Another "Who is better" topic? I'm not attacking you here, but really, you can't do a topic like this. It won't work. It's all situational. If you want more might, and someone to guard the flanks, then get the twins. If you're looking for that ever-important F7 and a solid hero, go for Glorfindel. He's also not going to go crazy if someone else dies. That really does hurt the Twins. If you're confident that you can keep both Twins alive, then they're more than worth their points. My personal preference is Glorfindel, LotW, though I like the Twins, too. |

Twins! They are effectively 70 points each, with a Fight 6, strength 4, high courage and a number of offensive or defensive attacks. Glorfindel is good if you are facing trolls but I'd rather pick twins in a tournament |

Well if I'd take to consideration how they play on the field... most enemies don't even have FV of 6 nor 7. And you get 6 mights!!!!! also twins are able to kill like 6 orcs in a row Glorfindel can't... Though the LotW is Resitant to magic making him a very hardy opponent to face and yes his FV of 7 is almost the best what evil could throw around... and twins do have heir own set back

It depend a lot of the sort of scenario's for a tournament, need you two heroes or just one very strong hero. And it depends of the rest of your army, how many points and how many other heroes or in it. And the opponent and your tactic against him. If it is for the same army as on TLA, 1500 points against mordor with 2 Trolls i would take Glorfindel. He is also magic resistant against the two ringwraiths. |

All "who is better" questions are doomed... 
If I'm facing the Spider Queen, a Moria Troll, or more than two Cave Trolls, Glorfindel is better since he has a much better chance of winning fights. And I never want to lose a fight to the Spider Queen when she charges. But the monkey twins are *great* for most other situations. |

its not a brilliant question but ill give as gooder answer as i can Glorfindel has a higher fight value of 7!! which can beat trolls, and is resistant to magic!! so hees a brilliant hero tackeler Ell 'n' El are horde tackerers so neither is 'better' it really depends on what you whant to do |

In this day of the ringwraith I personally find Glorfindel to be an amazing choice...resistance to magic should not be underestimated, it really makes a huge difference against spellcasters. His fight value of 7 and the ability to cause terror are also definitely important to remember. Terror is very useful against low courage models and can leave him free to get to grips with that pesky spellcaster |

yes...they both have their merits in certain circumstances. I like them both personally thought I definitely like the glorfindel model better. I think they both earn their points in different ways |

when it is said glorfindel lotw is resistant to magic do they mean he is flat out resistant and he can't be targeted by magic or is it like the rule for hobbits where they can roll to resist withiut using will |

Resistant to Magic is a rule defined in the ORB I think. It's the same across the board for all models with Resistant to Magic. |
