The armies of the Aeldari are small and their warriors irreplaceable, and so mobility and protection are prized above almost all else. The Wave Serpent answers both needs at once. A graceful grav-tank that skims above the battlefield on anti-gravity engines, it serves as the principal battle transport of the craftworlds, carrying squads of Aspect Warriors or Guardians across the field with a speed and smoothness no ground-bound vehicle could match.
What distinguishes the Wave Serpent from other transports is the shimmering energy field projected before its prow, a defensive barrier that slows and deflects incoming projectiles and shields the vulnerable passengers within from harm. This field can also be discharged forward as a concussive wave to batter enemies aside. Armed with a choice of turret-mounted weapons to suit any threat, the Wave Serpent is far more than a mere carriage; it is a fast-moving fire-support platform in its own right. In the hands of Aeldari commanders who value every single life under their command, it is an indispensable tool of the surgical, hit-and-fade warfare at which their people so excel.
