Lords of Middle-Earth adds more dice and more miniatures. It also adds in characters such as Elrond and the Balrog and also adds alternate versions of several characters already in the game. Basically, this expansion adds a lot thematically which in turn makes the game more enjoyable. While I don't think you necessarily need the expansions for WotR; Lords of Middle-Earth takes the game up a few notches.

I was kind of shocked at the rules load of this expansion. Did we really need this many rules? I think it could have been done with a lot less, with much more of the heavy lifting done with cards of various kinds.

I would play with this expansion every time, adds just enough without adding too much rules overhead.
