Looks to me like you are way outnumbered points-wise.

You don't say what equipment you have for everybody, but just a rough guess:

Capt, shield: 55 points
KoMT, shield x 4: 56 points
WoMT, banner: 32 points
WoMT, bows x 8: 64 points
WoMT, shield x 8: 64 points
WoMT, spear x8: 64 points

30 models, 2 might, 8 bows, 335 points

VS

Lurtz: 60 points
Morannon Orcs, spear x 10: 80 points
Morannon Orcs, shield x 10: 80 points
Warg Riders, shield x 2: 26 points
Warg Riders, bow x 2: 26 points
Warg Riders, throwing spears x 2: 28 points
Uruk Hai, shields x 10: 100
Uruk Hai, pike x 10: 100

47 models, 3 might, 2 bows, 500 points

I believe the Uruks will feast on man-flesh tonight! :twisted:

BTW, his army isn't LoME legal, because you can't ally Morannon Orcs without a hero. Dropping those would make the contest pretty fair.

The Legions of Middle Earth supplement. It limits the kind of alliances you can make, to prevent cheap power gaming. It also has some excellent generic scenario rules.

Furthermore, if those 20x Uruk-hai are the "Fighting Uruk-hai" (ie warriors with heavy armor and pikes, shields, or crossbows) then his list is also illegal because the Uruk-hai Warriors are in the Legions of the White Hand list while Lurtz is a Isengard Raiders Hero. If they are Uruk-hai Scouts then his list will be legal if he drops the Morannon Orcs.

No problem, we do too. But sometimes knowing the LoME rules helps keep things balanced. And his army *is* 165 points bigger than yours. Tell him he can have one more Uruk hai, and you'll take Aragorn. :)
