The '''Warp Spiders''' are one of the types of [[Aspect Warrior]]s, [[Eldar]] who represent a facet of their war god [[Kaela Mensha Khaine]]. Taking their name from the [[Warp Spider (creature)|same creatures]] who protect the [[Infinity Circuit]]s of their [[Craftworld]]s, Warp Spiders epitomise aggressive defense and make use of their teleportation devices to attack the enemy suddenly and disappear before they can retaliate.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}
==Overview==
[[image:WarpSpiderGW.jpg|right|thumb|Warp Spider]]
As is true with certain other Aspects there is no known founder, or [[Phoenix Lord]], of the Warp Spider Shrines, although [[Kaelor]]ian lore speaks of the [[Lhykosidae]], the Wraith Spider, who might be one.{{Fn|4}} Fighting in squads of five to ten members, which sometimes includes an [[Exarch]] to lead them{{Fn|3b}}, Warp Spiders are deadly warriors who model their weaponry and armour on those of the warp spiders, which swarm and destroy any intruding psychic presence within the [[Wraithbone]] skeleton of their Craftworld. The signature piece of equipment used by Warp Spiders is the [[Warp Spider Jump Generator]], a compact device housed within the armoured backpack of their [[Aspect Armour]] which allows for short journeys through the [[Warp]]. Using this warp-generator Warp Spiders can unexpectedly materialize right next to their foes and fire their ritual weapon, the [[Death Spinner]], which easily slices through flesh and bone.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|2a}}{{Fn|3a}}
