Gloomspite Gitz – Arachnarok Spider with Spiderfang Warparty
10" 16 4+ 10 The gargantuan terrors known as Arachnarok Spiders prowl underground labyrinths and the darkest recesses of forests, establishing web strewn lairs amidst ancient ruins or gnarled and crooked trees. Their chitinous limbs can punch through the hull of a Steam Tank, their fangs drip with potent venom, and their webbing is so strong that even an ogor would struggle to tear free of it. What makes the Arachnaroks truly unsettling, however, is the malign intellect within their eight eyes.
Though they once fed indiscriminately upon the Spiderfang grots, and will still do so should the fancy strike them, most Arachnaroks are amused enough by the greenskins’ worship and satiated by their offered sacrifices to serve as war-mounts. The youngest and most aggressive mega-spiders lead the charge, carrying howdahs filled with shrieking grot warriors. Arachnaroks care little for the sneaky plans and kunnin’ tricks of Spiderfang warleaders, instead prioritising their own desires. Given that to question these would be to go against the will of their gods, the grots must simply adapt on the fly. Usually, this involves raining hell down on the enemy wherever they may end up going with crude spears and envenomed arrows. | ||

Companion
Unless otherwise specified, this weapon is not affected by friendly abilities that affect weapon characteristics or the attack sequence, except for those that apply negative modifiers to it (e.g. ‘Covering Fire’).7.0 Combat Range
Each model has a combat range that extends 3" horizontally from its base and any distance vertically from that circle to form a cylinder. The combat range of a unit extends 3" horizontally and any distance vertically from every model in that unit. Units from opposing armies that are within each other’s combat range and that are visible to each other are in combat with each other. When a unit that is not in combat enters the combat range of a visible enemy unit, it moves into combat.

Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Hit characteristic, the attack scores a successful hit: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail. If an unmodified hit roll for an attack made with a weapon is a 6, that attack is a critical hit.| Critical hits have no effect on their own but often trigger additional effects (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities). | ||
Crit (Mortal)
If an attack made with this weapon scores a critical hit, that attack inflicts mortal damage on the target unit equal to the Damage characteristic of that weapon and the attack sequence ends.The DESTRUCTION keyword is used in the following Gloomspite Gitz warscrolls:
