Forge World Un-Boxing: Tau Manta

Every wonder what one of the most expensive kits Forge World makes looks like in real life?


Me and Jkin were taking the other day about how cool it would be to have a Tau Manta, and then we wonder just how much work it would actually be to assemble, lol. 

So to the internet we went.  I ended up finding these pictures of an unboxed Tau Manta. 


Unfortunately the forum I found them on had a virus, and so I got hit with some malware. Sooo I won’t be linking back to it.

This kit looks pretty sweet, but daunting at the same time.  I like how you also get resin Crisis suit legs that bend at the knees (or it appears you can make them nomally as well).

Compare it’s size to the kitchen cabniets behind it, and this GW employee.


Un-boxing below, enjoy MBG

Thats about it. It also came with two transfer sheets (one black, one white).
