Where can I buy a few of those? It looks like it has some GW parts even, like the cannon? Is it a conversion?

It looks like a Forge World Vanquisher turret on top of a Leman Russ hull with Chimera sideskirts along the side.

You can buy it at the above link and it costs 54,50 Euros

It´s full resin with all options:

I will provide more pictures and size comparisons tomorrow.

I really like all the new kits, including the support platform.

I'm really curious if there are going to be new rules for it, in the upcoming WD.

I'll have to nab a few FP/NS first. Getting rid of that metal block, is well worth the price.

Yeah, a tank that actually looks like a functioning tank and not a crotch cannon for the guy in the turret.



This alone would drive parents to not buy IG for little Johnny.... I mean, c'mon, where does the ammo go?

Dammit, now all I can think about is all the IG tanks being powered by a mans Whoo Hoo.

You runied my day.

How would one runy a day?

I don't think he urinated on your day, lol.

Yeah, the new manticore kit is awesome.

What makes it worse is the driver's showing you his, "O" face (ala office space).

I don't see how anyone can't like the "new" LRBT if they had no problems with the old one. It's got a slightly longer turret and more options. Looks pretty good though - I'm a big fan of the new Manticore as well. Fire Prism looks alright; I couldn't care less about the support platform. Deathstrike's missile is a little small for a doomsday weapon.

Support weapons leave me underwhelmed. Really, a big shield? On an Eldar device?

The Russ kit is "about time", but at least it's out.

I kinda like the Manticore, although the Deathstrike missile and launcher are considerably undersized from what I was expecting.

The support platform is horrible - platform much too small, gunshield far too big and flat. Artless, really.

I guess I'll "need" a Manticore, and convert a Deathstrike...

Grammar Nazi, sorry.

the deathstrike looks like a toy.

You do know that these are new releases for the Warhammer 40k game, right?

I thought it was real life.

I'm disappoint that the DS doesn't look like a real, in the flesh ICBM.

Bummer.

wait.... it's A game?!?

Manticore Kit....finally. I was gonna save up for the FW one, but now...woo!

Agreed! I never get where the hate comes from in these kinds of threads.

Bummer.

I'm disappointed that it doesn't look like a scale model approximation of one. Instead they went for the giant un-aerodynamic trashcan with rocket boosters look.

I'm kinda let down by the Vanquisher barrel. I actually liked the old FW ones that were longer than the tank itself.

Only bad thing I can really say.

They look dumb now.

And the deathstrike missle isn't large enough.

am i the only one who see that the eldar support weapon has a heart painted on it?

Yeah, thats one of the symbols for that craftworld. It's in a chalice.

ahhh. that makes more sense....

That's because it's far too short.

Exactly. It needs to be extended by about 6", so the length is more proportional to a SCUD-A / R-11 on a JS-3 TEL.

Which would roughly match the Epic model.

The scale of the weapons effect doesn't really match up to that though.

That's because the Death Strike never should have been put into the Codex in the first place. It was an Epic vehicle firing Titan-scale warheads.

Shrinking it down was silly, and the model has a silliness to match.

You're insane, HBMC.

The Deathstrike should be every Guardsman's standard weapon.

Are you insinuating someone stole something from Games Workshop/Forge World--poorly named it the "Mortian" pattern Battletank and then started selling it as a replacement for a GW kit?

Lunacy!

Not at all! Let's just call it... inspired...

I mean, at some angles, it's hard to see any similarities whatsoever, such as:



vs



See. Nothing alike...
