Surouji Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Hey yo, My bro is getting the SM megaforce, and he isn't using his predator. I don't know if I should buy it off him for around half the price. I mean yeah it's a good deal but the actual question is: Should I take Predator over Long Fangs? Cause only reason I would take predator over LF is that it's more mobile. What do you guys think?

Requiem of the Wolf Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Hey yo, My bro is getting the SM megaforce, and he isn't using his predator. I don't know if I should buy it off him for around half the price. I mean yeah it's a good deal but the actual question is: Should I take Predator over Long Fangs? Cause only reason I would take predator over LF is that it's more mobile. What do you guys think? If you ask whether you should have Long fangs or Predator..I can only point out the question you should ask yourself is...why not both? Long fangs are Wonderful,they really are...Predators are great fire platforms too,and they can set up to be either major dakka or spiffy tank busting. The downsides are Long fangs are static if you want to use them. And with predators one lucky shot can wreck 3 weapons. Honestly,I would go cheap with the Predator,go with Autocannon,and two heavy bolters,use it to hunt troops,while having 6 Long fangs,with 2 Lascannons and 3 Missile Launchers. that set up is 255 points,and gives you alot of options.

CainTheHunter Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Seconded. Don't get Predator over Long Fangs, instead take both. I've had a lot of fun with LF and I managed to get a really good deal on Predator kit, so it's going to be made into my second Heavy support choice as the Predator Destructor variant with some magnetising for possible switch to the Annihilator option (which is far overpriced IMO). From time to time I am also a adding twin-las Razorback as dedicated transport for my LF if the points allow.

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 if i was to take only one (as i dont like armor that cant transport Marines...personal taste) i would go Long Fangs everyday and twice on Sunday. they are easier to hide, easy for the opponent to overlook, can hit 2 targets in 1 phase, look cooler.

Simo429 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 if it was a straight up choice between the two because of points issues long fangs every day of the week like others im not keen on armour that doesnt have a transport capacity if I was going to look for more armour id go with a LRC at higher points levels however Predators certainly have their place a cheap dakka pred can do a lot of damage against a horde army Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202916-predators/#findComment-2418427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Wilhelm Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Hey yo,My bro is getting the SM megaforce, and he isn't using his predator. I don't know if I should buy it off him for around half the price. I mean yeah it's a good deal but the actual question is: Should I take Predator over Long Fangs? Cause only reason I would take predator over LF is that it's more mobile. What do you guys think? LF and Preds are both solid choices. This is what will make one the better choice for you. If you run a Foot list, use LF. The bad guys Anti-tank guns will be wasted killing Marines. If you run a Mech list, use Preds. The bad guys Anti-tank guns will be stretched to the limit trying to destroy all of your Armour. +++ Preds are a popular choice in general. If you can buy one for half price, I say buy it. You'll never get that kind of deal again and when/if you do buy one, you'll be sad you didn't grab it while you could have. Remember to magnetise the HB and LC sponsons, so you can equip it for all occasions. :huh: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202916-predators/#findComment-2418451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surouji Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Lol yeah thanks for the advice, I wasn't really thinking to take both. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202916-predators/#findComment-2418471 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Lol yeah thanks for the advice, I wasn't really thinking to take both. if anything, take both and magnetize EVERYTHING on it, so you can also use it as a Rhino or any of the Variants.

Wolf Guard Hengist Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I took Long Fangs and a Predator (Lascannons) to a tourney in April after which I wished I had taken two lots of Long Fangs as the Pred did bugger all really. The lack of mobility doesn't bother me because if your moving your not firing everything which is poor use of heavy weapons really. I'm even thinking of taking three units of Long Fangs to my next tourney I love them that much!
