I'm talking about the pre-TL era. Everything I needed was
not in the rule sets. Even so, the shield save only applies to
psychic attacks, not warp-based ones (not that GW even makes that
distinction).

The wave is wider than the serpent itself; my friend's
favorite tactic was to brush the wave up against one of the legs of
my warlord titan.
Of course if it did get pinned, then the titan was pinned
as well (this is pre-TL, remember), so the eldar player would have
still nullified the titan or half the turn.

I'd have liked for them to get rid of the damn things
enitirely. =)
