...in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.. Men of the Emperor: Burning Horizon hopes to bring the brutal, grim, dark and wonderful universe of Warhammer 40,000 we all love to the Men of War real-time strategy game franchise. With a small but dedicated team, we hope to bring as much of WH40K into the game as we can.
The Manticore Missile Tank is an Imperial Guard mobile missile/rocket launcher platform based on the Chimera chassis. It can fulfill a number of roles from long-range bombardment to air defense, giving it greater versatility than other platforms. The Manticore is a highly sophisticated piece of equipment, with audio-modulated radio control systems, gyroscopic roll stabilisation, radar-guided targeting augers and predictive logic-engines. This advanced equipment is used to fire and control the four Manticore Missiles, which it can launch individually or, if sufficiently modified, in one great salvo. The ability to swap out warheads or launch other advanced rocket systems gives the Manticore a versatility highly prized by Imperial commanders. While the Storm Eagle Cluster Munition is the most commonly fired weapon, the Manticore's fire capability is very versatile and can fire missiles with high-explosive, incendiary, and chemical warheads. It can also fire surface-to-air missiles for an air defense role.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!
Very nice. I can imagine a bunch of funny things I can do with this. *g*
i'm a hydra man myself, but nothing ruins a xeno's day quite like imperial guard altillery... nor is anything quite as satisfying as "shelling the filthy scum into oblivion". that's when the imperial guard commander sits back in his chair, calls for a mug of tea, leans back and listens to the imperial guard version of the '1812 overture' and 'ride of the valkyries' while watching the fireworks. then at the end rises from his seat, dabs away a single tear with a handkerchief and says over a voxcaster "that was beautiful. guardsmen of the imperium, i thank you. company, dismissed."
You better make the Deathstrike Missile Launcher too
Given the size of Men of War's maps I think you'd kill everything on the battlefield.
already underway :)
No Xenos can withstand the might of the Emperor's weapon XD
Good artillery but very unpredictable...I'd keep my distance if I were you.
