You know, orcs are the main thing that's kept me from getting into the LOTR game. I love the setting, but from a wargamming perspective, they don't have enough variety in "Evil Armies". An all-RingWraith army isn't feasible, and I just don't like Peter Jackson orcs very much (or Haradrim, etc).
Yeah, there have been a lot of styles of orcs, but I agree the PJ LOTR orks are definitely on the less interesting end of the scale. Of course I'm sure part of that was having to film eleventy billion of them, can't give them too much individual character.

Yeah, I saw some of the eary production designs, and they looked way more like fairytale creatures with distorted features, but it just wasn't feasible, financially, to do that many elaborate prosthetics.
