templargdt Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Are you guys using the blood angels codex using normal predators? Fast seems to be a nice addition to the vehicle for a cheap cost.

j-smuv Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I always mean to fit a regular predator into the list, but I struggle to find a place for it. An autocannon predator is outclassed by the Baal, and a Stormraven or tac squad in a pod with melta are better options at tank hunting than an Annihilator. I still have a lot of them and vindicators left from my 5th edition av 13 list. So I'd love to find a place for them. It's just hard to justify at the exclusion of my Baal Predators that are now in the same slot. Maybe we'll get a detachment that expands the heavy slots. . .

Deschenus Maximus Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I still use mine, but I'm aware it's not what it used to be in the heydays of 5th.

knife&fork Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Are you guys using the blood angels codex using normal predators? Fast seems to be a nice addition to the vehicle for a cheap cost. 'fast' is a very good upgrade indeed, couldn't imagine taking a normal predator at all. But like many other marine classics it's outclassed by more recently updated units. A single autocannon and two las cannons kinda pales in comparison to things like wave serpents, most MCs or AV14 IG tanks with 30 'rending' and 'tank hunter' shots.

Jolemai Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 It's rare that I leave Baal without my "autolas" Predator. However, she will be benched when I finally get a Sicaran.
