Note it does not stack with multiple tech priests as they only give it the special rule.<br /><br />So if you had three manticores and three techpriests you can fire 6 shots in one go. The main reason you cannot fire more than one is that ordnance causes you to fire the rest of your shots as snap shots, which blasts weapons cannot fire. PoMS allows you to fire one more than usual.

I'm pretty new to Guard (and came back to the game after a gap of about 5 years...) so your blog is a godsend.<br /><br />I was, in particular, trying to decide between a Manticore and 1-3 Basilisks, and this article swung it for me so went with the Manticore. No regrets whatsoever, love the model itself and you make a good point on the 4 shots not really being a problem.<br /><br />Also is it true the Manticore went through a phase of being able to fire all rockets in one turn?

It is a barrage weapon and per rules if you have multiple blast templates from a barrage weapon they use the rules for multiple barrage. <br /><br />If people argue differently then ask them how the thunder fire cannon fires its blasts barrage then, as its another single model that can fire multiple barrage blastsGrumpy Guardsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17589097813598490581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830414113837067378.post-40782034927123521972014-01-20T15:27:25.461-08:002014-01-20T15:27:25.461-08:00It is what makes them so great.It is what makes them so great.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128337605429847148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830414113837067378.post-7776116308469705262014-01-20T15:25:10.700-08:002014-01-20T15:25:10.700-08:00I love the Manticore. .

It's probably the sole reason our Tau players stopped running the Mark'O builds (T5 2+ Save commander in front of a squad of around 10 marker drones, giving them all BS5), the manticore rolled a hit on both blasts for something like 18 Wounds wiping the unit and leaving the commander to make 8 saves, every single one being ID - he failed 2 :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830414113837067378.post-69078169963681974032014-01-20T11:59:09.933-08:002014-01-20T11:59:09.933-08:00Not in codex :P.

I am more of a codex purist, and believe in only taking what is in an official codex. <br /><br />However I know I am a minority on that front. Be patient, another time.
