The '''Warp Spiders''' are one of the types of [[Eldar]] [[Aspect Warrior]]s, specializing in the use of a teleport device to appear suddenly to strike and teleport away before the enemy can retaliate.
==Warp Spider Aspect==
The Warp Spider Aspect epitomize "aggressive defence" and the unexpected attack. Their warp-packs allow them to make short range jumps through the warp, appearing amid the enemy, cutting them down, before jumping back to their original position.
This Aspect is viewed as untrustworthy and suspicious by some Eldar.<sup>4</sup> They are nevertheless regarded as the bravest aspect warriors as their tactics require them to spend a short amount of time in the warp. The warp is particularly hostile to Eldar, and even the short moment Warp Spiders must spent within it puts not only their lives but their souls at risk.
Warp Spiders are equipped with the following:
* [[Death Spinner]].<sup>1,3</sup>
* [[Exarch Armor]].<sup>1,3</sup>
==Exarch==
Exarch Powers:
* '''Surprise Assault'''.<sup>1,3</sup> The Exarch can lead his squad through the warp and suddenly reappear to shoot the enemy.
* '''Withdraw'''.<sup>3</sup> Under the guidance of the Exarch the Warp Spiders know the best moment to safely withdraw from close combat without risk.
==Phoenix Lord==
The Warp Spiders have no known [[Phoenix Lord]]. However, some claim that the Wraith Spider (Lhykosidae), a similar position on the [[Kaelor]] Craftworld is the Phoenix Lord of the Warp Spiders. Others disagree due to the tendancy of Phoenix Lords to have appeared far earlier in history and help found their aspect.<sup>4</sup>
