Bikes and pods.

These are more necessary against the inevitable jetbikes that will be hanging around the edges of the board and/or behind cover, but should still get the job done vs warpspiders too.

Bikes would be better. as they can chase Warp Spiders down and charge them. Pods are a bad idea, as you can't charge out of them and the Warp Spiders will just jump away from the shooting, and thanks to Battle Focus they will quickly run back and close to shooting range on the podded units.

Let them jump away, with the pods you will be close enough to be in rapid fire range even after they jump away.

There's pros and cons to both, like pods being able to be purchased for free in that formation.

Better yet, let them jump away-you dropped BEHIND them, if they jump away they go into the jaws of someone else waiting for them.


The best answer to the flicker, is making sure there is nowhere to go. trap them between units. table edges can make more solid blocks on one side.
