Warp Spider Jump Generator

Warp Jump Generator^[6]

A Warp Spider Jump Generator is an Eldar warp generator used by Warp Spider Aspect Warriors housed within the armoured backpack of their Aspect Armour. This compact and complex device allows for instantaneous travel through the Warp, giving their prey no warning as they appear right beside them.^[1]

The distances which can be travelled in this manner are relatively short, up to a hundred yards, but is an unpleasant experience for the wearer as visions of the Warp sweep across their vision and a great hungering maw tugs at their spirit.^[2] For the Eldar to spend even a short amount of time within the Warp is not only a danger to their body but their very soul, and the possibility of a fate worst than death means the Warp Spiders are counted among the bravest of all Aspect Warriors.^[3]

The Shade Runners amongst the various Aeldari Corsairs use similar technology, being the Blink Packs that they wear.^[9] These blink packs allow the wearer to make tiny warp jumps a few paces away.^[8a]

If a Warp Jump Generator malfunctions it will likely spell doom for the wearer, activation resulting in clawing hands caressing them for less than a moment before they disappear from existence, likely to never reappear. Despite the seemingly certain doom, some may yet return to realspace if their Warp Jump Generator regains function, and if they can survive the unknowable horrors of the Warp for long enough to do so.^[8b]
