Because I thought the Spiders themselves were down at the animal level, 5 or so, and I don't see how Iron Will and a bless gets them to 17.
Before the riders die they're not bad for MR, but the riders are fairly fragile despite the high protection, so you usually wind up with a good number of Spiders, who then die in droves to any MR-based attacks

Good point.

In that case its probably worth positioning the remaining riders to get the bless and let your spiders fend for themselves

But as I've been saying for the most part with the w9 bless my riders remain mostly intact anyway, unless I use them poorly by not massing them enough and letting them get strung out and surrounded.

There's also going to be a handful of the Hunter Lords in there, and those guys are tougher if you equip them a little, or get lucky with heroic abilities, since they kill alot, they tend to compete for the abilities anyway.
