Manta Missile Destroyer

The Manta Missile Destroyer is a versatile ship capable of operating in space or in the air in the WH40K Mod. It is often used in space to support the Tau Fleet as a bomber, or as a landing craft to transport an entire hunter Cadre on to the ground. In this role, it is complete with vehicles, and, if need be, can support them in battle. Armed with Rail cannons, a battery of Ion Cannons, missiles, and burst cannons for defense, a Manta is a formidable opponent to any force on the ground.

Tau Mantas were deployed towards the end of the Damocles Gulf Crusade to counter Imperial Titans on Dal'yth, and managed to stalemate the giant war machines.

A smaller version of the Manta, called the Moray, is used solely in a support function, and cannot carry troops.
