Manta Super-heavy Dropship

Due to it's size, any enemy units that target the Manta do not need to make Snap Shots when it is Zooming and roll To Hit using their normal BS score even if they do not possess the Skyfire rule.

The entire lower deck can be lowered. All units on the lower transport deck can disembark on the same turn.

Up to four units may exit from the Manta's rear transport ramp per turn.

The Manta has two transport bays that are treated separately as to what they may carry into battle:
- The upper deck may only transport models of the Infantry unit type (this includes Jet Pack Infantry (Drone)) and has a transport capacity of 55.
- The lower deck has a transport capacity of 145 models (including models with the type Jet Pack Infantry (Drone) and up to eight Tau Battlesuits with the type Jet Pack Infantry. These units take up transport capacity as normal). It also has the ability to carry up to four non Super-heavy, non-flyer vehicles (which count as 30 models each). Transport vehicles being transported in this fashion may themselves carry units without those units taking up space on the Manta.
