Excited about getting a Phoenix Lord soon!
Fund Raiser - Helping a friend with funding for a Wedding!
This post is part of the current Fund Raiser where a friend has given me an offer to buy a collection of Warhammer models, the money will go to putting down deposits for his wedding arrangements.
After that I have two other hobby debts to sort out.
I am collecting funds in the following ways:
- Blogging about Warhammer to earn HBD
- Accepting donations - Can be sent directly to @zakl.hobbyfund in HBD
- Selling some of the collection to friends.
The total remaining is $481.5!
Every bit counts!
Back to the review.
Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - The Great Unit Review Wheel! post!
Now known as the Unit Review Library!
What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit!
Also this has become quite the Challenge! With so many units to review in the game the consensus in the hobby community is that I will not have enough time to review all of the Datasheets before the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 came out.
I should have started when 10th edition launched!
611 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #239, I am 372 reviews behind! (Lowest I have been is 314 behind)
January 2025 we are expecting Astra Militarum and Aeldari codexes as explained Here, so time to focus on THOSE Datasheets!
Aeldari, Warp Spiders
10th Edition Index
Warp Spiders are an Aspect Temple of Aeldari capable of teleporting short distances. They then shoot at you with anti-infantry weapons which alsonhave a slight chance at damaging a vehicle.
In close combat they aren't much though the Excharch has power weapons.
This Aspect Temple has been missing a Phoenix Lord who went missing after teleporting too far... she is now returning in the new 10th Edition Aeldari Codex!
Warp Spiders are fairly expensive at 125pts for 5 and 250pts for a unit of 10.
Let's check their stats.
Stats
Movement 12"
Toughness 3
Save 3+/5++ (armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 1 (2 Wounds on the Exarch)
Ld 6+
OC 1
Weapons
Standard armament includes Deathspinners and close Combat weapons.
The Exarch is then armed with an addition Deathspinner (So they have 2, and powerblades)
Ranged Weapons
Deathspinners
12" Range, D6 Shots, Hitting on Auto, S4, AP0 and 1 Damage each.
Torrent (This weapon automatically hits targets, just roll for the number of shots per gun)
Devastating Wounds (Rolls of 6, To Wound cause Mortal Wounds)
Melee Weapons
Close Combat Weapon
2 Attacks, Hitting on 3+, S3, AP0 and 1 Damage each.
Powerblades
3 Attacks, Hitting on 3+, S4, AP-2 and 1 Damage each.
Abilities
Deepstrike (Can be deployed anywhere on the battlefield outside 9" of an enemy if they are kept in reserve)
Flickerjump
Instead of making a normal move, this unit can make a Flickerjump. If they do, they get Movement 24" (Double) but they cannot charge into combat after that. Also, when they Flickerjump, they roll 1x D6 and if it lands on a 1, they suffer 1 Mortal Wound.
Thoughts
12" to 24" move with a 12" range gun. This gun being a flamer that causes Devastating Wounds. There comes that potential to hurt anything as Mortals cut through Toughness, Saves and Invul saves as long as you roll 6's to wound.
A unit of 5 on average should land around 21 auto hits. This equates to around 3-4 Devastating Wounds. You can look at 2-5 Devastating Wound generally against big tanks and monsters. So you MIGHT do plenty and you might flop.
Against T3 and T4 infantry they would do better but high armor would stop plenty damage.
Terminators won's like being shot at buy them but Orks and Votann would not really care much.
In the Codex there seems to be a close combat option for the unit and other gun options.
That makes 52 Aeldari Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 86.66% Completed. The total Completed is 26.09% Complete! Can I review them all?!
Thank you for reading!
