I want to input them in my list! I like the insane mobility and wounding through initiative, but how many of these guys would be too much considering the plethora of S6 already in Eldar armies? Am considering anywhere from 12-24 (maybe 6)

Well, considering the winner of the Las Vegas Open had 45 Warp Spiders in his list, I'd say you have plenty of room to spam them!

9 groups of 5. *thumbs up*

Ahh you Americans, always one step behind. Av13 is still a thing, so is warp speed and int. 10.

Warp spiders cant do everything, so dont take more than 30 (5*6). If you actually watched the live stream, you'd see Pajama Pants got very unlucky on his first turn. Had the screamer star not been wiped it would have been a different story.

Having faced 45 spiders last tournament I attended, I can attest how ragequit-inducing they can be.

AMERICA!!!! Shenanigans - aside I played against 15 of them at a local tourney and I wanted to cry. Granted my list didn't have any fast assault units in it. Needless to say, I will be more prepared for the next one!

I use either 20 or 21 in my lists. I might go up to 30, but I like to have some hawks in the list, as they can deal with threats the warp spiders cannot.

I also like to field avengers, but that's because I have 30 of them painted up nicely

I got 15 for now! Any tips on how to best use them?

* End their turn by LoS blocking terrain, like a ruins wall. That way you can flikerjump out of LoS

* Go after tough targets that the rest of your army will have a hard time with. Wraithknights, Stormsurges, etc. Don't use them on soft targets like IG -- which are much more vulnerable to hawks.

* Don't be afraid to deep strike them to ensure they get to where they need to be.
