"Then it is settled," Elrond said at last. "You shall be the Squadron of the Ring."

That's just what we need, Catholic RoboCop being tempted by the one ring, while it tries and fails to get big enough for his Kaiser roll fingers.

But why not get the drop pods to fly the ring to Mordor?

Fucking xenos and heretics everywhere.

Nice, they should totally make a regular fantasy version of 40k, would be sick.

Yeah but 40k Fantasy is it's own thing and doesn't have sweet Space Marines, unless you acknowledge the Timescape. And cool kids don't do that. You wanna be cool right?

Yes, that's why I collect Stormcast because they have griffon... Things.

(I don't actually collect them, because why they hell would you when you can have dinosaurs?)

Can they even resist the Ring though

[–] MoonManKipper@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A quick review of the lore says no…

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

Wouldn't that be 50/50?

Sister of battle ring bearer? They might be even better than hobbits

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 3 points 2 months ago

Sister of silence?

The Astartes would totally be on the side of Sauron. They're brainwashed child soldiers filled with xenophobia and hate. Definitely makes more sense for them to be Orcs - actually that's basically what Orcs are in Tolkien.

Or are they silmarillian era elves

[–] Landsharkgun@midwest.social 4 points 2 months ago

Ooo, that could be too.

[–] Shard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Astartes vs Sauron, who would win?

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

I think the Astartes would make Sauron look like the good guy
