A Storm Serpent is a super heavy grav tank of the Craftworld Eldar and is recognised as one of the Engines of Vaul. It is one of the largest vehicles in active service for the Eldar.1
Overview
The Storm Serpent was first reported as a gunship in the Crucien War in M36 and many tacticians were befuddled when large numbers of Eldar troops came out from the sleekly designed craft. An Imperial Guard position was overrun at Merloc's Point when three disgorged dozens of aspect warriors. When they were designated as primary targets, it was assumed that the passengers would be killed when the vehicle was destroyed, but this was proved false when a single wreckage was found with barely a dozen bodies within.1
What the Imperium have yet to grasp is that within the Storm Serpent is a Webway Portal which allows troops to move endlessly from the vehicle. They can be accessed from anywhere in the webway, but most often they are used to quickly deploy armies from orbit. It's size limits that maximum physical size for deployment to about the size of a Vyper.1
