Board 8 > Thorin Oakenshield has been revealed [The Hobbit]

(+) Yeah! (+)

As a young Dwarf prince, Thorin witnessed the destruction and terror wrought when a great fire-breathing Dragon attacked the Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor. After slaughtering many of Thorin’s kin, the great serpent, Smaug, entered The Lonely Mountain and took possession of its vast store of gold and jewels. No-one came to the aid of the surviving Dwarves, and thus, a once proud and noble race was forced into exile. Through long years of hardship, Thorin grew to be a strong and fearless fighter and revered leader. In his heart a fierce desire grew; a desire to reclaim his homeland and destroy the beast that had brought such misery upon his people. So when fate offers him an unusual ally, he seizes the chance for revenge.

By the way, this is the first time we get to see Orcrist too. Unless I'm wrong, that is an elvish blade that Thorin is holding. And the only elvish sword he ever uses is Orcrist

From his looks Magus is Macho Man Randy Savage as an anime zombie. The black wind howls, and one of you will snap into a Slim Jim ooh yeeeah! -sonicblastpunch

This is cool, but I'm not sure they're actually in costume here. Looks kind of photoshopped.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups

Yeah, I really don't like Kili. Doesn't look like a Dwarf at all.

You beat yourself up with your past. Don't blame yourself, blame the world. Blame God. Blame me.

As best as I can figure, the runes on the sword do indeed read Orcrist. Took a little bit to figure out because Cirth and Angerthas runes are very similar

As a huge Tolkien nerd, I didn't have much hope for this, but it is pleasantly surprising so far.
