Best[]
- The Giant Spiders are the best. two S5 attacks? WOO.
Re:Best[]
Actually for a non-unique unit I would say Mordor Trolls are the best with their 3 attacks at 7 strength along with their defense of 7.

- BUT they are hefty in points vailue, and not as cool. Demon spiders are much cooler. I would know, I have an army of them.
- How many pts are the spiders again? I dont have the book with their stats.
- 25 for spiders, 75 for the queen and 90 for shelob. Worth every point... --Sam Kay 19:48, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- Gotta admit thats pretty good. Do you play the creatures of mirkwood and Dol Guildar often? That is the main team that I have little experience with. I personally play a lot of Easterlings and Haradrim and used to play Gondor, gotta say the best new unit is the haradrim Serpent Riders. They have poisened lances that allow them to re-roll all 1's when attapmting to wound which means they wound a Urik-Hai w/shield on a 5 or 6, but also re-rolls ones making it have nearly a 50/50 chance instead of a 1-in-3 chance plus they get the cavalry bonuses (against anyone with a 4 or 5 def they need a 4+). So I think they are definately worth 13 pts.

- Just the spiders. And I play 40k more often than LotR... I find teaming spiders with goblins works well, and spiders work well against uruks. It's mostly the fact that they are spiders that gets me playing them. I like spiders alot (see my user page)! Sadly normal spiders (the 25pt ones) don't count as cavalry. But full movement in difficult terrain? That's nice! --Sam Kay 15:04, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
official[]
IS the LOTR-Tabletop game and the Games Workshop storybooks of LOTR official? A Part of the story? Kanonical? LP4ever28 17:39, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
