hah! Great find there Brother Aubec!

Wow, the LOTR movie made their balrog version look as if it was on steroids and arnold Schwarzenegger as his trainer. The model set comes with attachable bigger furry flaming metal balrog balls as an upgrade. I understand that it was in the book and script, but a magic exploding arrow shot by legollas to the enemy's groin would bring any beast down. pirat

I think the movie version of the Balrog looks freakin' vicious and awesome.

Unless I am mistaken......and I am never mistaken Razz

The Balrog DID NOT PASS! Wink

I love the Balrog in the movie, and the new plastic GW model.....That old one is a little under scaled IMHO

I hope that one day the Simarilian gets made into a movie! There would be some truly EPIC battle scenes and special effects in it!!!!! Twisted Evil

by TheCrimsonGlass Tue Jul 12, 2011 1:48 pm

There would be indeed! That would be an enjoyable movie, as the previous 3 are. Aren't they making 'The Hobbit' into a movie?

by Constantine Tue Jul 12, 2011 1:55 pm

Yes they are!!! cheers

ok i'm through with the catalogues scanned by this site ... after 1994 they have not scanned anything
so after my special SQUAT posts, that i'll post next week i think that this post will die except if you authorized me (and i'm talking to the great manitou Inquistor Lord especially) to post wonderful old models from the Warhammer Fantasy Battle range.
I know that this site is axed 40K, that's why i'm asking.

No point in letting the thread die. If you ask me, as long as you have something worth sharing then you might as well share it!

So sad to be out of 40k things though. I've really gotten used to seeing all these cool old models regularly!

Yes they are although I think Peter Jackson is not directing it.

The Silmarillon will be freakin' awesome. The power levels during the First Age of Middle Earth is off the charts! During that time, "normal" elven warriors can go toe to toe w/ Balrogs. Heck, one of my favorites, Ecthelion of the Fountain, Captain of the Guard for Turgon of Gondolin, fought Gothmog, the Lord of the Balrogs one on one and killed it (although he died too).

by TheCrimsonGlass Tue Jul 12, 2011 4:00 pm

That would be a pretty glorious battle.

by GMKDynamis Tue Jul 12, 2011 6:48 pm

Is it going to be like the star wars trilogy squence? They love going past forward like in Xmen 1st class. I wish to read the Silmarillon. I read the Hobbit and the Lord of the rings trilogy. It was nice.
Oh was that brother Aubec showing yet more 35k, I mean 40k models? Sorry brother, someone posts hanging balrog balls and we go off on a tangent. geek

by TheCrimsonGlass Tue Jul 12, 2011 8:00 pm

I liked the new xmen movies better than the first 3.

As far as those last oop space marine that brother Aubec posted, I have an old powerfist sargeant that was cryogenitcally born in terra and added to the my Fleshtearers. He was BA Brother Korvitz's cousin's uncle of the father's neighbor's dentist's nephew twice removed and illegitimate. jocolor

by TheCrimsonGlass Wed Jul 13, 2011 9:40 am

Do you think they really have dentists in 40k? Rolling Eyes

by GMKDynamis Wed Jul 13, 2011 10:24 am

They sure have nice teeth in the black library book covers and most open mouthed 40k SM models. What do SM eat anyway? In the books , they drink fluids more than anything else, and with all that aggression they have to be eating red meat. scratch

by TheCrimsonGlass Wed Jul 13, 2011 10:31 am

Hmmm. Maybe there's some made up future technology that automatically cleans their teeth. I'm sure the servitors are involved some way or another Razz

I would imagine they mostly drink fluids or have some kind of convenient MRE-type food that doesn't waste their time.

by Aubec le noir Wed Jul 13, 2011 2:38 pm

now i'm beginning my special squat series ! Wink

space dwarfs from rogue trader and first 40k releases ... as you can see they're not called squats yet but haven't change a lot during the evolution of 40k ... except they all disapeared of course (destroyed by the tyranids) !! Razz

Thanks br Aubec, now I know why they disappeared...and I thank the emperor that their galaxy was given an exterminatus. bom

by Aubec le noir Thu Jul 14, 2011 6:57 am

oh i can find silly names for citizen of the Imperium too !! Twisted Evil

that was a time were bad humour was king ... and i don't think squats deserved desapearing from 40K universe ... WHFB wouldn't be the same without dwarfs
i really don't understand that decision of GW executive ... especially now that we have those blue shrimps of Tau ... Evil or Very Mad
