You really did something different than painting your Manta? Really? Can't believe it...

Shas'La · **Posted:** May 06 2012 01:57

Yes really

Progress update, the manta is being pinned and wired currently

Shas'La · **Posted:** Jun 15 2012 02:23

Some lighting was done recently, so far the model is on track to be finished and ready for games day Chicago.

What is a manta without a cadre commander?

Shas'Saal · **Posted:** Jun 18 2012 03:47

Very nice Huru MorDae. The commander looks nice, and the manta is progressing nicely. Can't wait to see it finished!

Very nice!

I do think the regular Farsight sword looks a bit titchy on him, though--one of those Eldar wraithlord blades would probably be better. Still, good work!

Lucky you! that manta looks great! :biggrin:

So assembly took... two years... wow. I look forward to seeing that manta soar through the sky, tabling every enemy you even throw a glance (I feel unsure this is a correct English term.) towards.
I feel the greater good just grew even greater.

EDIT: when I think back on page 1, I regret the par with lucky, a little.

It is game ready now, yes. But is it complete? No. I plan to do more conversion work on it later.

A few things I have in mind is setting it up to hold 4 remora drone fighters.
Finding a more striking, look, for the burst cannons.
detailing all 48 firewarriors inside to my fire warrior farsight enclave look.
Making a farsight model (outside of suit) sitting in an Aun chair.
Making a 2x2 base that also acts as a display board for both my army and my manta.

Really Nice man and worth the wait! Is there any chance you could post some more pics from differnt angles and maybe some close ups as well?

Shas'Vre · **Posted:** Mar 08 2013 05:15

I had forgotten all about this - nice to see some paint on the beast.

Have you been allowed to game with it yet or does the gaming club need a bigger table?

The rear door expands and contracts with temperature and makes it a pain to open up -.-

holy moley is that manta large! :eek:

imagine flying for example an imperial fighter plane, and seeing that thing soar through the sky, intending to land nearby.

Nice work. I've only been following this for the last few days but I'm already impressed. So do any of your gaming buddies know about it yet or are their jaws still yet to drop?

Or indeed on them. The Manta looks large enough to take up most of the gaming table. 'Oh sorry was that your army. Maybe they shouldn't have stood where my Manta wanted to park.'

I'm guessing this was your Manta that was featured on BoLS. . .

Aye, it was. And if I can get off work its first game will be this weekend.

Shas'Saal · **Posted:** Mar 10 2013 11:55

My lord.

A fully painted REAL Manta.

AND THE PAINTS ARE THINNED AND APPLIED CORRECTLY.

With LED no less.

This....This can't be real! Nothing this awesome could be real! I....I need to rest for a moment. Though I never really liked Mantas.....
