Well, theoretically they could. Snap-fire provides a small obstacle,
unfortunately. If I tried to whip my wave serpents over the heads of Tom's
marines, I'd get my grav-drives full of bolter holes. Not good.

Oh, and Tom -- Eldar can be very shooty, too, so don't think your screen of
wimpy children in power armor will shut me down. I've just been having too
much fun with relativistic-velocity Swooping Hawks (our friend Dave fell
prey to a 95cm charge that anhiliated a tac detachment last Friday). :)
