Straddling the functional roles of both an Attack Craft and a full starship, these small spacecraft are useful in a variety of roles. The Manta is also the smallest interstellar-capable spacecraft of the Tau, and serves a vital role in carrying out the current and future expansions of the Tau Empire. The Manta also features a large transport capacity that allows it to carry entire Hunter Cadres to and from engagements. It is well-armoured for use in frontline combat and can deliver massive amounts of firepower to the battlefield to help support Tau ground forces during a frontal assault against entrenched enemy positions. The Manta, more formally known as the Manta Missile Destroyer, is a super-heavy Tau spacecraft that is also the Tau Empire's closest equivalent to the Imperium of Man's Titans and Ork Gargants. That's a reason to look closer at one of the biggest 'miniatures' in wargames.
Found this awesome Tau Manta by Awaken Realms on the web.
