750 point Isenguard list w/shaman to go with my army of the Ents

[Dethail]

So I like playing good versus evil so I have both a giid list, Ents, and this evil list let me know what you think


185Pts uruk captain shield
3 uruk shields
2 uruk bezerkers
6 orks spears
1 uruk banner
185pts uruk captain shield
3 uruk shields
2 uruk bezerkers
6 orks spears
1 uruk banner
175pts uruk captain shield
12 uruk pikeman
205pts uruk shaman armour
4 uruk xbows
1 Troll w/spear

Model count 45, 4 shots per turn, might 7

I mostly play against elfs and dwarves and I never played against ents, but here is my thoughts.
I prefer uruks over orcs in general, so I would filed more of them with shields. But if you want orcs as well give them shields too. Def 4 is the same as def 5 against S3, but you can use the shielding rule in bad situations, and def 5 is better against S4 or higher.
I usually pair up my berserker with feral uruk-hais, and use them to flank the enemy. They are led by a shaman, but a captain would do as well. The crossbow is the best ranged weapon, and I always try to put at least 6 shot using Varsku. I think he is very good for his points. I equip my captain with heavy armour and shield, Def 7 is always nice
My 500 points list looks like this:

uruk captain heavy armour+shield
11 uruk warrior +shields
1 uruk warrior +banner

uruk shaman
6 uruk warrior +pikeman
3 uruk berserker
3 uruk feral

Varsku
4 uruk warrior +crossbows

A small but elit force. For 750 point I plan to put in a Troll and some warg riders. Or more crossbows.

The problem with the above list is that even though it's good, they will be on even numbers with elves and outnumbered by most other armies. Still looks like a fun list! But at 31 models you could be in trouble because when an elite army like elves outnumbers you, you are in big trouble.
I play elves and last week I had 800pts of galadhrim against 400pts of Uruk hai and the balrog. Around even numbers on both sides and I crushed them to a man(well Balrog)
But at 500pts I would be afraid of this list if I didnt have much f5/6 in my army
however if you're a good general youll easily crush many opponents


never faced ferals, how good are they?
