Good point. I originally wanted a more specific name and played around with Mordor Spears or Orc Spears, but they sounded too much like an individual's name to me, possibly because of Britney Spears (curse you!). Now I'm thinking I might rename the squad Mordor Orcs.

As for Lurtz's ability, it does have the potential to hit hard, but I was hoping the manuevering required to surround a target with orcs and the fact that it was a single shot against one target would help balance it out. As you said, playtesting will tell. I think if I end up making any change to it, it will simply be to lower the max bonus to +2 auto skulls.
