135 - The Magnetised Manticore (/Deathstrike) - S92 "Nubis" (Cloud)

135 - The Magnetised Manticore (/Deathstrike) - S92 "Nubis" (Cloud)

I'm not sure what's been going on, but I've managed to get several models finished within a few weeks of each other. This is good news as it means that unfinished models are no longer just gathering dust, they are finished (and gathering dust)!

And that dust gathering finished model is my other Manticore. It is the magnetised Manticore as detailed in post 133. And as you can probably guess from the title, this is a special tank.

134 - A Battle Report (kind of)

134 - A Battle Report (kind of)

I managed to get in a game of 5th Edition a few weeks ago. This was at a mates, and against him and another pal. The game was just a 3 way kill everything game. The point limit was 1500pts.

I took about 3000pts worth of my Imperial Guard, so I was able to choose a relatively diverse force. The other armies were Black Templars, led by Shaun, and Orks, led by Neil. We weren't being particularly strict when it came to the FOC, and just tried to pick units that looked like they might be able to kill each other.

133 - Magnets + Manticore = Fun Times

133 - Magnets + Manticore = Fun Times

So as well as the eBay rescued Manticore, I also had a brand new one which I've been working on for way too long. There is a reason for this though, and it involves my old friend - magnets!

I've already tried my hand at magnetising a Valkyrie and Shadowsword. Both of which were fairly successful. Next up, was to try my magnetic skills on a Manticore, so that it could be fielded as either a Manticore or a Deathstrike. So read on for my little explanation.
