A first look at the Orcs of Thangorodrim! These mid tiers form the bulk of the armies of Melkor. They are well armored, reasonably reliable (when supported) and constitute the flexible core of the legions of Thangorodrim. Model created by TheCoweringComa.

Boldogs are a monstrous fusion of the Hroar (physical form) of an Orc and the Fear (spirit) of a corrupted Maia. Boldogs serve Melkor as lieutenants, leading the legions of Ironshod from the front lines. They are deadly combatants, but their main purpose is to keep the Orcs of Melkor steady in the face of the terrible wrath of the Elves. Model provided by Taurion of Lindon (Castellan of Angmar)

Not until the Fall of Gondolin was any Balrog slain in battle, and the Troll-guard are the sole reason why. Troll-guard will be the speartip of any Angband assault. Though few in number, they are heavily armed and armoured and well suited to front line combat. They charge into battle alongside their Balrog commanders, safeguarding them with their lives and ensuring the Valaraukar survive to continue the fight against the enemies of Morgoth. Model was taken from Reforged, but originally comes from Calypso's alternative third age patch.

Tol in Gaurhoth preview! Members of the Gîjakscaraz clan (Blood Wolves). These heavily armed warriors are the best equipped troops that can be put into the field by the Four Clans in service to Sauron. The Gîjakscaraz are the warrior elite of Tol in Gaurhoth, standing above the Hîshtbukraz (Ashclaws) and even the Scara-hai (Wolf Folk) in the pack hierarchy. They take orders from noone aside from the warlords of the Thrângshik (Ragehowl) clan and Sauron himself.

The Hîshtbukraz, or "Ashclaws", are the least disciplined but most numerous of the Four Clans of Gûlkála. They are nearly completely feral, not so much being deployed in combat as they are unleashed in the general direction of the enemy. Wherever they go, destruction follows as the rage of the Hîshtbukraz cannot be contained. They scorch the earth, drink the rivers dry and fill them with filth; They are the burners of forests and the eaters of children; They clad themselves in dun raiment and smear the ash of slain captives on their bodies during bizzare and bloody rituals, giving them their dealthy pale complexion.

The Scara-hai clan are a fierce warrior folk. Unlike the Hîshtburkaz, they are well trained and better armored making them suitable for front line combat. They form the medium infantry core of the armies of Tol in Gaurhoth and their contribution is indispensable. The reckless charge of the Ashclaws softens up the enemy while the Scara-hai finish the job once the whelps have been scattered. Even among the savage Orcs of Tol in Gaurhoth, the Wolf Folk have particularly gruesome customs: They are hematophages, taking great pleasure in drinking the blood of the enemies they kill. The clans victory feasts are the sites of horrifying massacres, where victims are ritualistically let and then thrown to bands of warriors while still living. Over time their sanguinary inclinations have given members of this clan distinct, ruddy countenances with crimson red eyes.
