Absolutely love the spiders! Can't wait for new models as well!

[@devotedtodestruction]

Aeldari codex can’t come any sooner.

[@Gramsci]

Completely agree. For all the initial power it has terrible internal balance

[@Stormeris]

Honestly, Warpspiders are easily the coolest Aspect warriors and it's a damn shame they won't update their models. But sure. Let's release the 10th Primaris Tacticus unit but with a new weapon and the 40th Primaris Lieutenant

[@bobbystroud5204]

At this point, I think GW are going to update all the other old models then redo Warp Spiders last so they can make a big deal out of them being the oldest kit.

[@carlwoodman1251]

Hey we are really old, and still my favourite aspect

[@chrisattwood5930]

Hoping for a warp spider phoenix lord!

[@benbaxter1047]

Maybe the next Codex will have a Phoenix Lord and new sculpts. 😊

[@markdorn8873]

2nd ed. codex holder here. I loved the fluff there, particularly where Warp Spiders were involved. I also loved their unmatched ability to delete low Initiative units, which meant I almost never lost against Orks or Imperial Guard.

[@Azarune]

Thank you for your input for these wonderfully cool models! Best wishes!

[@eldenwarden9673]

Give us the damn pheonix lord already..

[@christiandobson1162]

Just ordered a 2nd unit, haven't played them much this edition, thanks for the tips!

[@DaBlueIghuana]

My favorite aspect warriors, I’m waiting forever for new models

[@kevinwhite8020]

As always - great content, Brent!

[@paulgraddon2655]

Lots of love for warp spiders, but my lead models are older than my children by at least double! And the sculpts are still current. None of this is interesting, but comments for the algorithm gods

[@poetrollem326]

Thanks for the brief! Playing Eldar for the first time in a narrative campaign and am hunting for good units since alot of their strength seems to lie in their named characters...

[@jessepunch8945]

This was helpful. Every time ive ever used them, they die like the next opponents turn to some random charge or something

[@danielpedersensevaride5928]

Great video, thank you Brent. Going to give my WS a whirl this weekend

[@WBConcilio]

@@danielpedersensevaride5928 woot!

[@Grishnag85]

Shadow specters, Swooping Hawks and Warp Spiders might be my favourite aspect warriors. I just fear Shadow Specters aren't going to survive the codex since they are forgeworld units and they seem to be phasing them out

[@WBConcilio]

@@Grishnag85 I have the same fear

[@guillaume8568]

I am not a very experienced player so I might be wrong, but I like the 10 figs squad cause in addition to the things you explain, it is a good defensive unit with 11 D6 + dev wounds + overwatch (and phantasm if possible).

[@WBConcilio]

@@guillaume8568 it's a good tool for sure; it's just that for 250 points you could get something that is better at dev wound target elim

[@chrisgoddard7981]

Always loved the lore and fluff around Warp Spiders. Really hoping they get an awesome re-sculpt in the fabled next wave of Eldar updates……🤞🤘

[@benbaxter1047]

I picked up some 2nd Ed. Spiders back in 3rd Ed. I found this usefull. Hey were old😂. What about using shroud runners to head off the Eldar host while spiders threaten the back field with deepbstrike or 24 inch move?

[@futureaspiringautarch]

I just want to say first of all I made this online profile for you and I am now making my second comment ever (my first was in your skyweaver video, I said hi), I want to say you are amazing and I have learned so much from you about every faction and about the game/tactics in general even tho you just do Eldar videos! Not to mention when I first started listening to you (about 3 months ago) I thought your voice would be a great substitute for Morgan Freeman....now tho I want you to go back and re-voice his movies!!!! Keep it up man and thank you!

[@WBConcilio]

@@futureaspiringautarch Well THIS is the best compliment I have had in a while. 🤣 Thank you!! And I am really glad you are enjoying the channel. If you are into the narrative quality of my voice, you might consider listening to my "Path of the Weaver" video. It's a couple years old at this point

[@christopherrue1773]

Just started playing! Great channel 😎👍! Subbed

[@dannyworsell4160]

Great video, would love to hear your thoughts on how to use striking scorpions effectively in this new pariah nexus. I love the models but feel I misplay them

[@WBConcilio]

@@dannyworsell4160 hey! Thank you! Did you listen to the recent video interview with Boon? There is some great stuff about Scorpions near the end

[@theresawalsh3825]

I have one unit that I painted as ninja turtles, sadly couldn't find a good way to make the exarch master splinter

[@WBConcilio]

@@theresawalsh3825 this is hilarious

[@Gramsci]

Likes for the likes God. Comments for the comments throne.

[@davidfeline5850]

Great unit, 115 points was enough, new models needed.

[@PT84]

You forgot to talk about fire and fade. Your unit you select did not need to shoot. So warp spiders can move 36” and take an action.

[@NerdJake]

Getting behind enemy lines means they're dead the next turn. Is it worth it to throw away 125 points to score these 5 VP? So far I have decided they are not and delayed scoring the secondary. Is that a general misplay I'm making? I just purchased two Vypers, my idea is to use them for the ignore cover ability to help fire prisms more reliably kill their target to quickly take out what really needs to go. I'm looking forward to trying it out but I would be interested in the opinions from other Eldar player on this.

[@davidfeline5850]

I've been running one in Crusade with Shroud Runners and a Farseer Skyrunner. It's been great. If a target simply has to go, ensuring you get maximum AP is a real boon.

[@TheNarwhal85]

Solid one off unit I think the msu 2x/3x units of warp spiders will move down to a one group with the new cost. Still excellent but I think eldar might go for a more aggressive units like the new vypers

[@WBConcilio]

@@TheNarwhal85 I totally agree

[@Sealbag]

🕷️🕸️

[@jessepunch8945]

question: how many secondary points is it worth losing the unit for on turn one assuming they can also push three devastating wounds onto a target like you mentioned

[@WBConcilio]

@@jessepunch8945 think of it this way. You can really only afford to throw away one or two secondaries or delay them if you are going to max out your score. To some degree, the answer to this depends on the match up and the other units in your list, but I will always do it for 4 points

[@AlamoMelt]

Biggest obstacle to use - model unchanged since 1994.

[@BalliSTIc-db6sc]

Nowt wrong with 1994! lol

[@WBConcilio]

@@AlamoMelt rim shot!

[@ericlegrue6775]

Hey we are old
