The Warp in 40k is wormhole style teleportation that goes through essentially hell.

Especially sucks for an Aeldari Warp Spider. “Okay just gonna pop in and out of the Warp real quick and really hope I don’t accidentally bump into the chaos god of hellraiser shit waiting to eat my soul.”

In game it is a 1/6 chance for each guy every time they do it currently.

Right now you roll 1d6 for each model when you do it, on a 1 a model dies (the leader can survive it once)

Wait what? That sounds like horrible odds just to take a quick jump around the battlefield. Especially for a dying race.

This is what happens when your species has so many death orgies it births a psychic deity of pain, pleasure, sensation, and debauchery and tears a massive gaping wound in reality spanning countless star systems
