Fellowship - PJ played a drunk who staggers towards the Hobbits as they enter Bree

Two Towers - Rohan Soldier throwing a spear from the battlements of Helm\'s Deep

Return of the King - Pirate who gets shot and dies in a rather hammy fashion...

George Lukas and Robin Williams both collect historical minis. They don\'t paint them though just buy already painted ones for a butt load of money.

I saw the peter jackson model at Warhammer World. It was sculpted by the Perry bros., and two castings were made; one remained at Warhammer World and Peter Jackson got the other :D

Imagine the amount of money people would pay for one of those in an auction :eek:

I think they had permission from GW to use the name and the pictures on the sleeves, but were sued when they used the same motifs on T-shirts... :rolleyes:
Erm... surely thats not true, as Bolt Thrower were on a GW record label and were sold in GW stores IIRC...

Me and Cédric had that discussion a while ago. Bolt Thrower were on Earache which has nothing to do with Warhammer Records. Warhammer Records put out mostly old school heavy metal and I think a record by Saxon was their biggest achievment.

Bolt Thrower\'s first album \"Realm of Chaos\" was on GW\'s record label. It was released on cassette and ultra-bad-ass picture disk vinyl. One side had the old 40k cover image and the other had the old fantasy battle cover image. The lyrics were all about GW stuff, they had a song called \"world eaters.\" The moved to earache after this ablum.

As you can see, I was a big fan of the band. Still listen to them all the time.

here come the noise marines.....

I know RobbIE williams the singer and is mate both have 40K armies and bloodbowl.

I\'m sure out there there are thousands of celebs who collect.Especially historic minis.

Problem is how many of them will actually shout out about it?? It took 3 years of me working in a place before I found out 2 of my co workers were collectors.
