The Lord of The Rings - Armies of Evil

A stronger strain of Orc has appeared within the armies of the Black Gate and Barad-dûr – the Morannon Orcs. Their armour is thick and strong, providing them additional resilience. This enhanced wargear, coupled with the Morannon Orcs’ increased strength, makes them ideal shock troops for Sauron’s war against Minas Tirith.

Orcs are the foulest creatures to walk Middle-earth. They are evil-hearted monsters that rejoice in slaughter and destruction. The Orc’s natural aggression makes them the perfect tool of evil intent, their numberless hordes forming the core of the Mordor army. While they’re individually cowardly, they gain strength through numbers – a mass of Orc warriors can be a terrifying sight for any enemy of the Dark Lord.

If Orcs are the foulest creatures to walk Middle-earth then the Uruk-hai are the most dangerous perversion of the breed. Where ordinary Orcs are crook-limbed and timid, the Uruk-hai are strong, muscular, upright warriors of greater skill and courage. Equipped with flame-forged armour and brutal blades from the forges of Isengard, the Uruk-hai march to war against the Free People of Middle-earth. They care not for land or possessions, nor for homes and families; they simply kill all in their path in pursuit of endless war and the taste of raw man-flesh.

The armies of Harad often employ Mûmakil, massive war-beasts trained by the Mahud, to trample their enemies under colossal hooves. A Mumak is nigh unstoppable once it begins its charge, tossing aside enemies like broken dolls. A Mûmak can break through an enemy line while Haradrim warriors rain deadly arrows from atop the howdah on its mighty back.
