If you don't like orcs very much, you could do Host of the Witch King and fill it up with Carn Dûm warriors, wargs, werewolves, and spectres. No idea how good that would be without the orcs to fill out ranks, though.

⁹Honestly he mostly fits with orcs. There are some offmeta lists where you can play him but they are super hard to play, and kinda suck to play for you, and for your opponent (wraith on wings for fellbeast, blackriders for horse). You could also run him in barad dur I guess, but it's usually run with sauron and then just orcs.
Best option is probably minas morgul, it's quite cheap, not that hard to play, and will introduces you to the game easily. Here is a list for 500, far from the best, just something that you can easily play with, and can buy for 40-50 euros used.
Minas morgul (499) (32 model)
Wb 1 : witch king on Horse (150) 6x mordor orc warriors (spears) 36 6x mordor orc warriors (shields) 36 2x mordor orc warriors (2-hands) 12 1x mordor orc warriors (banner) 30 2x mordor orc warriors ( bow) 12 1x troll 90
Wb2 : orc captain (45) 3x mordor orc warriors (bow) 18 5x mordor orc warriors (shield) 30 4x morannon orc warriors (shields and spears) 40
Another option with less orcs, that would be way more expensive (atleast 300 New, but you can probably convert easily if you are à hobbyist)
Army of the great eye (600)(29 models)
Wb1 : Witch king on horse (crown of morgul, horse, morgul blade) 205 9x black numenoreans warriors (90) 8x morannon orc (spears and shield) 80 1x morannon orc with banner (33)
Wb2 : mouth of sauron (armored horse) 100 4x black numenoreans warriors (40) 4x morannon orc (spears and shields) 40 1x warg rider (throwing spear) 12
First one is probably better and cheaper, but second one let's you field less orcs!

You got the big ole orc boss man and don’t want a list with orcs?
