The '''Void Spinner''' is the [[Night Spinner|Night Spinner's]] big brother and what it wishes it could be if it ever managed to grow up. [[Craftworld]] [[Biel-Tan]] seem to have an [[/d/|intense hardon]] for these vehicles, being the largest and only users of these tanks on a regular basis. As regular as you can get with the deployment of super-heavies.

==Overview==
For... [[Derp|''some reason'']], the majority of the [[Eldar]] considers the Void Spinner as an [[Heresy|abomination]], as it represents the most dangerous acts that their race is capable of, which is the misuse of their knowledge and power. Although seeing how much Eldar [[Farseer|Farseers]] [[Fail|tend to misuse and fuck up their knowledge and power on a constant basis,]] this so called 'dangerous acts' is rather....pointless in meaning in the first place. Though the eldar do not object so much to the use of the [[Void Spinner Array]] itself but to the lacing of the monofilament webs with a bacteria created for terraforming purposes, to turn planets into maiden worlds or because some eldar decided to use a planet as canvas for an art piece. Thus, most eldar dislike using a tool created to support life and beautify things for war. Craftworlds that use the void spinner, like Biel-Tan, though, don't really care, since they will use anything that could be used for war regardless of their intended purpose.

The Void Spinner is basically a [[Scorpion]] super heavy tank that has had the oversized [[Bright Lance]]s ripped off and replaced with oversized [[Doom Weaver]]s called the [[Void Spinner Array]]. While it shares similar levels of derpness with the Night Spinner due to the whole "let's launch a really light net into the air and hope a sudden gust of wind doesn't tangle it up", unlike the Night Spinner the nets fired by the Void Spinner "also unleash a barrage of bacteria and wraithbone parasites which are the same used in the old times during the seeding, as well as nurturing of the Maiden Worlds. This leads to [[awesome|the scouring of all life from the target as they are not only killed by the constricting and slicing threads of the monofilament, but they are also broken down on a molecular level, with everything from flesh and bones to rock and metal being affected]]."

The intended result of such an attack could be a more reasonable reason why most Eldar abhor the use of these vehicles. This is because in the minds of the Eldar, the methods used by the Void Spinner were intended to create life by shaping worlds to suit their race, not destroy it. Thus, [[Gay|like flower fucking pansies]], the actions of the Void Spinners are typically met with revulsion except by the people of Biel-Tan, who actually seem to have a spine and even testicles to approve of the destruction of their enemy as being justifiable. Although, they use it against Orks to destroy spores. For some reason they don't just use the technology to purge planets of Ork spores in secret. And do that to freaking Ork planets. But noooo that would require getting off their asses and doing shit themselves.

Cobra

[[File:CobraType1.jpg|250px|left|thumb|The Type I Cobra.]]
The '''Cobra''' is one of the three super-heavy skimmers of the [[Eldar]], the others being the [[Scorpion]] and the [[Lynx]]. Apparently, in Eldar mythology, the cobra was the brother of the serpent but a short-tempered, fickle ally, to whom the serpent turned to for aid only during the darkest days of the [[War in Heaven]].

*'''Length:''' 18.43m
*'''Weight:''' 70 tonnes
*'''Crew:''' 2 crew
*'''Max Speed:''' 280 kph
==Overview==
The Cobra is an Engine of Vaul, much like it's counterpart, the Scorpion, but re-armed with a large Distortion Cannon ([[D-Cannon]]) called a D-Impaler. The Cobra is best compared to the [[Shadowsword]], a titan killer that uses its D-Impaler to rip large chunks of the enemy into the void.

There are two versions of the Cobra. Type I has a turret-mounted D-Cannon, while the Type II has a fixed forward firing D-Cannon. The one you see here is the Type II version of the Cobra super-heavy tank.

As with all Eldar vehicles, crew numbers are kept to a minimum. The dwindling civilization of the Eldar means they must rely upon sophisticated technology and the Wraithbone construction of their vehicles, freeing more warriors from crewman duties to fill the ranks of [[Guardian]] and [[Aspect Warriors]] squads.

The Cobra uses the same chassis as the [[Scorpion]]; this means that the super-heavies of the Eldar are stupidly fast and agile both in fluff-terms and on the tabletop. Other than its stupidly humongous D-cannon which makes even [[void shield]]s collapse on themselves like wet tissue paper, the Cobra also comes equipped with a titan-grade Holo-field as well as secondary armaments such as a [[Bright Lance]], [[Eldar Missile Launcher]], [[Scatter Cannon]], [[Shuriken Cannon]] or [[Starcannon]]. Some Cobras are also upgraded to include Star Engines and/or Vectored Engines for improved handling and speed.

Death Jester

[[File:DeathJesterColor.jpg|250px|right|thumb|One wonders how they are not '''''yet''''' corrupted by [[Khorne]].]]
'''Death Jesters''', or Death-heads (margorach), are [[Harlequin]] heavy weapon specialists. Not to be confused with the [[Eldar]] [[Dark Reapers]] (although they might as well be the same thing), Death Jesters stand apart from the rest of the force, providing much of the masque's heavy weapon support. During performances, their role is to play Death, in which they perform death-defying stunts and feats of escapology. They are known for their morbid and ironic sense of humour, and their mocking laughter is known to signal impending doom. [[Death's Legacy|The macabre uniform]] of the Death Jester is constructed from the bones of the troupe's previous Death Jester; when one dies, his bones are used to fashion his successor's costume.

They can sometimes be heard chuckling or humming softly in the midst of battle with a [[Matt Ward|shit-eating grin,]] and will occasionally pause to sketch a deep bow or offer mocking applause to foes whose horrible fates have especially entertained them. Killing the foe is not enough for a Death Jester; to make war worthwhile, they must intersperse death with ironic humour. [[Troll|Slaying an officer at the crescendo of a rallying speech, panicking enemy sappers so they flee into their own minefield, or wounding a heavy weapon trooper so that their shot flies wide and destroys the very objective they were defending]] - these are the kinds of cruel deeds in which Death Jesters find their amusement. Indeed, there are few in the galaxy as talented or imaginative when it comes to writing the tragic comedy of war.

Essentially imagine an entire army of [[That Guy]] and it will give you a picture on who they are.

== Equipment ==

Death Jesters use clothing and equipment which feature skulls and death motifs. They wear [[Death's Legacy|carapace armour]] enhanced with visual disruption and conversion field technology. As the heavy specialists of the army, they carry an array of deadly weaponry, from the conventional Shuriken Cannon of the Craftworld Eldar, to the specialised Firepike, or the morbid Shrieker Cannon. The Shrieker Cannon is the trademark weapon of the Death Jesters, as only they create and maintain them. They are a variant of the Shuriken Cannon, but instead of firing a hail of projectiles, they fire only a single shot. This shot is impregnated with a virulent acid that causes the victim's blood vessels and insides to expand violently. [[FATAL|This usually results in a small explosion that showers squadmates with pieces of their companion.]]

The weight of their weapons is offset by their flip belts. They are also known to use vortex grenades.

For some reason you cannot use Firepikes in the tabletop, despite the lore saying you can. Its not even in Legends.
