My Aunt's inheritance was poorly timed to coincide with the release of: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/acatalog/QUATERMASTERS_STORE_TITANS_31.html

There goes ?550 on the most awesome model I've ever seen. I got the 2x Laser Blaster variant.
Should arrive just after my finals. Will have to start making progress on my warhound...

Thats almost 700 ? ... How big is this thing?

RCgothic · « **Reply #2 on:** April 30, 2008, 06:52:40 AM »

It's about 16" tall.

I'd prefer this personally

! Tau Manta. Largest model ever produced by GW. 63cm long, 86cm wide and weiging in at a massive 12.5 kg. This thing has a hanger for 4 tanks and 8 battlesuits as well as seating for 4 dozen Fire Warriers, 6 Gun Drones and a Tau Ethereal!

I dare you to paint it in Hello Kitty colours.

RCgothic · « **Reply #5 on:** April 30, 2008, 07:47:12 AM »

The Manta is impractiaclly large, being a flier, using it as such would be impossible. A Reaver is a walker, and can stomp around a battlefield as much as it likes.

limey BSc. · « **Reply #6 on:** April 30, 2008, 07:51:53 AM »

How would it be impossible? Using it a game would bt. It would take up half the arena!

Senator · « **Reply #7 on:** April 30, 2008, 08:03:16 AM »

If you choose your landing site carefuly, of cource it can stomp things.

RCgothic · « **Reply #8 on:** April 30, 2008, 08:17:05 AM »

Nope, only walkers can stomp. Strength 10 Power weapon attack against every engaged model. Mmmmm. Then they have to fall back, and any survivors can be shot.

Senator · « **Reply #9 on:** April 30, 2008, 10:04:30 AM »

So, if a tank drives over a cliff and falls over a unit it doesn't stomp?

I completely second that! O_O;

I never did play Warhammer, though. (this IS Warhammer, right? O.o;) Heh... those look like Decepticons!

RCgothic · « **Reply #11 on:** April 30, 2008, 10:47:37 AM »

Yup, Warhammer 40k.

Ya, and if the Manta lands on you, its instant splatter! WS of 1 and AP 1

Dude, you're a bad, bad man... :lol:

RCgothic · « **Reply #14 on:** April 30, 2008, 05:13:24 PM »

Hehe. There's a guy at my store likes to turn up with a load of super-heavy tanks for apocalypse games. It'll be fun to turn up with the Reaver and blow them away at a rate of two per turn.

With Apocalypse, they did say that you have to get used to removing about fourty infantry models per turn and not be too alarmed if you're tanks start biting the dust straight away.

I'd mention something about the price, but then I saw that it has free shipping...

P.S. Manta: ?900.00? Zomfg.

RCgothic · « **Reply #18 on:** May 01, 2008, 01:20:37 PM »

Against a mechanised columnit wouldn't be unusual if the reaver blew away eight in one turn (4 templates each touching 4 vehicles, half destroyed) AND the vast majority of a 50 man conscript platoon in one turn of shooting (apocalypse missiles)

Isn't that just normal for a conscript platoon? Their only use is to stick in front of your commanders with a big sign marked "Eat Us First".
