| I have used Mantas quite a lot. Look at Markconz website Hordes of Things for many battles reports with them. It would be great to hear how one turns out in a tournament setting. Do tell how it goes Borka. My experience is that if the enemy has even moderate MW/TK weaponry the Manta will tend to tak... |

| I'd always assumed that the big suits - Riptides etc - did not fit in Mantas. At least not in a combat ready form. But this discussion prompted me to a quick look online: XV104 Riptide Battlesuits will often be found in combat where the fighting is thickest and will take the brunt of any enemy attac... |

| But I plan on using the EM4 mechs http://www.em4miniatures.com/acatalog/Science_Fiction.html As the basis for conversion. The two bipedal mechs are slightly different in size (not apperent in the photos). And I think they will work well for these two battlesuits. I have been using the EM4 mechs as ... |

| . . . many things in Epic are abstracted . . . Marker lights are kind of a screwed concept form the beginning. These are hard things to swallow as it makes an exception to a core rule shooting and challenges the ZOC concept. Seems Markerlights are getting rather slandered here. Every special charac... |

| I assume no triple retain for this branch of Eldar. That would mean that mean the Witch-sight, and hence the Void Dreamer character, is less valuable than a Farseer. Slightly compounded by losing the Leader from the Felarch. Although I happily admit that retaining on a 2+ instead of a 3+ is pretty u... |

Forgot to ask. Which formations can garrison?
Rangers (Ghost Walkers) and War Walkers (Wasp Walkers?)?
Maybe Hornets? |

| Liked the look of playing with this list. Just wanted to check some things: The Character upgrades with armour, CC and FF values - do they replace the stats of the unit they join? The Vampire Hunter seems to have four MW2+ shots. 2x Vampire Hunter Twin Pulsar, 30 cm, 2 x MW2+ I assume that the forma... |

| Always great to see a Manta planet-falling onto the battlefield. Sounds like a very touch and go opening engagement - a near run thing. Firstly, I was lucky to get away with a 0-0 draw. A couple failed Tau activations and poor shooting by the AX-1-0 robbed Atension of a sure win. Failed activations ... |

| Very interesting finally a reason to paint up my 2 last Mantas :) This is exactly my motivation. At this stage my "true scale" [1:3000] Explorer Class vessel and the three Mantas [1:300] are all painted up ready for battle. Thought I'd try some advance warning before springing them on Mar... |

| Lots of other races have their titan war-engine lists and I was thinking perhaps one was possible for Tau. Suppose that a Tau force arrives in orbit and wants to land against significant ground opposition. What would they use? The core of the force would be a flight of Manta Dropships with extra lif... |

| Yes, did mean 3 Jet Bikes - swapped it around a couple of times and forgot to amend that figure. In terms of cost it does not compare to unfavourably with a standard mechanised guardian formation. Has some 15 cm MW firepower and can shift 35 cm on a consolidate and still provide FF support. 2 Farsee... |

So a couple of combinations attract my attention:
2 Farseers, Wave Serpent, 3 Jet bikes, for 225 points.
2 Farseers, 2 Wraithguard, 3 Wave Serpents, 2 Jet Bikes, for 425 points.
2 Farseers, 12 Guardians, for 250 points.
Seem OK, but were they your intention? |

| 4. with Ulthwe being heavily reliant upon guardians we need to buff their only core choice the BGWH --> multiple upgrades are added in order to customize your BGWH to your own liking (additional guardians, transport options, war walkers) What about allowing some jet bikes in there. Say swapping a f... |

Glad to see that they have that stuff back in stock.
Used it for most of my plastic scratch builds.
Couldn't get it the last time I needed to replace. |
