Serpents transport ability increased by 2, so that is extra space platform takes.

I would agree that I woudn't pay those extra points, it is mainly FF unit when used in serpents, so that extra shots ain't so great.

Hmm no transport capacity for Serpents should remain at 2 and the Heavy Weapons Platforms should occupy 1 space.

How about 'Each Serpent may carry X infantry units and Y heavy weapons platforms'?

Yes, if transporting platforms should be allowed it would be simpliest to make them use just onepoint of transport capacity.

Maybe: "Two infantry stands, one of which may be a Heavy Weapon Platform"?

Yes :)

On a side note: Wraithguard in Wh40k can be transported in Serpents too. But they require double the space = 1 Unit max per Serpent in Epic.

Hmmm, 7serpents, 3 WGs and guardians what a FF unit! If transporting wraith guards would be alllowed, I'll think they would be real fun, but cost issues would limit their usage pretty much.

for 18 x 4+ FF, 1 x 5+ FF and 3 x 4+ MW FF and all the armour RA (using current rules), might be worth it

That's increase by two 40k models, so twelve individual troopers, not, a total of, *four* EPIC bases!  *laugh*

So the solution closest to 40k would be:

'Each Serpent may carry 2 infantry units and 1 heavy weapons platform'

Yes to transport, 1 space. Also possibly yes to transport in Vampire while you are at it, 1 space.

No points changes are necessary. The most effective usage of Wave Serpent transport for Guardians would not make platforms an attractive option. Ie the preferred tactic amongst vet eldar players that I see, is a 50cm engage from behind cover, 11 units at FF4+ plus farseer, and then hop back to where they started from with hit and run.  Maybe a platform or two to provides a little flexibility but it hurts the primary tactic with little real benefit (you get 30 BM laying capability with the serpents anyway).

No mandatory upgrades of including platforms - as Chroma said this would just annoy many players by forcing them to buy units for something that is a core formation.


On the subject of Wraithguard at 2 transport slots each - not without serious work addressing the balance issues first.
