Holy crap! Melkor was the original Dungeon Keeper!

I was reading Silmarillion and I came across this:

Someone make a mod out of that PLEASE! Just imagine being Melkor and having an army of Balrogs. BALROGS! I'd buy the shit out of that!

 

Pfff Balrogs, I got Gandalf.
YOU SHALL NOT PASS!

 

An army you say?

 

As much as I adore the actual WftO characters, Lord of the Rings character models mod? Yes please Gotta get them fellbeasts, giant spiders, balrogs and ring wraiths.

 

Is that from the MMO?

 

Heck yeah! And let's not forget wargs.

 

Pretty sure it is from one of the Battle for Middle Earth RTS games actually

 

STOP IT! It's too awesome to think about!

 

Purely as an academic matter of interest, which WftO creature would you switch with which LotR entity (for the time being, let's just focus on Underlord creatures)?

My thinking is as follows:
Fellbeast >> Bafu - Probably a size issue here, but similar physical characteristics
Great Spider >> Skarg - Similar characteristics, strong contender for a warg
Ring Wraith/Nazgûl >> Shadow - Their rairty and appearence make me think this is a good matching, alternatively could be a cultist, but cultists seem a bit too common
Orc >> Gnarling - Pretty similar size and weapon style

Whatcha think?

 

I only really agree with the spider and orc comparisons personally.

 

i would love this as a mod!

 

I'd play the hell out of this.
