Some Arachnarok Spiders bear howdahs upon their backs that have flinger catapults built into them. Operated by a cackling grot crew, these weapons lob tumbling masses of envenomed webbing that slam down to entangle and poison the enemy.

An Arachnarok Spider with Flinger is armed with a Flinger, Chitinous Legs and Monstrous Fangs.
BATTALIONS: This warscroll can be used in the following warscroll battalions:
• Arachnarok Spider Cluster
• Arachnarok Spider Cluster
CREW: This unit is accompanied by a Spiderfang grot crew armed with Spider-bows and Crooked Spears.
Flinger: This crude catapult hurls a heavy hall of corded spider-silk at the enemy. Any victims not crushed by the missile when it lands are engulfed by the mass of sticky webbing as it explosively unfurls.
The Attacks characteristic of a Flinger is equal to the number of models in the target unit, to a maximum of 20. In addition, if any attacks made with this unit’s Flinger score a hit, after those attacks have been resolved, roll a dice. On a 2+, the target unit is entangled until the start of your next hero phase. While a unit is entangled, halve its Move characteristic. A unit cannot be entangled more than once at the same time.

Spider Venom: An Arachnarok Spider monstrous fangs glisten with deadly toxic venom.
If the unmodified hit roll for an attack made with this unit’s Monstrous Fangs is 6, that attack causes 3 mortal wounds to the target and the attack sequence ends (do not make a wound roll or save roll).

Wall Crawler: The Spiderfang’s arachnid allies can skitter up and down vertical surfaces as if they were flat ground.
When this unit makes a move, it can pass across terrain features in the same manner as a unit that can fly.

Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or beats the attacking weapon’s To Hit characteristic, the attack scores a hit and you must make a wound roll. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. An unmodified hit roll of 1 always fails and an unmodified hit roll of 6 always hits. A hit roll cannot be modified by more than +1 or -1 (this is an exception to the principle that abilities take precedence over core rules).Sometimes an ability will allow a single hit roll to score two or more hits. If this is the case, make all of the wound and save rolls for those hits at the same time.
14.5 Mortal Wounds
Some attacks, spells and abilities cause mortal wounds. Do not make hit, wound or save rolls for mortal wounds. Instead, the damage inflicted on the target is equal to the number of mortal wounds that were caused.Mortal wounds caused while a unit is attacking are allocated at the same time as wounds caused by the unit’s attacks: after all of the unit’s attacks have been made. Mortal wounds caused at other times are allocated as soon as they are caused. Mortal wounds are allocated in the same way as wounds and are treated in the same manner as wounds for rules purposes.

Save Roll
Your opponent rolls a dice, modifying the roll by the attacking weapon’s Rend characteristic. If the roll equals or beats the target unit’s Save characteristic, the target is saved and the attack sequence ends. If not, the attack is successful and you must determine the damage that is inflicted on the target. An unmodified save roll of 1 always fails. A save roll cannot be modified by more than +1 (this is an exception to the principle that abilities take precedence over core rules).Designer’s Note: Save rolls do not always succeed on an unmodified roll of 6, and they can be modified by more than -1.
9.4 Flying
If the warscroll used by a model says that it can fly, you can ignore other models and terrain features when you trace the path of its move across the battlefield (it flies over them). In addition, when a model that can fly starts or finishes a move on a terrain feature, instead of tracing its move across the battlefield, you can trace it ‘through the air’, as shown in the diagram below.A flying model cannot finish a move on top of another model or finish a normal move, run or retreat within 3" of an enemy unit.
Wound Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or beats the attacking weapon’s To Wound characteristic, the attack wounds the target and your opponent must make a save roll. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. An unmodified wound roll of 1 always fails and an unmodified wound roll of 6 always wounds. A wound roll cannot be modified by more than +1 or -1 (this is an exception to the principle that abilities take precedence over core rules).
