Wave Serpent

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.
