A few of you asked if we were doing this one. The Manticore, the pancake stack of combat vehicles.

I felt it'd be a cop out to remove the extra layer on the main hull, and instead focused more on coming up with a more interesting turret shape, as that was another weak element of the original design.

I'm sure many of you can't wait to drop this on the table and terrorize more costly mechs.

Old model was good, this looks as if it might be better!

Matthew Shaw

Hell yeah! J. Edgar PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

Brian Sausley

Nice! Are the four dark squares on the front of the hill viewports for the crew compartment?

Fherot

It… looks kind of cute but it shouldn’t. I’ll wait for the 3D sculpt to cast judgement.

Steven Cross

I like it, the loss of one of the teirs of this layer cake isn't a bad thing and the barrel was never very long to begin with

TIM STRAUVEN

Hmmmm, syrupy.. thanks for keeping the hull stack !!

TIM STRAUVEN

Paired with the Vedette, I imagine ?

Matthew Shaw

I would have thought they'd be the same model just a different Alpha Strike card. Of course, I could be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time.

Nice! The LRM-10 is especially good-looking. The hull's second layer looks less Panzer IV-like than before but that's fine. I'm not in love with the box on half of the barrel - it kind of adds another layer to the stack - but if it helps against droopiness then it's worth it.

James Bixby

I love the addition of the coax sensor. Will the hull mounted laser look like it can aim, or is it pure fixed?

Was thinking more of matching a detail we often add to mech PPCs, but you are right it will help prevent barrel droop.

Matthew Shaw

I wouldn't have said it like that. A tracked vehicle with 60 launch tubes is a tracked vehicle with 60 launch tubes. This is good news though.

Nicely done! Still holding out for the Rommel/Patton redesign. Also, would be nicely surprised if the Hollander-II got squeezed in at the last minute.....

Jarod DePastene

I've got a perfectly reasonable Hollander-II proxy, right now.... a Dutchman I bought from Strato Minis. But I'm waiting for the official redesign. Gotta have my OG starting lance from MechCommander.....

FINALLY!! I rejoined just to see THIS! My fav tank of Battletech. BTW I was wondering if you will also be doing the upgraded versions from the 3058 Tech Manual like the Goblin ISV, the upgraded Maxim and YES the upgrade Manticore?

What about the white square on each side of the 4 dark squares. Are they supposed to be headlights?
