Basic tactic is for the 2 Wraith cannon WKs, the 6 Scatterbike units with both Farseers to deploy on the SLP
The rest of the Bikes deploy behind the Barricades. Glaive/Shield WK goes deathstar hunting.
No need to Jink, all WKs have Invuls against shooting.

Each Farseer will attempt to 1 roll on Telepathy for Invis, but swap for Shriek if not. Then they each take Prescience & Guide
Warlock and Vyper will be in reserves unless I can hide them Turn 1

If I can ever get ahold of the Mymera book, I'll trade the Wraithcannon WKs for the Fusion Lance variants

What restrictions are you working on? Because if you don't have any, take a look at the pale courts battlehost

Well the main restrictions I work with are A) Batle forged only and B) I don't use models/detachments or rules I cannot produce. I don't have the Mymera book, so the Pale Court Battlehost does not exist for me.

I also only own 3 WKs and never plan to get any more. Nor do I care for Warp Spiders. The LoS blocking terrain in my area is drastically inconsistent. I could play on a table where Flickerjump makes me untouchable, or I could loose every since Spider to half a round of enemy shooting.
There are also plenty of players in my area that use Barrage or weapons that need no LoS, or they have Kngihts, or loads of CC. None of these make Spiders very competitive in my Meta.

Well that list certainly looks nasty.

Honest question: How do you feel you would do vs. a full company gladius spam? You don’t seem to have a lot of units, so could you kill enough MSU before the game ends?

That's a tricky one. I'd basically have to use the WKs to pop Transports and the Scatterbikes to take out the Marines inside. If I get first turn, I don't think it would be too difficult.
Once enough Grav-Cannons have been destroyed, the shooty WKs can comfortably leave the Landing Platform and start assaulting close units. Then I can use Stomps to hit units out of CC to maximize damage.

An alternate list I can bring may help with MSU Gladius, as well as give some defense against Flyers:

Not so sure about the double Forts, but it would definitely help against an Alpha strike. The Hornets would provide more shots that can help clear Transports or small Marine units. The Hornets & Crimson Hunter would provide decent anti-Flyer support.
