(Courtesy of IMDB)Captain Zapp Brannigan: If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.
[Kif groans]
Captain Zapp Brannigan: Now, like all great plans, my strategy is so simple an idiot could have devised it. On my command all ships will line up and file directly into the alien death cannons, clogging them with wreckage.
[Fry raises his hand]
Fry: W-Wouldn't it make more sense to send the robots in first a - ?
[Bender starts to choke him à la Homer Simpson to Bart in "The Simpsons". His antenna flashes again and he stops choking Fry and salutes]
Bender: Sir, I volunteer for a suicide mission.
[Bender's antenna stops flashing and he bangs his head with his knuckles]
Bender: Cut it out!
Captain Zapp Brannigan: You're a brave robot, son. But when I'm in command every mission's a suicide mission.

Shadow weavers are a form of eldar artillery, found in the tabletop in support weapon batteries (which might be why you've never heard of them, as support weapon batteries are rarely employed, and in Apocalypse there are larger versions mounted on Falcon chassis). It's a form of the same monofilament technology behind death spinners, except instead of waving around a stream of monofilaments like a death spinner, the shadow weaver weaves a net of monofilaments and fires it in an arc like a mortar. The monofilament then drifts down onto the battlefield, slicing up the enemy's unprotected squishy bits, as if somebody had dropped a giant spider web made of razors.
