http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/31.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net SM codex would the Mantis Warriors have had them before their penitent crusade? If not, would they be allowed them after, or would they not be trusted and therefore not given the best new gear?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/604030/7001463.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/604030/7001463.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/604030/7004128.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/604030/7004128.page GMT
Also on the Wikii it says their Penitent crusade is over.


Battle of Herodian IV (999.M41) - The Mantis Warriors answered a distress call from the world of Herodian IV when it came under attack from a Tyranid splinter Hive Fleet.

Following the successful defence of the Herodian System from the Tyranids the Inquisition determined that the Mantis Warriors' actions had restored the Emperor's blessing to them and they were allowed to begin to recruit Neophytes to replace their losses once more.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/604030/7004952.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/604030/7004952.page GMT
That said, most of their new gear probably got 'lost in the post' so to speak, what with the Mantis Warriors being of no fixed abode for several years.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/604030/7006765.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/604030/7006765.page GMT
