I have just bought the warriors of erebor, some of them have spears some dont. My question is, do you have to pay points for a spear for a model that is allready holding one physicly that i painted. And secondly for the ones who dont carry a x
spear, can i buy one and they can use it as if they were?

1) Yes, you have to pay points for each piece of wargear not listed in the 'Base profile' in the rulebook that is given as an option for that model. So unfortunately yes you will have to pay for the spears even though they are modelled on.
2) Technically the rulebook states a model can only use the wargear that is shown on it "What you see is what you get". However, most opponents apart from those in tournaments likely won't care as like Bilbo said, their is often a lack of weapon parts to equip everything with exactly what you want.
In the future though you can always look at attaching 'spears' on the back of the Warriors of Erebor. My personal cheap recommendation for this is brass rods/wire sharpened to a point at one end and cut to size.
Hope that helps!
LotR stuff has never come with extras (bar some cavalry sets) so why would they change it now? Get a hobby drill and some spears off ebay and do it that way. Looks so much better than just sticking a piece of rod on the back.
