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. Amongst these degenerate creatures are the Captains and heralds of Mordor - those who have fought for The Dark Lord Sauron for many years, and who now lead his armies into battle, inspiring their fellow Orcs to fight harder and stronger than ever before.
