SteveHOST

And I just love these characters.
SteveHOST
5:03
And it makes a lot of sense now that we have Minas Tirith and we have Grond, we gotta get some Oliphants with it, right? Well, the updated rumor is we are supposed to not only be getting it here in February, but it's gonna be 2017 pieces, which we knew, but an updated price of $230.
SteveHOST
5:21
And this is supposed to be an Oliphant diorama with three minifigs included on it.
SteveHOST
5:29
pretty excited about this one.
AlexHOST
46:55
No, no.
AlexHOST
46:55
He bought the Mumak army.
AlexHOST
46:57
What's the
MattGUEST
46:58
names?
AlexHOST
47:00
Roger.
AlexHOST
47:01
Yeah, he bought them.
AlexHOST
47:02
He might buy Mumak, by the way.
AlexHOST
47:04
And then my second game was against Chuck, which we already talked about that.
David NaimonHOST
17:09
And perhaps suspiciously, they don't come from a non-specific elsewhere.
David NaimonHOST
17:12
They come from the south and they come from the east and they ride creatures called Oliphants.
David NaimonHOST
17:17
So there is – it feels to me like there is a racial coding and that maybe there would be an entering of a – like if you put other characters in it who are not white, maybe they would just be non-white characters in a white space.
David NaimonHOST
17:30
They'll be orcs.
Matthias AustinHOST
18:26
He surfs down a staircase at the Battle of Helm's Deep.
Matthias AustinHOST
18:29
He single-handedly takes out a Mumakil in its battle tower at the Battle of the Palinor Fields.
Matthias AustinHOST
18:34
And in the Hobbit films, I mean, he was essentially a video game character leaping up falling rocks to get to the top of a cliff.
Matthias AustinHOST
18:43
Okay, so maybe that last one blurred the lines between fun action sequence and over-the-top Looney Tunes antics, but even in the books, he is a standout.
Dan CaffreyPANELIST
5:31
It'll drop something in there like, oh, the great beasts were pulling these towers.
Dan CaffreyPANELIST
5:36
Wait, what great beasts? Are these the Oliphants? Are they something else? Is there some dinosaur creature that you're just dropping in there? So I think they would bring the best out in each other.
Dan CaffreyPANELIST
5:44
Although, I don't know.
Dan CaffreyPANELIST
5:45
I wonder if Tolkien would like King.
Nick PolkGUEST
30:04
Fantastic.
Ryan DoesHOST
30:04
Then we have the Mumakil, who are the, you know, the Haradrin, the Oliphants, that kind of group.
Ryan DoesHOST
30:12
of Sauron's servants.
Ryan DoesHOST
30:14
And then I threw the Ents in here because the Ents are a monstrous being.
Marshall SutcliffeHOST
22:58
Uh, there's a Mishra's Workshop, which I know will catch Luis's eye.
Marshall SutcliffeHOST
23:01
There's also an Oliphaunt.
Marshall SutcliffeHOST
23:03
But I view this pack as a bit of a punt, and I, I guess I could c- consider Smuggler's Copter, but I'm not as big of a fan of it.
Marshall SutcliffeHOST
23:11
And I would actually just take Gut.
speaker_4HOST
18:05
huge.
speaker_5HOST
18:06
And then for the horizon, you hear the blare of the Mumakil horns and giant war elephants arrive.
speaker_4HOST
18:12
It's not just an escalation of scale.
speaker_4HOST
18:14
It's an escalation of feeling.
RobertHOST
12:06
This was undoubtedly heroic and effective in the short term, but perhaps not the most sensible tactic in that battle.
RobertHOST
12:13
Sauron's forces still had a huge numerical advantage, and those Mumakil were starting to have an effect.
RobertHOST
12:19
Even well-trained horses were panicked, and Gothmog, who, to be fair to him, seems to have reacted quickly and competently to his new command, ordered his troops to surround the Rohirrim, cutting them off from any help from Minas Tirith.
RobertHOST
12:32
Not that most of the troops in Minas Tirith were in any shape to help anyway, with one exception we'll come onto in a moment.
RobertHOST
12:39
This was when Denethor was getting all funeral pyre fixated, and Gandalf had to ride all through the city just to intervene and save Faramir's life while the bottom tier of the city was still in flames.
RobertHOST
12:51
This is the second dark point of the battle.
RobertHOST
12:54
We sometimes like to imagine the arrival of the Rohirrim as being the turning point, which it was for a while, but Sauron's numerical superiority was so huge that once the impact of that initial cavalry charge had been dealt with, and the riders were caught up in the hack and thrust of hand-to-hand combat with Mumakil running amok, things swiftly turned bad once more.
RobertHOST
13:16
Éomer and his surviving forces were surrounded, and took to defending a hill.
