Hi, I'm no expert for Isengard, but here is my first thought: There are no bows or crossbows in your list!

I would consider to take some Uruk hai scouts with bows into your army (S3 bows now with the new profiles!). I'm no fan of Uruk hai crossbows, because it's a little boring to play them (put them on a spot on the tabletop, leave them there, try shooting every turn and hope the best). But the scouts are more interesting.

And it's better for the morale if you can shoot back when under fire.

Well, that's just my opinion. I suppose, you wanted to give your combined army the character of heavy armourered heavy hitting melee troops. And the Scouts maybe don't fit to that character. But historical armies had light infantery too.

Tell us later, how your final army did perform, please. Would be interesting to read.

I’m the Isengard half of this list and yeah I completely agree. Would love to take some bows but don’t have any models currently and put way too much money into my Minas Tirith army. About the only difference that can be made on the Isengard is swapping saruman with 2 captains and throwing berserkers. I’ve played Lurtz with captains a few times at 500 points and find the captains to be “meh” and figured Saruman would be much much more useful.
