	Wasps are now almost identical to the standard ground-bound War Walkers. They don't come with the {{WH40kKeyword\|Anhrathe}}, or {{WH40kKeyword\|<Coterie>}} keywords, they're just part of the Craftworld Warhost like their brothers. They also come with exactly the same weapon options, statline, and abilities as the War Walker. They have four differences, three of them unequivocal advantages, distinguishing them:		Forgeworld no longer makes the wasp models, and the rules have been relegated to legacy, thus no more use tournaments.

	In 8th Edition, Wasp Assault Walkers are marginally more useful due to being among the few vehicles that don't suffer from the damage tables that many larger like transports and tanks deal with. One useful niche they fill is that they can act as relatively cheap heavy weapon platforms that can have up to three models in a single Fast Attack slot, freeing up your Heavy Support slots for Dark Reapers, Wraithlords, or more goddamn chicken walkers if you can't get enough of the derpy things. A plus that the wasps have over their cheaper ground-bound walker kin is that they can deep-strike anywhere on the field (with all the usual caveats of course) and since they can fly, can ignore terrain and enemy units and get out of dodge extra fast. Comes in handy when the opponent tries to tie up your Wasps in melee; simply fly away and fire a few shots into their squad as you bounce off to safer horizons.

	Wasps are kind of a situational unit to be honest.

They along with the War Walker are considered as "meh" and are often replaced with more effective walkers.
