Uruk-hai Pikemen formed the core of the ten thousand strong army that Saruman the White sent to attack the Rohirrim's fortress of Helm's Deep. Uruk-hai Pikemen were equipped with large pikes around 12 feet in length in order to counter the cavalry that were the main strength of Rohan's army. Their armor was similar to the rest of Saruman's Uruk-hai consisting of a steel segmented breastplate, greaves, a helmet and gauntlets which often varied in appearance and quality due to being produced by crude orc smiths. Nevertheless they were one of the most heavily armed and armored soldiers that fought on Sauron's side during the War of the Ring.
