Its a nice list, and with the troll chieftain you get to try out the new moster rules! (if you play with those)
There is one thing I would def. change and that is to change al the normal mordor orc's to morannon orcs ( if you dont have morannon orcs, proxy them with the mordor orcs )
Against elves it will pay off, all your orcs are str 4, and can have def. 6. So you will always wound on a 5 or lower and he will need a six against all your shield carrying orcs. (just give them all a shield)
While your orcs are trying to kill you can use the chieftain to knock down the leven lines by throwing elves trhough them.
With your orcs being much stronger and already having a chieftain, you could consider, swapping the captain for a shaman.

Thanks for your suggestions
I'm not sure on Morannons purely because of the points tbh - I used to play against an army of gondor (albeit without either of us using warband rules) and experience taught me repeatedly that numbers trumped strength, granted though, they would be more difficult to kill. I'll give 'em a try if using a basic swarm doesn't work though.
See I was originally thinking of running a shaman for fury, however I was wondering how good it is, I've got the old rules for it from the LOTR sbg (don't fail courage and normal troops don't die on a 6 until the shaman loses a fight), but was curious how good it was in practice, you know?
Cheers!
