Hi, i was just wondering if your planning to make a peter jackson character for the good fractions. Like how mordor has captian jackson, could the good fractions have lik a spear thrower type rohan unit lik in the movies?

[khamulrulz]

haha or a carrot-munching drunk from bree...

[Nazgûl]

We might do that, yes

*moving topic to SEE Heroes*

[Uruk King]

Or as a cheap rohan hero, the one who threw the spear at the marching Uruk-hai.

[Nazgûl]

When did that happen? (In the movies)
As far as I know, the only place PJ appeared in the films was as the drunken man in Bree and as the corsair in Minas Tirith... so it would have to be some kind of wanderer, perhaps Rohan-ish yes =)

[Uruk King]

In the Two Towers, the Siege of Helms Deep, when a company of heavily armed Uruks were marching up the causeway with the battering ram. Jackson was playing one of the defenders.

[Nazgûl]

Awesome... I never knew that! Any chance of grabbing a screen shot perhaps? =)

[Lord Fox]

there he is, in the middle

[Nazgûl]

He's going in - without a doubt! If I can't find anyone to model him, I'll reskin a new version of the Corsair Captain, with Rohan armor

[Lord Fox]

awsomesauce you guys are the best!

[Gfire]

If he threw a spear, Eomer or Eowyn's skeleton would be good, or a CaH's.

[Hermoor]

He looks best as a drunk

[Gfire]

I agree. I just noticed, the part where he is shown as the drunk, is in the section where Tom Bombadil should have been. Yes, he put himself in drunk instead of Bombadil.

[Florisz]

That's cool, but then it's not

[Nazgûl]

I won't use THREE PJ's though, so one PJ for evil side and one for good. That has to be the Rohan spearthrower. I'll ask a modeler to bind the PJ model to the spearthrowers from RotWK... Dunno if it can be done for this beta, but I'll try =)

[Gfire]

Spearthrowers in RotWK? Doesn't ring a bell. Why not just use the BFME1 Haradrim (it's included in BFME, IIRC.) It makes more sense to be to make spear throw be a special power though, instead of a normal attack. That's kinda weird, at least for a hero.

[MirkwoodArcher]

Yeah, the best ones for each side would be the Rohan guy and the Corsair captain. The carrot-eating drunk really wouldn't belong in either faction unless he were an inn unit or maybe in the inn (if you know what I mean). You know how the inns and markets have people outside the buildings---the guy that stands in the inn could be changed to Peter. That way he'd be there, but not as an actual unit.

Oh yeah, it would be awesome to have him walking around at the inn.

[MirkwoodArcher]

It would be kind of a neat little feature.

[Nazgûl]

Pretty cool idea yes...
