So, I'm starting this night goblin army. Doing a lot of trades and stuff, in the end I'll have 30 goblin spider riders.

Just looking for some ideas on how to use them and equip them.. do I want a bunch of little 5 man units with bows bows running around trying to march block or for charge bait or to just be suicide units to draw attention from the other stuff? Would it be worth it to have a really big unit with spears and full command?

How do you use your spiders?

I wouldn't go with all 5 man units. They will be too hard to spread out and prevent the panic issues.
2 units of 15 isn't bad, you'll typically have enough to strip ranks after a round of combat.

hmm, yeah I wasn't thinking about the low leadership and panicing. maybe 2 units of 14? I was going to use 2 of the spiders for a "wolf" chariot conversion with an old beastman chariot I never finished.
