The Manticore, also known as the Manticore Rocket Launcher, is a self-propelled rocket artillery piece used by the Astra Militarum that is based on a variant of the Chimera armoured personnel carrier chassis.
This Manticore was painted many years ago for Epic 40000 (so well before Epic Armageddon as well).

These were quite fiddly models to glue together. I remember getting the rockets stuck on my fingers a few times…

It was a pity that when we finally saw the 40K scale version, it wasn’t anything like this.
