The Excharch comes with this rule

"If this unit was set up preparing a sudden assault and contains a Warp Spider Exarch model, when this unit is set up on the battlefield for the first time, until the end of the turn, each time a model in this unit is selected to shoot, it makes 1 additional attack with each death spinner it is equippep."

What does that mean? The web spinner is 1d6. Is this 1d6+1. Or 1d6+1d6?

One extra shot per spinner. D6+1 as you write it.

Note that this means each Warp Spider makes d6+1 attacks with their Death Spinner and an Exarch armed with 2 Death Spinner (because why wouldn't you buy the upgrade) makes 2d6+2 attacks.

When it says "each time a model in this unit is selected to shoot, it makes 1 additional attack..." it means just what it says, 1 additional attack. On a weapon that makes 1 attack it would mean 2 (1+1=2). On a weapon with 6 attacks it is 7 (6+1=7)

On a weapon that does D6 or 2D6 or 100D6 it means add one attack to whatever you roll, as attacks are not per model when shooting, they are per the number of attacks in the weapons profile.

If you have a weapon that says it is 1D6 attacks, you roll and get a number, then make 1 additional attack.

I am running through so many different boardgame it tends to drift a bit with the syntax of 40k. I remember the 8th edition GSC power let's me make one attack with a weapon the opponent had and then you could shoot. It became unclear for me it this Excharch power refered to shooting on weapon or not.

Shoot again would mean “all the weapons shots again”.
Extra attack means one extra roll, not the full complement.

This.

In 40K each attack is a separate thing. Have D6 attacks and roll a 4, you get 4 attack rolls. Each attack sequence needs to be resolved before you move on to the next.
