Manta

T’au Empire datasheet · 1 model — 2100 points

The Manta is an advanced, super-heavy dropship used to deliver large contingents of troops into combat. Powerful energy fields shield the craft during descent, while no less than sixteen drone-controlled burst cannons fend off hostile attention and wing-mounted primary guns engage priority targets that might jeopardise the Manta’s landing site.
