The Skyweaver is a type of Jetbike used by Eldar Harlequins. It differs from a standard Eldar Jetbike as it has enough room for a secondary rider. Skyweavers descend upon the enemy like a bunch of psychedelic killer clowns who shit themselves laughing when they see you shit yourself. They often trail cloaks of hallucinatory LSD colour and light as they punch through the enemy ranks. Colourfully armed and incredibly fast, squads of Skyweavers outmanoeuvre and dazzle their foes in sparkly pixie stuff before cutting them to pieces with concentrated Dakka. Foot troops and armoured vehicles are reduced to sparkly cocaine-fueled shit as the literal flying decks of weaponized rainbows blasts them apart in a godless amount of pretty lights from their Haywire Cannons.
The secondary Skyweaver rider is typically armed with Star Bolas...don't ask us why the Harlequins still utilize a pre-Medieval weapon. Anyways, the Star Bolas and its weighted plasma charges are hurled to wrap around necks, limbs or gun barrels. The eventual results of these devices can tear a Space Marine in two (so, it mass-produces dreadnought pilots?), or sever the leg of an armoured walker. Though star bolas are powerful due to being essentially two plasma grenades attatched to a string, their main disadvantage is that they can be hurled but once, so some Players choose to go into battle bearing long-bladed Zephyrglaives instead. These weapons turns the Skyweaver from a bizarre LSD-concoctegd bola-swinging chariot into a flying meat blender.
In Eldar mythology, the Skyweaver was the youngest and most capricious of the Cosmic Serpent's brood. Depicted as a gestalt being composed of hundreds of small flying serpents, the Skyweaver spoke always in riddles, and was forever hurried and distracted by his myriad desires. As a boon to the Laughing God, the Skyweaver is said to have scattered himself across the heavens, each facet telling a subtly different tale of Cegorach's deeds. Thus did the Skyweaver spread confusion amongst the Laughing God's foes, striking down many with its fiery bite when their backs were turned.
