As the thread title intends, what does the Webway look like exactly. I've had the Eldar codex before and looked through it, but I cannot put into words what a description of the Webway looks like.

The only thing close I can find in other lore is the Wheel of Time's Ways which look like this:

Well heres it's entrance. Then the custodians are fighting in a webway. It basically looks like a big tunnel. with lots of glowing lights.

Not only is that an eldar waygate, but it is mislabeled as them sending off an avatar, and indeed shows nothing of what the webway looks like.

The webway connected to the golden throne is a vast glowy/golden tunnel with lines inscribed around on it.

The whole webway background was extended by the Dark Eldar Codex as Commoragh and almost the whole DE realm is part of the webway. Too complicated to reproduce all of it here.

The Webway looks exactly like this:

Which explains why the Eldar spend so much time there.

Bear in mind that I'm a very casual player, and any advice I give will reflect that tendency.

I wanna go back to New Jersey

I always think the webway looks more like this

But instead of holes in two different plains, there would be a motley of different sized tunnels (holes) randomly placed facing different directions on different points of perspective.
