Your scouts can only be 1/3 bows since they are from a different faction. Just use trackers if you have them. If not mordor uruks with bow or regular orcs with bow and spear.

If you are armed with a bow you do not get the +1 to defence for carrying a shield, it would be best to drop the shields and spend 10 points elsewhere. I would recommend switching the uruk scouts to orc trackers (as stated by Jobu you can't have them 100% bow as they are a different faction) and then with the extra points from that, add a few more morannon orcs with spear and shield.

thanks for clarification on Bows, just thought bad is bad
have palyed 1 game with list unfortunately against a all bodyguard Gondor army consisiting of citadel guard archers, fountain court guard and a few heroes, Ouch !!!!
killed the fellbeast in second turn and unfortunatey bad rolling on my behalf didn't help
so as per suggestions have changed to Mordor Uruks with bow and swapped Uruk captain for Morannon Orc Captain
with 15 points saved have added a spectre to draw out heroes if can
so warband 1 has spectre added and warband 3 changed to above (mordor uruks with morannon captain)
thanks again
