As always, everthing you need is in the rule set...
The warp wave is clearly "a psychic or warp based attack" and void shields
give a 50/50 save.
And of course if the warp wave fails while you are in contact with a titan
you are pinned and will want to have a lot of buddies in the CC segment...
Personally I would have liked the GW rules boys to fix wave serpents with a
statement like "cannot affect models they cannot pin" or something sensible
like that, but instead the money grubbing toads gave us the E40K heresy
instead...
