[GreyDeath]

Ok finished my 3rd Manatee and was able to also do a detailed walk threw with photos while I was at it.
(Walk threw can be seen at my site. Link is in my signature to go there.)


So now here is the finished shot of it all built...(not painted).
Along with the rest of the squad.


front of the squad.



another shot of the squad little more side




And the finished third manatee by itself.
Done a little differently I actually like the older ones better?
Not shure if its a big deal or if you can even tell the difference but its a building thing?
Front:




side



Thanks.

This is the conversion board, and this is greydeath, so... um... YES, he made them.

They look good GD. Got any ideas for the rules yet? Chapter approved has a nice create a tank section.

[AuinMyrrath]

We could just give them Devilfish armour, an SMS, and a Burst Cannon, make them a (Fast?) skimmer, and call them a fast attack choice, kind of like a beefier Pihrana... say 60 points?

Vash - Where is the tank creator section? Link? Info? (I'd like to check it out heh...)

Greydeath, these are truely amazing. Are they going up on eBay? And if not, do you take monetary offers to build a few for somebody?

*tears up room looking for book* AHAH, here it is, now lets see...

Alright, its a small vehicle, so 46 base coste at 12 armor, 11 side and 10 rear, so thatsa its fast so +10 more so 56, tis a skimmer so +20 more points, its a fast attack, 10 points for the burst cannon and 20 for the smart missil system, thats at 116 (ooh getting expencive).

So its a BS 3 model with a burst cannon and a smart missil system, its a fast skimmer with front armor 12, side armor 11 and rear armor 10 all for 116 points... hmm... that seems a little high, maybe someone else can make use of these rules better.

Aye, but where's the create a tank section...?

[Subzero]

Only the Tau weapon and upgrades are with the Swordfish, the actual VDR rules are earlier than that.
