[NecrosaroIII]

Fingolfin, Feanor, Hurin and Turin are some of the greatest warriors in Ardan history.

Feanor - Killed countless orcs and went toe-to-toe with balrogs before being overwhelmed

Fingolfin - Duelled the Dark Lord himself before dieing.

Hurin - Killed numerous orcs and trolls at the Battle of Unnumbered Tears

Turin - Killed the original dragon.

If the 4 of them were teamed up, would they be able to kill an army of 10,000 orcs? 100,000?

You'll have to be a little more specific about the orc variety. I assume Uruk-hai are excluded.

Moria orcs were clearly carried by the Balrog.

Let's go with standard orcs. Mordor stock. Uruk hai would be too overpowering

Hmm, you picked the most militarized, best-armed and best-organized orc; driven more than any other orc by the sleepless malice of Sauron.

I'll take Feanor and Fingolfin as archetypical of your selection here. Taking on either a Vala or a Maia is pretty heavy stuff. I'm inclined to say 1000 Mordor Orcs each. I have a taxonomy in my head like so:

1000 Mordor orcs, or
500 Uruk-hai, or
5000 Moria orcs

I.e. a hybridized Uruk-hai is something like twice the foe that a Mordor orc is, while it takes something like 5 or more Moria orcs to match the strength of a Mordor orc. Moria orcs to my mind are essentially squatters, having taken Moria only after the dwarves were driven out.
