Once the psyker powers have been used, I would be shooting with the harlies to try and score instant deaths with the fusion pistols, and follow up by firing with the spiders. The number of shots at S6 should cause decent wear and tear, and then the harlies assault. The spiders can get in on the assault too, given the powerblades and assuming there's an opening.

I realize it's a fair number of points to sink, but has anyone tried anything similar? Anyone else just have some thoughts on this as it is? And lastly, is it worth it to switch up to the rifle rather than the extra deathspinner?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4582060.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4582060.page GMT What's the consensus on Warp Spiders? AP - weapons, warp spiders are amazing at killing tanks. Drop em in behind rear armor 10 or 11, and you are almost certain you will wreck the thing.

If they don't have any tanks, a bunch of S6 dakka is never wasted.

I usually run them in a minimum squad of 5 with an exarch rocking dual spinners, adding powerblades if I need to kill 10 points. Comes in at 127-137 points and can very easily make their points back.

Best fast attack option in the codex IMO]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4584302.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4584302.page GMT What's the consensus on Warp Spiders?

Agreed, but I find the 12" range on their guns a bit depressing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4584724.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4584724.page GMT Re:What's the consensus on Warp Spiders?
That being said, I've taken to escorting them with a Bikeseer. He's the same speed and can provide fantasti-awesome upgrades in just Prescience and Shriek. Shriek really helps deal with things Warp Spiders have issues with (really hard to kill things).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4585526.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4585526.page GMT What's the consensus on Warp Spiders? 2d6 inside a ruin behind the Nids.

To be honest, I've never made a serious attempt to use them or seen them used. I've also never made use of a deepstriking unit before, so implementing something like this is new territory to me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4585862.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4585862.page GMT What's the consensus on Warp Spiders? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4586111.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4586111.page GMT Re:What's the consensus on Warp Spiders? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4586148.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4586148.page GMT Re:What's the consensus on Warp Spiders? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4586261.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4586261.page GMT What's the consensus on Warp Spiders? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4586473.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4586473.page GMT Re:What's the consensus on Warp Spiders? devs/longfangs/havocs in their back field in cover. Warp Spiders let you get back there, drop the hurt S6 hurt, then tie them up in their shooting phase. With the new wound allocation this seems like an even better strat, as you can position to force all of your saves on the inevitably hidden PF and decrease the risk to your spiders. Eventually they'll die, but you're tying up a lot of firepower in the mean time.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4586734.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4586734.page GMT Re:What's the consensus on Warp Spiders?

I have the opposite experience to be honest.. With premeasure you know all squad will be in range and will be full 12" away for relative safe distance after jump.. In previous edition you were either out of range or too close or had god level of range eyeballing.. It's easier to use them and 3+ is better than other aspects 4+. Scoring once in a while is nice surprise bonus..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4586928.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4586928.page GMT What's the consensus on Warp Spiders? cc quickly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4587328.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4587328.page GMT What's the consensus on Warp Spiders?
They're so fast you can start them on the board and be in range turn two. If you play them patiently, a 10man squad with all the upgrades will slowly pick away at your opponent and will certainly kill more than a single tank before getting killed. I do DS mine sometimes, but I only do so in places where I can support them. They work wonders if you don't let them get isolated and focused on.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4588054.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/465667/4588054.page GMT
