===Dedicated Transports===
:;Wave Serpent
::The Wave Serpent is yet another Falcon chassis tank but featuring a large carrying capacity for the various infantry and a real threat in terms of a battlefield vehicle. The Wave Serpent comes stock with the standard AV12 and ability to grab vehicle upgrades such as holofields and star engines. It comes with a twin-linked catapult and shuriken cannon, the cannon being tradeable for a twin-linked starcannon, brightlance or scatter laser. It can also trade for an EML (with flakk) for a heavy price as well as switch out that little catapult for a cannon (because who wants a tank with 12” range?) for a little bit more. Unlike other races the Wave Serpent is a costly machine, clocking at 110 points base and with lots of reason to spend more. You cannot just throw this transport away and it also features no fire points as well as not being an assault transport. Our dedicated transport kicks the daddy bags of other such transports of the other races and in large point games you can afford to get a whole lot more armour onto the field. The Wave Serpent has various uses and strategy we’re all used to by this point in addition to its useful medium range anti-cover attack. Move it carefully and let it bring your units to where they can do their job best. It got 5 points cheaper in the new codex, but now is balanced by the nerf to the Serpent Shield (see below) and the loss of Laser Lock on the Scatter Laser. Given the loss of Laser Lock, consider starcannons or brightlances to deal with armor or TEQs, or el-cheapo shuriken cannons to slice up infantry and transports.
::;Serpent Shield
:::Once responsible for untold amounts of bitching from the 6th Edition Codex, the Wave Serpent comes with a barrier that causes all of its front and side based penetrating hits to magically transform into a mere glance on a 2+. Then, once per game you can unleash an S6 2D6 cover-ignoring shitstorm at 24" range. However, if you dissipate the Serpent Shield to shoot it, you lose the infamous "switch pen to glance on 2+" for the rest of the game.
