I agree with this. It will usually take 3-4 turns if your lucky to knock out Warmachines. That leaves your monster taking 2 or so more turns to get into position. So turn 5-6 before it's doing anything. Seems like a bit of a waste taking one. I'll still run my Manticore when I have it painted, because I like the model, but only ever in very laid back games (I personally have never seen our local Empire player roll less then 5 wounds with a Cannon hit. It's bloody horrible. 3 Times I've run a Chaos Giant, and 3 times it's been dead before my turn 2, I even marked it Tzeentch for the Ward Save!). You don't end up with obstacles to hide behind, it's not that easy unfortunately.
