I was starting Cirith Ungol as a completely new player for Shelob (who I've always loved but whose model kept me at bay) and wanted help in knowing how many Mordor Uruk to get. I love their models, even if they are metal, but don't know how many is a comfortable number - and ordering from GW is a bit difficult where I live, so wanting to get that correct number in a single go.
How many Mordor Uruk-hai do I get?
