For Goblins, perhaps "Alliance Orcs" by "The Red Box". they are 1/72 scale plastics, but scale scale up well with LoTR Goblins. Note that "The Red Box" is a european company and should not be confused with "Red Box Games" Tre Manor's company
This fellow here has a review.

Here's a pic he made of a Caesar Brand 1/72 Orc, an Alliance Orc, and a mines of Moria Goblin.
Another review showing them painted is here:

Not nearly as nice as GW goblins, but pretty good to me, though these might be soft plastic, so you'd need to use something like "Krylon Fusion" as a base coat to get good paint adhesion. The real bonus is that it's 48 figs for $8-12 depending on where you buy them.
There are also 2 other alliance orcs sets though the styling may be a bit different , and orcs on wargs are avialble in light and heavy versions. Also, half orcs which are pretty clear rip-offs of uruki, but being 1/72 they're a bit short.

tried those dark alliance models but there really are too small for anything but goblins, honestly the wargs look like puppys. i'm currently using my batch as goblin town goblins (ignoring their individual gear) cause thats the only statline i thought they could reasonable go through for. So unless you are planning the same thing i wouldn't recommend them. On the other hand, they are dirt cheap...
