Does anyone know what these actually are? The guy is selling them as manticores but I have never seen ones like it! I know they can be used with the "count as" rule but was curious as to what they actually are!

First version of the manticore; from Space Marine era, if not before hand.

Yep, AT Manticores. Their sensor pods/giant spikey ball have been clipped off though.

Thanks guys, most helpful :) I will keep them and use them as manticores! If anyone had a pic of them before they had the sensor pod removed, I may try to modify them.....

The spikey ball is stupid. They're far better the way they are.

Surely the ball is either some kind of scanning array for targetting, or strong communications equipment to communicate with advance spotters?

I think it's what gives the Manticore it's EA (+1), MW in CC.

Bonk! Bonk! Bonk!
