What is your favorite weapon from Tolkien's universe?

[Tar-Elenion]

I don't think so. I think I am being completely accurate in responce to your statement.
Inderjit was correct in saying Ringil belonged to the first High King of the Noldor.

 

[Inderjit S]

As Tar-Erenion says I was referring to Fingolfin not Finwë. The Noldor were never divided during Finwë’s reign so he couldn’t have been 'high king'. Fëanor’s claim was rejected by majority of the Ñoldor and Fingolfin's rival claim was accepted. Maedhros was king of the Fëanorians in Beleriand but not of the Ñoldor as a whole.

Finwë’s sword was, I believe, destroyed by Morgoth. (Or at least something like that is said in Maedhros's account to Manwë.)

As I promised, I have finished and uploaded my picture of Gurthang.
Here's the link to the thread in the Guild of Artists: [link]. Check it out.

GooD!
I like the 4 thorns.

Bow

My favorite weapon is the white bow of Lotlorien that Legolas uses

 

[Ice Man]

I wish there was a Magic Warhammer in Lord of The Rings.

 

[Turin]

Very nice Lanty! Maybe I'll post one of my interpretations sometime .

 

[Scatha]

I already have a sword posted in my artwork gallery.

Longsword of Earth , which I drew when I had Orcrist in mind.

Enjoy.

 

[Belegmacar]

It's gotta be Gurthang.

 

[Ingwë]

My favourite wearpon in Gurthang. I think it is the greatest wearpon in the history of Middle earth.

There is other great werpons like The Sting

Middle Earth would have been lost without Sting!

Aeglos is also great. Nobody could withstand the power of that weapon. And Anduril.
These are the greatest werpons of all ages

 

[OldTomBombadil]

Gurthang is probably the deadliest of weapons, but it is a sentient sword with a dark side. (Creepy! ) I don't know that I have a favorite weapon, but if I had to select one it would probably be Sting.

As for the most beautiful weapon, I'd say Andúril. I really hope that PJ has added the Moon and the Sun onto the blade like in the book.. I doubt it though.

O ye of little faith!

Andúril by Noble Collection

I own the limited edition UC Andúril modeled after the movie prop. The rays of the sun are on blade next to the cross guard. (They can be clearly seen on the first link.) Runes are engraved in the blood groove. After the last rune there is a small crescent moon.

Joe Piela of Lonely Mountain Forge has created his own interpretation of Andúril. I've seen this sword in person and it is beautiful! On the linked page you'll also see Sting and Anglachel (Gurthang), as well as some examples of armor.

I also own the Master Replicas Sting. It's very nice.

 

[Hammersmith]

Orcrist! No contest! Goblin Cleaver! Whoever forged it knew exactly what it was to be used for! Hail to Beater and Biter!

 

[e.Blackstar]

Definately Gurthag, it's the only sword that talks.

you have an excellent point...

 

[Annaheru]

I wish there was a Magic Warhammer in Lord of The Rings.

Well, maybe the original Grond is still around somewhere. . .

There aren't many references to them, but the swords Feanor made for his family must have been spectacular. I doubt if any but dwarf made steel could have compared (Aule might have taught them more than he taught Mahtan). Unfortunately none of his sons but Maedhros and Maglor ever decide to distinguish themselves in battle. . .

Eol's swords are cool, granted, but he cheated by using a meteorite. In any case his swords are rather odd (Gurthang is a little too unstable for my taste: it goes dull, then black, then starts talking and finally snaps after killing a man when it had survived being flopped on by a dragon )

 

[e.Blackstar]

Hail to Beater and Biter!

*salutes* Hail!

 

[YayGollum]

Eol's spear? Whichever blade that was that Beren used to pry a silmaril from Mel's crown? The balrog's fiery whip? Sauron's Nazgul? Hm. Glaurung was a weapon, wasn't he? Oh, he was pretty cool. But no. Mim's curse on the gold that Hurin evilly took from him was the best weapon. I had lots of fun reading about that.

 

[e.Blackstar]

Oh man...I think my favorite would have to be...hmm...probably...well, Grond, actually. But that's not really hand-held...so maybe one of the hobbits' wight blades? They sound pretty.

 

[greypilgrim]

Those trebuches on the walls of Minas Tirith were cool, and I liked Anduril. That daggar that Celeborn gives to Aragorn is cool too.

 

[bauglir]

grond, hammer of the underworld, warhammer of morgoth! when he hits it makes a big hole in the ground and people fall into it (that wolfy rammy thing that sauron had is for losers )

 

[Telëlambe]

The greatest wepon of all has to have been the one ring of power, but i would have to say Ringil to be my favorite, being a devoted Fingolfinorian and all. But remember the double headed Axe of Hurin against the Trolls...
