User blog comment:Undead RVD/Orcs (LotR) vs the Army of Darkness/@comment-6500101-20130217071724

short- Although the longsword is usually a decent weapon it would be clumsy when dealing with smaller, faster targets. When weapons are ineffective due to undead factors you want more strikes, I would use a machine gun on a regenerator; it is a similar case here. Coupled with rigamortis and low agility the orcs win this hands down.

mid- winged spears have more range and are resistant to splintering and judging by mordor wood I believe they are highly fragile. Imagine getting your head grabbed by someone taller than you while you struggle to reach their gut, now imagine their hand is a spear. Also within piercing fashion and small hit zones bones are very resilient to pinpoint strikes. Undead win

long- As mentioned with spears, arrows are even less effective...not much else. Undead win

special- The orc axe is more likely to hit its target while the battleaxe is slow and crudely edged. I apologize but with generic weaponry comes a generic evaluation, Orcs.

armour- the armour of the undead is more effective, but we must see that they died in batlle and  were buried with it, corrosion is likely to have occurred on the already battle damaged armour, while the orcs have more modern and covering armour, but more simplisistic material is used. No edge.

x-factor- Evil Ash is more durable when it comes to battle wounds and Gothmog is powerful, but the orcs have something the AoD do not, battle temperament. They fight for their lives while the undead saunter about like pitiful battle droids. This one goes to the orcs for this simple reason, they are faster and more mindful of surroundings.

Result: Although edges tilt in orc favor, Gothmog himself will be likely to fall to Evil Ash because he does not have the unique attributes of his kin. I foresee a victory on his part if his soldiers can defeat the opposing minions and help him fight Ash, but I am banking that the undead can hold their ground with cover fire from their superior archers while Ash defeats Gothmog and routes the remaining enemies.
