Just curious to see where the basis was for the idea of Gimli throwing axes in the movie as well as Troll Axethrowers as a unit in one of the LOTR games, probably just an invention of the movies.

I dont think there is any instance where a troll throws axes... in the books or movies. I'm posotive about the books, i dont remember axe throwing trolls in the movies either, but i may be wrong about both.

Throwing axes seems like a wasteful habit.
This is in the wrong forum. =) =) =) |

As this is not a book discussion, I'm moving the thread to the Novices and Newcomers forum.
