Devin can yell "SPACE!" at the end lol

The Horn of Helm Hammerhand in particular in the book feels way more significant than the movie. Even though the movie has plenty of action it does really well for the Battle, when the horn is blown and Theodon and Aragorn charge the book really makes you feel how badass they are and even the Uruk-ai feel a stint of fear even though they outnumber them.

After the battle, Legolas and Gimli discuss their kill tallies. "Final count...forty-two.", Legolas said proudly. "Forty-two? Oh! That's not bad for a pointy-eared Elvish Princeling.", Gimli retorted, "I, myself, am sitting pretty on forty-three!", he chuckled.

Fantastic job- yet again! Is there a legend for the map showing Helms Deep? If north is pointed up, then it would appear that Gandalf and the riders came from the West in the morning. Love your content- and found you from BazBattles.

I loved the book version of this battle. It feels like an actual battle with phases and lulls in combat. Instead of the films version where everything feels like it happens at once and is so rushed.

I think from a narrative standpoint, "the 2 Towers" movie made the best changes, gandalf seeking some random retired general is so boring but hin seeking a now banished eomer has so much more impact

You should make videos on the Dune universe by Frank Herbert.

Bring the Horus Heresy to life! For the emperor.

I'd kill to see this channel cover the Ace Combat series.

If you could do Silmarilion battles from the first age, my GOD, I get goussebumps if I think of it, IT WOULD BE GLORIOUS!!

2,000....not 3,000 defenders. 1000 already there under Gamling plus 1,000 brought by Theodan. Pick up.'Atlas of Middle-Earth'. Oughta do Battle of Dake along with rest of northern theater of War of the Ring. .....fighting at Dale/Lonely Mountain, under trees in Milkwood and 3 separate assaults on Lorien, then Galadrial taking the fight to Dul Guldor and just wrecking shop.

Me booting up the video: "So it begins..."

could we get an episode of Douglas Adams "Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" battle when Vl'Hurg attack Earth or Marvin vs. Vogons

I love this! So glad you're jumping into fiction! Would love to see Wheel of Time videos (I'm currently listening to the books. Up to book 3 atm. Especially since Amazon has also got the tv series underway)

Try to make one about the Emerald Sword Saga by Rhapsody of Fire ;) Maybe they would even be glad and support you :)

I always wonder how did the evil men get along with orcs and Uruks. Like how did the dunlending get along with the orcs of Isengard and how did the haradrim and rhun get along with Mordor orcs and trolls.

Great mention of Rohan's captains, Gamling and Erkenbrand, who had substainal roles in the books.

Offering the orcs and uruks the chance to surrender really does call into question whether orcs and the like are even...like capable of that? The humans and the like are offering them mercy because they're good, honorable dudes obviously but we never see the orcs and such do anything other than acting as pure chaotic evil at all times. I wonder if they're capable of negotiation or even positive behavior.

@6:41 At this point there should be a score board at the top of the video showing how many Uruks Gimli and Legolas killed.

Fun fact: every horse used in all movies of LOTR where Lusitanian Pure-blood breed

i did ask this question before but i don't know if you wizards and warriors answered it or not and probably i didn't notice it because of the notifications i get from youtube either way I'm just going to ask this again are you wizards and warriors are going to cover the silmarilion because there are many stories, histories and battles in the silmarilion if not then its ok but anyways thank you for reading my comment

It's funny, I'm so movie washed I was wondering "Where are the Elves, why is Eremor there?"

I think you mixed in some of the movie with the book because in the movie they do for some back to the keep, but in the book they don't make it into the hornburg just stay outside and then Rohan charges out and gandalf comes to save the day.

Now for wrath! Nor for ruin and the red dawn!

You guys considered using the LotR mod for Attila for cinematics here? Could be p cool too

Frodo hadn’t reached the black gate until after the battle was over

Gandalf‘s relieve force with Erkenbrand was INFANTRY, not „riders“... like often, this channel mixes (in this case from the movie & book) or even makes up several details of the portrayed battles

The most important consequence bahahahahhaha. Quality banter sir thank you

This series is amazing! So many good characters left out of the films, especially the Rohirrim. So nice to hear Elfhelm, Erkenbrand, Gamling, Grimbold I think may have been in the film with reduced importance

Sry, You guys really need to change the background music.

Love the videos! Long time fan of the channel and Kings and Generals. Just an FYI you should be careful with adding bright flashes at that level of intensity in your videos. At the very least you should incorporate a photosensitivity warning if u do want to leave them in. Keep up the awesome work!!

WELL DONE THIS ALWAYS BEEN MY PERSONAL FAV BATTLE OF MIDDLE EARTH , ALSO TREE BEARD BEEN MY PERSONAL FAV OF ENTS

Could you possibly cover the Mass Effect trilogy?

Why was there no mention of the wargs leaping over the walls of Edoras?

This battle was a little different in the movie

“ Shall I describe it to you, or would you like me to find you a box?” -Legolas

Would love to see battles from Arthurian legend, such as at Camlann Also, Admiral Preston Cole's exploits as told in his Halo short story (and other sources)

I thought that Minas Morgul was more south of Eastern Ogsciliath

"So it begins"

Hey! @Wizards and Warriors , I enjoyed this video! Sorry, I am late to the party. I am glad you are not just looking at the films but the book in addition. I am looking forward to this series continuing. I have to say this video is a masterpiece! If I would say one mistake you made, I do not think Gimli defeating Legolas by a single point references calling the dwarves superior to the elves. Either way, it is irrelevant because Legolas wasn't too upset. Instead, he was glad to see his friend safe. For at the end of the battle, Legolas said "My score is one less than you, but I do not grudge you. for I am glad to see you alive." Looking forward to the next one.

You are confused whit the names map everything.

As much as I love the battle in the Two Towers film, it would've been much more intense if it had played out as described here. Plus, I would've loved to have seen the triumph of Dwarven arms over that of the Elves. Them pointy-ears are too overhyped to begin with anyway.

Wizards and Warriors, ever consider doing the space opera anime called Legend of the Galactic Heroes? There are plenty of massive battles throughout the entire series.

The first trench is good. But You Need to Build More Ditch!

This battle was awesome. And it was in a trilogy where cash grabs were not completely in vogue.

Man I’m so happy they made this channel man Ithis is why out of all the history and battleground this is my 2nd fav channel had no idea this happened in the books Ora the siege......!!!!

14:14 DAMN RIGHT!!

Who else prefers the book version to the movie version?

hell yeah this is a pretty awesome battle I heard it was inspired by the charge of the winged hussars during the siege of vienna

I hope you do some battles from the Silmarillion.

Haha wonder if some of the non-bookreaders watching this are like"wut? Eomer was defending helm's deep? Where are the elves?" Haha

I can't wait to see the siege of Minas Tirith video. Since the covered events are from the book, it will be wonderful to see the grey company, the arrival of the ships with men from south gondor and the skirmish at Rammas Echor!!!!!!!

Erkenbrand's forces were on foot, not mounted.

after this series, we need Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales

Still hoping Battlestar Galactica will be covered by this channel😢

Wow.. Amazing work guys 👏🔥

"Now for wrath, and for ruin, and the red dawn!"

Can you do the Battle of the Heroes from the First Law series

Incredible video! I love hearing the book videos of these battles, and I also love animated maps. Maybe more Star Wars lore and battles would be good, though?

So why did aragorn randomly went out and try to parley with the uruks?

Fantastic series! I'm loving this new channel.⚔🏹⚔

This channel is AWESOME !!

Amazing as always. You guys are an inspiration to all history and fantasy nerds out there like us.

The parley between Aragorn and the Uruk-hai is an interesting element. It shows, that the orcs did know terms or parley, and even respected them to some extend (they even warned Aragon to go away since he had nothing of value to say, before they started shooting at him). Also I must say the forces of Isengart and Rohan were much more even than some maybe think. Saruman could muster less than 15.000 men I guess, mostly infantry, while the Rohirim at full strength could mobilize around 12.000 men cavalry if they had time and prepare for war (Theoden say that number later when he get message from Gondor who ask for help, although after the war with Isengart he could only muster hal of that in time). It was Sarumans agent at Edoras and poor intel who made this war even possible since if Rohan was lead good from the start the chances of Isengart would be very limited.

Can't wait for the silmarilion

Another fantastic video, and I got a request that other such channels would balk at but I'm sure you can handle; The Battle of Autobot City.
