The Skyweaver differs from a standard [[Eldar Jetbike]] as it has enough room for a secondary rider.{{Fn|2}} Heavily armed and incredibly fast, squads of Skyweavers outmaneuver their foes before cutting them to pieces with concentrated firepower. Their ripping streams of [[shuriken]] fire and crackling bolts of electromagnetic energy from its [[Haywire Cannon]] slaughter foot troops and reduce enemy tanks to sparking wrecks with equal ease. The secondary Skyweaver rider is typically armed with [[Star Bolas]].{{Fn|1}}
In Harlequin myth it is said that to the boon to of the [[Laughing God]], the [[Cosmic Serpent]]s offspring Skyweaver scattered himself across the heavens, each facet telling a subtly different tale of the gods 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.{{Fn|2}} Traditionally, a [[Masque]] incorporates two bands of Skyweavers, their aerobatic prowess serving to add a breathtaking edge of speed and danger to the Harlequins' performances. However some Masques such as the [[Masque of the Soaring Spite]] and [[Masque of the Leering Moon]] prefer to deploy great swarms of Skyweavers out of ritual acknowledgement.{{Fn|3}}
