i was just wondering,what is everyone's favourite weapon that is used in middle earth, and why???
if an army of nasty orcs were coming towards me,id pick Aragorn's sword Anduril as my weapon of choice.its so powerful & strong and it would make those orcs back off!!lol

I would choose one of the Nazgul blades. If I was a bad guy. If I was a goodie I would choose Gandalfs long sword. I wish I knew the name...

gandalfs sword is glamdring, which means something like foe hammer. its twin is the other elven gondolin blade (which also glows blue when orcas r near...but not in the movies) orcrist, or orc slayer i think. both were found in the trolls lair in the hobbit. orcrist was buried with thorin the dwarf.

now... if an army of orcs was comin at me... id prolly have to pick a jet fighter with a couple o tactical mini nukes, but if i had to pick a middle earth weapon, maybe a cool elven bow (so i cud keep at a distance too)

Erm, that picture you have of Aragorn isn't him holding Anduril. That is his Ranger sword

yeah narsil hadn't been reforged yet

I would take Narsil thats a cool sword

I dunno, I'd go for a two bladed elven sword

I would love to be an archer

bows and arrows

u guys are right-its his ranger sword.but i didnt have a pic of him with Anduril unfortunately .ill have to find one.it'll do for now

lotta archers in here

An elven blade of any sort would do me

the two bladed sword is the most kick ass weapon

i'd take an elven blade also. Arwen's sword was simply magnificent

I still think it's a scimitar

arwen's? no..it's longer and straighter than a scimitar
(boy...that didn't sound right )

yea but still it's a bit arc like

yeah...but so is the katana.

Her sword, 'Hadhafang', is attached to Asfaloth's saddle. Hadhafang means 'throng-cleaver'. It was also the sword used by Elrond in the prologue battle scenes.

nice blade

extremely..immagine elrond hacking orcs woth it

yea but the two bladed thingies were even better

Lothlorien Longbow
Arwen's sword- Hadhafang which means "Throng-Cleaver"

I love anything Elven. XD

omg im glad i found this thread... looky here,
http://www.e-blades.com/category.i?catid=2:12
thats where you can buy those swords and stuff, like $100-$200 only! theres two pages, on the second is the Ranger sword , forged Narsil , ringwraith blade, and others, on first page is Hadhafang, witchking, broken Narsil, Uruk-hai blade, etc...

P.S. Glamdrings there too

i would choose a bow and arrow like the elves do, and also 2 of the neato short sword/knife things that my husband...i mean legolas carries. i kno pionted ears arent weahpons but...i wan t those too...heh heh.

fire thats for you.

thx


I always thought it was double bladed, it'd be cooler double bladed

No one has mentioned any Dwarven weapons. Those axes look pretty bad ass they are great close range weapons, and they're good for throwing too.

looks like u gota be pretty beefy to hold a dwarf axe

Definately Hadhafang and Glamdring...you'd be unstoppable. But a couple of the Noldorin daggers would be nice too.

I'd have Glamdring. Best sword ever, except maybe Narsil.

I actually have Sting and Gandalf's sword, their awesome, but I would go with a Nazgul(sp) blade

Definetly axes they are the strongest weapon for hand-to-hand combat. if two people fought, one with a sword and one with and axe, the person with the ax would definetly win.

Unless the person with a sword just dodged and slashed the axeman's head off.............

if used as weapon, what could the ring do?
what exactly is the ring's power?
if boromir got it, what do u think he would have done with it?

I dont know for sure, but i think that boromir would've been seduced by its power...dont know what he would've used it for tho

Glamdring's pretty cool, so is Narsil. But I've to agree with Arwenishott; dwarven axes are definetely awesome. Not the puny single bladed ones, I'm talkin' about the huge dual bladed battle axes. That would take care of some Orcs in a fight.

still.... ...you'd have to get too close to do that...where as gandalf's staff ...one wave and BOOM. lol....does his staff have a name ne1 kno? *ponder*

boromir woulda been corrupted by the ring, and he woulda ended up having it taken back by sauron. only som1 real powerful like gandalf, galadriel, or aragorn cuda used the ring to beome a dark lord themselves, and gathered large armies.
tolkien sed the ring multiplies the powers already within the wielder. usually this seems to be charisma, insight, long life. however, its not like the ring is some kinda laser shooting weapon or nuthin like that.

lol...laser shooting weapon ...well i do agree with what you said about boromir..i kno he thought it woulda helped his ppl but in the end the ring would've taken a hold of him

I would have a knife with a serrated edge in my left hand one of those swords the demon hunter in Warcraft 3 has. They funky lookin =D. That is only if i was fighting a huge group of people...especially a horde of orcs...those who said they would use a bow are foolish...if you missed and they caught up on you, you are screwed. Not to mention, orcs can shoot bows as well...Fast blows with weapons such like i described above are probably decent for taking on a group of orcs, but if I was a hero in Middle Earth I probably wouldnt be stupid enough to get myself in that position anyways, people should repect orcs more...they are not bad fighters...army full o' orcs vs. me? Nuh uh...I would get a group of my pals (dwarves among them cuz' they cool too =D) and set up an ambush if the orcs had to go or I got some money out of it. Alot of dwarves are good at throwing weapons such as axes and hammers, a band of warriors including myself, bout' 10 dwarves and some other good warriors could set up a devastation ambush with such tactics as throwing weapons and traps. =D

-so yea!

Bow and Morgul Knife, I think

Narsil-Reforged

Hmmmmm... I would probably go for the Elven Glaives.

And now, time for my rant...

Yes, the swords that the Elves use are Glaives. Glaives. See the G? Not Swords! I get rather annoyed by the people in Lord of the Rings who continue to claim that the Elves use "Swords" and that whenever it shows their "sword" online it, of course, calls it a "Sword". It's not a "Sword". It's a Glaive. A glaive is essentially a spear-like weapon with a sword-blade on the end. To put it another way, it's a sword with a reeeeeally long handle. And all the Elves use glaives (both in the FotR prologue and in the Battle of Helms Deep in TTT), with the exception of Elrond (who uses Hadhafang) and Haldir (whom I think uses a more sword-like weapon, like the glaives except with a considerably shorter handle, but I'm not sure).

Okay, end of rant.

Frostmorne (Warcraft sword) hehe, if it had to be a ME weapon it would have been the Narsil, a sword is much better in close combat then an axe, you can strike much faster with the sword then the axe, and I whould have prefered the sword in a 1 vs 1 as well

I don't think Aaragorn is that good of a sword fighter lol...but he lives so whatever works...

"Give me a sword and I'll cut you a path from to-day to tomorrow."

uhh...Hey... yeah i just became a member person cau's this sight looks pretty cool. Anyway if I was a Middle Earth person I would want an Elven bow+arrows on my back, and a long sword at my side. That way I could fight from a distance AND up close (maby a dagger to).

My army of hobbits carrying pitchforks!!!
