Indirect Fire: The Manticore must fire 'indirectly' in the same way as a mortar or Whirlwind, allowing it to fire at targets it cannot see. Manticores obey the normal Barrage rules. They are Guess range weapons with a range of 36"-300" (see page 84 of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook). Note that the minimum Guess range is 36".
Immobile: Once deployed, a Manticore platform cannot be moved without being towed.
Towed: A Manticore platform can be towed into position by a Trojan towing vehicle.
Ammunition: A Manticore platform may only fire four times in a game. Each shot represents a single missile firing. Once a Manticore has fired four times, it cannot fire again until re-armed. Re-arming a Manticore is a time-consuming procedure, beyond the scope of a Warhammer 40,000 game.
