Surely they must have eaten trillions of spiders by now, you'd think at least one norn queen would take note and use the design, tactics and abilities that these creatures confer. And we have hard proof that they exist in 40k, so it's not like they just aren't eating them.
I assume an 8 legged creature would be inefficient in a chaotic battlefield. Just more limbs to be injured.
If Arachnophobia is the most common phobia today imagine how pronounced it is in the 42nd Millennium.
