What do you think about the Epic 40K Wave Serpent? I think the attack as disrupt was brilliant.

But I wonder if, instead of 6+ armor, it should have had 5+ and a save. It is pretty vulnerable to AT weapons, as well as the 6s in a handful of FP dice.

How much more should it cost if so?

I agree the way the Wave Serpent was presented in the original rules that it could be nigh invulnerable from the front so maybe put some balance in by giving it a save to shots from the front arc and an additional 10-15 points? How much extra points are Terminators over Space Marines? You could also say it's a field generator upgrade or a Craftworld variant if you wanted to introduce some variety to the list.

I think the key thing about Eldar vehicles in general is remember that shooting at them is like shooting a musket at a mosquito. That one time you manage to get a few sixes on them should feel like a real accomplishment. I don't think you want to make them too hardy.

Terminators add a Save to Marines, but don't reduce armor.

The Wave Serpent is current armor 6+, no save. I'm suggesting 5+ and save. That will be equivalent in some cases, but better in others, so should be a little bit more, but not too much.

I'd prefer the simpler save to rules about direction. As a matter of fact, when I got to thinking about it, I was surprised they didn't do it that way the first time. Seems like it would make sense.

I've read the OP's comment about the Wave Serpent, and took some time to think about it. However I agree with KevinW to leave it as is. Armour 6+ for a vehicle is good enough.
