The Orc Wars are almost upon us!

In three days the fighting will begin, as 64 of the most fearsome Uruks, Uruk-hai, Orcs and Goblins enter the Mordor Thunderdome, two at a time in 32 bloody match-ups!

“Two orcs enter… one orc leaves!”

Here in Mordor, we have rounded up 64 Orcs from the books and the films and will pit them one against the other in bloody confrontations until only one champion remains!

“It’s gonna be  bloodbath!”

Each of the 64 Orcs in this years Orc Wars 2016, comes directly from Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and the films by Peter Jackson. Each orc is given a name (if they don’t already have one) created in the Black Speech with our Orc Name Generator. Each orc has a ‘Battle Card’ that will be shown alongside the Mordor Orc Wars Poll when the voting begins!

This way you can see the Orcs picture, name and the weapons they have been trained with. Many of the Orcs you will recognize from the films… even those, who we’ve supplied names for in the Black Speech,
