Eldar Portal

An Ulthwe Wave Serpent armed with twin Missile Launchers.

A Wave Serpent is the Eldar's main troop transport. It uses their advanced anti-grav technology to fly swiftly across the battlefield, and is protected by powerful energy shields. Its energy shields, generated in wing mounts, can combine together with other Wave Serpents so that a formation of vehicles flying in tight formation can resist all but the most powerful attacks. Wave Serpents represent the core of the archetypal Eldar assault force - airborne Aspect Warriors disembarking from their fast transports and striking with precision at the flanks of the enemy.³

It is armed with twin-linked Shuriken cannons and Shuriken catapults. Some Wave Serpents have been upgraded with additional armaments such as missile launchers, Bright Lances, and Starcannons. Wave Serpents can carry up to 12 Aspect Warriors or Guardians at a time, or five Wraithguards as an alternative. It is piloted by a single crewman who pilots the vehicle and controls its remote weapons systems.³
