Kurva means hooker in Slovakian by the way, only fitting that it is the shaman I guess... enchanting
Nice thematic army, I like a hard hitting heroes like Gothmog but personally never can resist the urge to field some extra trolls.

I like the colors on the marsh specter, the faded red looks good there and the pale skin on the orc. The red on other models is very bold and over powers the models, I would lighten it up on the tongues of the wrgs to break it up as well as find a shade and further highlight for the red to help with them, perhaps on future batches and adds to the force. |

Thanks Sticky fingersss. I've been drawing up different heraldry for each of my armies depending on where they'er from, and since the average orc is as smart as a bag of spanners they will follow a banner that show's where they live Red is the only colour that i'm finding difficult to balance out properly |

Nice work  What is written on the banner? Is that just using rune letters? |

For your reds have you tried mixing in browns to mute it? Browns are often the way to go when adding depth to reds |

Great looking army. I do like the orc tracker conversions...you don't see many...or I haven't anyway. Keep up the good work!

Runes on the Banner are from Dante's Inferno the words over the gates of Hell ''Abaondon all Hope'' in German, looked better than in Irish or English Thanks for the advice on the reds I'll try that on my next Mordor units |

I think Sauron needs to be darker, use some black and brown washes all over the figure to take away the clean look. |
