DáinIronfoot wrote: Let me know what (if anything) I should do about the sword. For now, we’re pushing forward...with another Lurtz! This will be a more common version, but still very formidable, as you will see.  Enjoy!
 • Lurtz, Fighting Uruk-hai
Minion • Uruk-hai
Strength: 13
Vitality: 3
Site: 5
Tracker. Damage +1. To play, spot 2  minions (or Saruman).
Lurtz gains hunter 1 for each possession he bears.
While bearing a hand weapon, Lurtz is fierce.
While bearing a ranged weapon, Lurtz is an archer.
“‘They were elves once, taken by the dark powers. Tortured and mutilated. A ruined and terrible form of life. Now...perfected.’”
Nice. Combo intensive, but the results are sweet.
Tracker’s Blade
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Bearer must an Uruk-hai tracker or Uruk-hai hunter.
Each time bearer wins a skirmish, you may exert it to draw a card (or 2 cards if a companion was killed in that skirmish).
Though slightly smaller and lighter than the blades of Saruman’s heavily-armed warriors, the blades of Orthanc’s tracking Uruks were no less deadly.
Nice.
Uruk-hai Bow
Possession • Ranged Weapon
Bearer must an Uruk-hai.
Bearer gains hunter 1.
If bearer is a tracker, bearer is an archer.
“...they had bows of yew, in length and shape like the bows of Men.”
Decent. I’d make it a different/better bonus/have a kicker, a little on the weak side atm. (See Long Battle Bow).
Uruk Shield
Possession • Shield
Bearer must be an Uruk-hai.
The fellowship archery total is -1.
Skirmish: Exert bearer and discard this possession to exert a companion bearer is skirmishing.
Response: If bearer is about to take a wound, discard this possession to prevent that wound.
“Upon their shields they bore a strange device: a small white hand in the centre of a black field....”
Make it discard to wound. |

Well in my humble opinion, Lurtz’s Sword is now all but useless, but I HAVE changed it as recommended.
Now we have lots of possessions, so here’s another minion that gets better the more he has. After that, a few more general Uruks. Enjoy!
Uruk Footman
Minion • Uruk-hai
Strength: 7
Vitality: 2
Site: 5
This minion is strength +2 for each possession it bears.
“‘Their gear is not after the manner of Orcs at all!’”
Uruk Bowman
Minion • Uruk-hai
Strength: 6
Vitality: 2
Site: 5
Tracker. Archer.
Lurtz led a small but well-trained group of Uruk-hai archers to harass the fellowship on their journey down the Great River.
Uruk-hai Scouting Party
Minion • Uruk-hai
Strength: 10
Vitality: 3
Site: 6
Tracker. Archer. Damage +1.
When played at a forest or river site, this minion gains hunter 1 and is site number -1.
“Sam thought he could glimpse black figures running to and fro upon the long shingle-banks that lay under the eastern shore. They seemed very near.” |

Perfect. Hope you have a boost for Uruk archery, its a pretty weak strategy except in TT block.

This guy can’t be , there’s one with the same stats and no abilities at . I might make him with strength 6 and +2 for each.

I tweaked Uruk Footman as SoP and Thran suggested. Thanks, guys!
Here’s a new "theme" for the Uruk trackers: playing out of their normal phase, with nasty little bonuses when you do so. Enjoy!
Uruk Advancer
Minion • Uruk-hai
Strength: 7
Vitality: 2
Site: 5
Tracker.
You may play this minion any time you could play a maneuver or skirmish event.
When you play this minion, you may exert it to draw a card (or 2 cards if you can spot 3 trackers).
Saruman’s minions caught up with the fellowship with astounding speed.
Uruk Plodder
Minion • Uruk-hai
Strength: 5
Vitality: 2
Site: 5
Tracker.
You may play this minion any time you could play a maneuver or skirmish event.
When you play this minion at a forest or river site, you may exert it to make an tracker gain hunter 2 until the regroup phase.
“There was a tumult of many voices far away, cursing and wailing in the darkness....”
Uruk Prowler
Minion • Uruk-hai
Strength: 8
Vitality: 2
Site: 5
Tracker.
You may play this minion any time you could play a maneuver or skirmish event.
When you play this minion, you may exert it and spot an archer (or 2 other trackers) to exert an unbound companion.
“Across the water there were shrill cries, but nothing could be seen.”
What do you think? |

I would give them a bonus for each phase. Like, if played in maneuver or if played in skirmish. I think you can give it 8 strength.

Whoa. That could be quite powerful. I’d lower the strength to 5 or up the strength to 7 and twilight to 3.
