==Warp Spiders== [[File:Warp Spider Exarch.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Ah! A WAHP SPIDEAH! β[[Diomedes|Captain Diomedes]]]] Warp Spiders are named for the beings of pure energy that inhabit the Infinity Circuit and travel through its links in the [[Webway]], purging it of foreign influences (such as daemons or psychic intruders). Though they are identified as Aspect Warriors, it is not entirely known what Khaine's connection to the Warp Spiders is, since they do not have a fixed Phoenix Lord and it has been established in [[Gav Thorpe]]'s ''Paths of the Eldar'' series that Khaine's influence has no place in the Webway, which in fact is why Exarchs and Phoenix Lords count as mini-Infinity Circuits on their own. [[C.S Goto]]'s contentious book ''Eldar Prophecy'' presented Lhykosidae (Irish spelling of lycosidae, or "wolf spiders"), whose armour materialised spontaneously at the Warp Spiders' shrine during a time of crisis when he was most needed, rather than being a suit of armour that gets passed from bearer to bearer, adding personalities to the sentience within the suit. If Lhykosidae is a Phoenix Lord born of the Webway, then his personality would have to be the gestalt consciousness of the [[derp|ENTIRE SPECIES.]] Fucking Goto. That said, his title is "Wraith Spider", not Phoenix Lord, so (at least for now) we can readily get away with rejecting the idea that he's a Phoenix Lord. The Eldar's premier jetpack infantry, Warp Spiders use the warp to teleport from place to place, allowing them to strike at their enemies from virtually any location in the blink of an eye. Their guns are called [[Death Spinner]]s, which fire a mist of monomolecular threads that expand and slice through flesh and light infantry armor on contact with little effort. While this makes the Spiders somewhat unreliable against power-armored units since the spinners' threads don't penetrate armour very well, they are nevertheless a frightening foe with the sheer amount of S6 shots they can put out with them. Their Exarch is given two death spinners which are attached to the back of his armor for mobility <s>,or a single [[Spinneret Rifle]] for anti-armour punching,</s> as well as two [[Power weapon#Powerblades|power blades]] which he holds for close combat, though on the tabletop, he's generally outclassed in assault by any unit that can melee better than a Guardsman. May represent Khaine in his aspect as an eternal guardian of the Eldar and Webway.
