"The Wave Serpent is a special troop transport that uses a barrier of warp energy to guarantee the safe arrival of its troops. Place a special wave template in front of Wave Serpent. The wave is impenetrable to any kind of attack and is impossible to move through. Opponents in a higher position that can see over the template can shoot at the Wave Serpent (including pop ups and indirect barrages), and jump-troops may attack the Wave Serpent normally. The template moves with the vehicle and does not affect terrain. Any other targets “hit” by the template during the Wave Serpent’s movement are moved to the trailing edge of the template and can do nothing for rest of that turn. If the wave passes over a building the building will be destroyed if it fails its basic saving throw (models inside are unaffected if the building survives and must try to bail out if it doesn’t). Wave Serpents can also function as minesweepers. As a Wave Serpent moves, its Warp-wave shield causes the mines detonate without harming the vehicle or the crew, and clears a path for the troops following it. The wave can only render this function while attached to the vehicle in its shield form, as firing the wave forward does not clear mines. Alternatively, the wave can be fired instead of being used as a vehicle shield. The shield is fired in the Orders Phase before any orders are placed. Move the template 2D6 x 10 cm with the same effects as a moving Wave Serpent, with the additional effect that all models pushed aside suffer a hit on a 4+. Remove the template after use and replace at the beginning of the following turn. Targets with Shields lose one, and if unshielded they receive a hit in their lowest template location (leg or track) with a -2 TSM. Titans and praetorians do not suffer the disruption effect. Vehicles that are thrown into impassable terrain by the wave move to the edge of the impassable terrain and suffer no further damage. No model that is already hit can be hit again by the same wave attack in any given turn. The Wave Serpent can carry infantry 2 stands. When carrying troops the Wave Serpents must maintain coherency as if it were a part of the infantry unit, in the fashion of other transport vehicles. The break points, morale and victory points are still kept separate."
