Except that I don't think any of them give the flying ability....

One point: the Webway isn't just something you can hop in & out of.
There are discrete gateways which must be used. While there *are* a
good number of gateways, I really doubt there would be any more than one
on a given battlefield... in fact, having more than one on a given
planet would be an extremely rare case.

This is why what the Warp Spiders do is so dangerous: they aren't using
the Webway, they're actually making use of the Warp... which likes
Eldar, as their souls are crunchy and taste *very* good to Slaanesh.
