Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

Huooommmmmrhuooommmm .... very nice indeed, Man in the Dark ... and the film most of the time plays in the dark ... huom ... thanks for the link ... hommrhuom ...
Nob, would you please serve that Man in the dark over there a liquid he prefers most? ... huom ... I tell you that you right now have the time doing that as this is an order! ... gruooomm.
dusting the bar and scatching that filthy crust from the tables can be done later ... hoommm.

Many thanks for that Tom, had it been a full length film (LotR) I would have preferred it to the PJ version I actually found it to be a lot more 'natural' if that is the right word to use to watch, and atmospheric.

40 minutes of my life well spent, thank you.

T H E  T O R T U R E   E N D S  !
THERE ARE A LOT OF NEW PICS OF THE FANTASTIC NEW RANGE. LOOK !!!!!!



LOOK AT THE FANTASTIC ARMOUR ! REMIND ME OF THE BRILLIANT M005 !

Huoommm ... a Rohan standard-bearer would make as much sense as a half-orc commander and a drummer or hornist ....  rhuoommm ... why are you people never be satisfied? ... huom?
Take your time to enjoy what is coming and then enjoy ... rhuoommm ... before your minds flow, concentrating on future visions, your mind might miss what we have ... rhuoommm ...
hasty folk around here suddenly ... rhuoommm

well it seems I'll have some update to do on my database now with all those pics officially released

Rhuooommm ... I didn't want to criticize anything around here .... huoomm ... except the fact that some doormats should have been cleaned by now .... huoommm ... this time they're not that muddy but rather dusty ... huoomm ... and the service in these premises is declining ... huooomm ... could be, because  some barkeep, who rather prefers to spend me money on some islands instead of keeping this "Pony" a proper place ... rhuoommm ... is absent ... hom.
As for you Master Gildor, you don't have to haste in updating ... rhuoommm ... take your time and don't haste  ... gruooohoommmhuom ... there will be more to add this year .... huoom ...
Huoomm ... Master Gavin, no insult taken nor witnessed ... huoomm .. sometimes I also do think out loud .... rhuoomm ... and sometimes a bit too extensive ... hommm ... so it's up to me to excuse for that ..... rhuoommhhmmm

Perhaps another glass of Entwash water for Master Ent?

I agree with the comments about the new range, very nice figures indeed and looking forward to seeing them in the 'flesh'.

you'll be able to purchase them yes master OA... and soon you'll see the pictures in the database of this site too (will handle this very soon)

I don't know if anyone noticed, but look at M513 shield design. It has a horse on the bottom of the bottom and a tower on the top. This looks really interesting.

Huooommmm ... that's a very good explanation, Master Rita.de .... huom ... though I, too, am not convinced whether that tiny symbol really represents a tower ... hooom. So let's wait until we can hold that figure in our hands or twigs ... rhuom.

Hey I heard they make some "valar nectar" down in Valinor... quite strange and refreshing though I'm not sure about its diet properties... I think they call it "Coca Cola"  ever heard of it? if you have some, please count me in!

Your recollection is a bit rusty :p

The whole deal with Isengard was that they had half orcs. Lots of them. Half orc spies, half orc warriors, half orc whatever else.

Uruk-Hai were from Mordor, generally. It's all a bit confused, but the gist seems to have been that a band of orcs and half orcs from Isengard ambushed the Fellowship at Amon Hen. These orcs and half orcs were joined by a force of Uruk Hai from Mordor as well as orcs from Moria (who had been vaguely chasing after the Fellowship).

The orcs make a loose alliance, with the aim of delivering the hobbits to safety, so they may be suitably rewarded. The Mordor Uruks think that a Nazgul will be waiting for them. The Isengard orcs and half orcs believe that Saruman will take them. The Moria orcs don't get a say since the others helpfully kill them.

Then the whole vile bunch of them ran into Eomer, who killed them all.

The thing to remember that orcs in Middle Earth until the last years of the Third Age were probably more dwarf sized than man sized. The Uruks (bred for Sauron in Minas Morgul) don't show up until the 2700s, and they were barely man height. And, crucially, they were useless in daylight.

Half orcs weren't. They could go and pillage all day and so forth, if they felt so inclined. They did.

What confuses things is that the term Uruk Hai seems to be applied to both the Uruks and half-orcs in Saruman's army. It sort of makes sense. The "hai" bit means "men" or people. So Uruk Hai sort of means orc-men (ie, half orcs) and the orc-people (the orciest of the orcs).

I need to go re-read that chapter to make sure. But as a rule of thumb, the core of Saruman's army were half-orcs, orcs and loyal thugs from Dunland.
