2 Morannon Orcs
1 Orc Shield
6 Orc Spear

Team 2

5 Moria Goblins Spear

The Goblin force looks great, I would go with that one. I would suggest dropping the Blackshield captain and going for Ashrak, then dropping Durburz for Groblog to take advantage of 5+ Fury. The Dweller, Bat Swarm AND Cave Troll is a good idea, but if you do find you need more numbers, drop the troll. Hope that helped and good luck!

Thanks, I was a little worried about the numbers in the goblin force, but 3 monsters should help, plus I found spamming numbers very boring to play. I would love to change it to Groblog and Asrak but I missed out on getting them and now they are impossible to find, at least I can channel fury. I find Durburz useful but would you replace the gundabad captain with another shaman?

If you don't have Groblog, it becomes more of a toss-up. I would still take the Shaman, because the Troll and Dweller already give you plenty of killing power, but test things out and see what works for you.

Also, since Groblog and Ashrak are unavailable, if you convert them, they count as official models, if I remember correctly.

Ok I will have a look at a possible conversion, although may try out another shaman first and see how it goes

Well, there are too many spears. Bows and swords take the front line off fast. So you will need a lot more shieldmen than spearmen.
