Special Rules

Energy Field: The prow is protected by an energy field to ward off enemy shots. Any ranged attack against the Wave Serpent from the front or side arc with a strength greater than 8 counts as strength 8. In addition, any attacks against a Wave Serpent never roll more than +1D6 for their armour penetration (for example, melta weapons at half range or ordnance only roll one dice). Attacks in close combat, or from the rear, are unaffected by the energy field and do not suffer these penalties.
