Night Spinner

The Night Spinner is an Eldar vehicle. It is based on the Falcon chassis and is designed to provide indirect mobile fire support to fast moving Eldar attacks.1

It is armed with twin-linked Doomweavers, deadly weapons that launch a large web of deadly wire high into the air. The web is made up of thousands of miles of incredibly strong, monofilament thread that can shear through any substance, including steel or tank armour. Once launched the web floats ghostly downwards, shredding any victims caught beneath it. Upon hitting the ground the web forms a barrier that may dissect anyone crossing through it, but will eventually settle into a solid blanket that can be moved over safely. The Eldar refer to the threads as the Chain of Vaul, after the unbreakable bonds in Eldar legend.2

The Night Spinner is also armed with a Shuriken Catapults or a Shuriken Cannon, and may also take Vectored Engines, Star Engines, Holo-fields and Spirit Stones.
