        No, but I do recall the conclusion of the last time this was
discussed. The Wave Serpent is the unstoppable force, and the Dragsta
field is the immovable object? When the two collide, the rules break.
The Q&A suggested that the fields lock together and stick until one or
the other is dropped. If the field was actually fired, then it just
stops, I think.

        Apart from that, you've got the weakest force to face them
with. You want either fliers or indirect barrages to stop them, and
you're lacking in both. Technically, you have to be able to see the
unit with one of yours, but we take special exception to the Wave
Serpent, as it's pretty clear where they are when you can see the
Wave. Also, Eldar players sometimes try to claim that they kill
units on a 4+ to hit, but that's only when they actually fire the
wave.

        Other solutions would probably involve a Fighta-Bomma
conversion to 2nd edition, or a Gargant tall enough to shoot directly
at it. A gargant on a hill will probably be able to get a bead on
them.
