probably because serpent is a transport while wyper and walker are weapon platform.

Why would vypers and warwalkers get it but not wave serpents? They're all guardian pilots. The wave serpents getting the aspect warrior buff in the aspect warrior formation doesn't have nearly as much merit.

I wouldn't be surprised if that gets FAQ'd, such that it doesn't affect any attached Wave Serpents, as the special rules are obviously targeted at the Infantry units themselves in those Formations.

Well it won't get faq'd since it is obvious that it doesn't affect wave serpents. I also don't think the rules are targetted at the infantry units specifically since the vyper get the PE rule. I don't think that giving PE to the wave serpents would be overpowered either since they do not get it all the time.

You can't do that be ause the wave serpent would get prefered enemy if he disembark a guardian squad within firing range, that would be too strong, desactivate the shield fire everything and there is nothing left of the nearby unit. I think it's too strong. Btw do you think if a wave serpent have a guardian unit inside within 12 of an enemy unit, does the other guy get the prefer enemy? I don't think so but what do you guy's think.

I really don't think it is that strong. The whole points of this formation is that anything within 12" of a guardian dies a painful and horrible death. And it looks like bs5 waveserpents in the aspect host might be a thing and it definitely isn't stronger than that.

I dunno man, I didn't want to believe it either but if you look at the rules for that one it is how it is written. You can't hide from the truth grizz

... damn it i guess i'm gonna wait and see what are tournaments doing for this.

And if you increas  the ws in the bonus does the tank count as having ws 2 when assaulted or does it not count at all.

probably gets lost because I don't think it ever really has a weapon skill, just counts as having ws1 for the purposes of hitting it
