I agree, Sting is amazing because it is a handy radar to tell you if Orcs are near. I like its color when it shows their presence...
I am also intrigued by Gurthang. However, when I read "Of Turin Turambar" in the Sil, that made me so depressed. It was Gurthang that killed Beleg, when Turin used it when he thought Beleg was an Orc. Beleg died from the hands of the one he loved the most. Also, it wounded Glaurung while he was lying down, unaware that Turin was creeping to him to kill him with it. And it talked, willingly taking Turin's blood to forget the blood of Beleg its master and Glaurung's blood, who was killed unjustly. Intriguing sword, yes, but it caused too much heartaches to be a favorite of mine.
However, my favorite weapon is Aiglos, my husband Gil-galad's spear! I got to have it when he died...but I returned it to him when I returned to Valinor, before returning here. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] (Okay, it is not from LotR, but still...)
