Strategy

The Eldar version of jump infantry doesn't use jetpacks but personal teleporters instead. Warp Spiders are considered somewhat reckless, as the teleportation process is apparently rather dangerous (the risk doesn't seem to be implemented in Dawn of War, however). They are similar in design to Space Marine Assault Marines or Chaos Raptors except with the Eldar equivalent of Bolters (but with more fire rate and less damage). They are easily countered by their marine counterparts and are not very resistant when it comes to melee damage.
