===Equipment===
[[fileFile:2ndcodpg57.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Warp Spider charging their [[Death Spinner]]{{Fn|1c}}]]
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]]. For combat, the Warp Spider's most commonly make use of their ritual weapon, the [[Death Spinner]], a [[Monofilament Weapon]] which easily slices through flesh and bone.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|2b}}{{Fn|3a}}
The Exarchs of the Warp Spider Shrines have honed their skills as ambushers to a fine detail and passed on this knowledge to their squad. They are not only experts at surprise assaults, teleporting onto the battlefield in a storm of crackling lightning, but also know the best times to withdraw from combat and set up to perform further hit-and-run attacks.{{Fn|3a}} Instead of a Death Spinner, some Exarchs will go into battle with a pair of [[Powerblade]]s and two [[Death Weaver]]s, wielding them in mounts upon their waists. These waist mounts can also be replaced by an additional pair of Powerblades, giving them a total of four melee weapons to slash their foes with. Other Exarchs may instead opt for longer-ranged firepower with a [[Spinneret Rifle]].{{Fn|9}}
On the bizzare bizarre isolated [[Craftworld]] of [[Kaelor]] , where only one Warp Spider [[Exarch]] is allowed to exist an , the additional rank, of '''''Arachnir''''', has emerged , which serves below the Exarch but acts senior to the other Warp Spiders and [[Aspect Warrior]]s.{{Fn|12a}}
