Each model in a Tarantulos Brood unit is armed with Brood Weapons and Envenomed Projectiles.
BROODMASTER: 1 in every 13 models in this unit must be a Broodmaster. Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of that model’s melee weapons. In addition, Broodmasters can issue commands to their own unit.
SPIDER SWARMS: 3 in every 13 models in this unit must be Spider Swarms. Spider Swarms are armed with Venomous Bites instead of Brood Weapons and Envenomed Projectiles.
Skittering Ascent: Through profane and flesh-altering rituals the warriors of the Tarantulos Brood can scuttle across terrain with the speed and skill of a true arachnid.
When this unit makes a move, it can pass across terrain features in the same manner as a model that can fly.

Creeping Summons: The Broodmasters of the Eightfold Watcher have a strange and dark symbiosis with the swarms of venomous spiders that accompany them, calling forth an ever-growing horde that can overwhelm the enemy.
At the start of your hero phase, you can return D3 slain Spider Swarms to this unit for each Broodmaster in this unit.

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.
