Isengard Battle Company

When Saruman the White -- wisest of all the Istari -- fell from grace and cast his lot in with the Red Eye of Mordor, he was given the key to creating an army bred for destruction. The Uruk-hai, mightiest of all the breeds of Orcs, were reared in huge numbers in Orthancs pits, and there Saruman mustered his army. Intent on doing the bidding of his new master, Saruman unleashed his creations into the Westfold. Hacking and burning, they wrought terrible devastation by separating into small roving bands seeking out villages and killing at random. An Isengard Battle Company represents such a group of raiders descending on Rohan with unbridled cruelty and aggression. As the company gains momentum and inicts damage on its enemies, the minions of Saruman ock to join it and swell its ranks with vile warriors. A note on Isengard Battle Companies. Orc Warriors within an Isengard Battle Company do not receive promotions in the same way as the Uruk-hai and treat any Promoted result as No Effect. However, they may become Heroes as normal. Uruk-hai Berserkers are far to battle crazed and unstable to ever become Heroes and cannot be promoted.
