Scratchbuilt Tau Manta

[gravengames]

Hi all,

We enjoy taking on big wargaming projects, and there's not a bigger 40k model available than the Tau Manta! Since the price tag is so high, we decided to build our own using foamboard and cereal boxes:

What do you think?

Very nice looking model you've made there. I like the article you're written up about making it, and yeah I can well imagine your opponents faces when you turn up to an Apoc battle with that. I mean there's super heavy vehicles, but frankly the Manta is above that level and on a par with the various Titans. I wouldn't want to fight one.

:cool: That's the best scratch built Manta I've seen.

I would have liked to have seen more "building" photos as you made each section. Looking foward to seeing it painted up.

That's a great build indeed. Now slap some paint on it! :D

Very nicely done.
