In the new Eldar Codex, Heavy Weapon Platforms are mandatory/organic to Guardian units and can be transported in Wave Serpents if so desired. Should this be added to the transport options of Wave Serpents when the Eldar are updated? |

I was wondering when this was going to be brought up. I'd say yes, although there will need to be some rewording in the Guardian Host notes section to avoid confusion between the other upgrades and transport options. |

Yes, Heavy Weapon Platforms should be able to be transported in wave serpents. |

They should be mandatory in Epic too. |

I vote yes, they should be transportable. |

I like them being transportable, although Hena is right that there should be a cost associated with it. That decision to bring a heavy weapon platform without transport or leave it when I have Wave Serpents is a tough choice and it should remain a tough choice (even if the choice is to spend more points). |

So would be +50pts for the 3 platforms enough or 75pts? |

To my mind the main reason to transport your guardians is to get the 4+ FF to where you want it quickly. If you want to loose 3 of them for 5+ FF I'd not be bothered. The waves serpents shoot better anyway. I wouldn't pay for them |

I am curious how they handle the transport capacity on these things in 40K now. Should they count as 2 infantry units or just 1? |

I think the Guardian Warhost should consist of: 1 Farseer unit, 3 Guardian units and 3 Heavy Weapons Platforms. That would be one Farseer with Warlock bodyguard and 3 Guardian Squads in WH40k. Same price asnow (because the host looses 1 Guardian unit) upgrades for Support Platforms, Wraithguard Wraithlords and Serpents as usual. And Serpents allowed to transport Heavy Weapons Platfroms. |
