Army Builder says Wave Serpents are illegal in the Warhost is that true. I am typing up a friends list for him so I can't look at a codex since I don't own it.

You cannot take a Wave Serpent on it's own in a Warhost (you can in a CAD, since it's a Fast Attack choice), they are only available as a Dedicated Transport - I don't have army builder (I use Battlescribe), but I imagine it will be an option under the unit itself?

Ya I am upgrading a fire dragon unit to use a wave serpent and says illegal unit

Might be a bug. Or maybe you're trying to give them two!

Its heavily debated.

For Fragons to be in the Warhost, it must be an Aspect Shrine.
All units in that formation *must* take an Exarch (no "if able" text).
Dedicated Transports are Units.
Wave Serpents have no "Exarch" option.

You could argue RAI, or possibly RAW even, but its debatable either way.

I see what you mean.

This must be a bug in Army Builder.

It will allow you to take an Aspect Host, and give the Aspects Wave Serpents. However as soon as you try to make the Aspect Host Formation part of the Craftworld Warhost Detachment, it marks the Wave Serpents as illegal.

There's nothing about making the Aspect Host part of the Detachment that would make Wave Serpents illegal, so I'm sure this is a bug in the program.
