Mantis Legion

Recommended Posts

The other day I read about the Mantis Legion. how they went renegade with the Astral Claws and all. Then I read about their 'Praying Mantidae'. Beeing faster, stronger and better than other marines, and with a tunnel-vision, not beeing able to see anything but the targets. They call it Battle Haze, we call it Black rage.

 

The Mantis Legion doesn't have any reason for having the lucifer enginge, so it's not ok (in my eyes) to use any rhino based vehicles. But as it seems (it's rumoured anyways) the Storm raven will not remain a BA only vehicle. If vanilla marines will be able to take a SR, then it would be perfect for the Mantis legion to use SR's, fitting with the mantis theme and all.

And in my eyes a mantis warrior should have a jump pack, so our RAS as troops fits in perfect.

 

So what do you guys think? A jump packin' army with storm ravens and maybe landraiders. I don't really see the fluff for using a furioso, but imagine the mantis claws on a Dread!

Oh, if I only had the money...

 

I should be quite tired of painting red by the summer, hopefully I can afford some Mantis Legion by then. LC as mantis claws - I like it!

 

I was planning of painting a tactical squad as ultramarines (coming to Baal to help against the nids) and implement it in my army, but maybe I'll blend in a Mantis Legion squad instead. Change is nice.
