Brother Heinrich Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hey guys, has anyone used a predator infernus in any of there games? If so has it held its own or failed miserably to do anything but throw points down the drain? Thanks!

Hesh Kadesh Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 1 Melta Blast to kill a vehicle? Armoured Ceramite exists. Hull Point damage is what kills tanks for the most part. Not really very good at that. S8 AP1 is good for bottoming out Feel No Pain on Terminators however.

Carlson793 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 1 Melta Blast to kill a vehicle at 9"? Edited to drive the knife home. Much as I love the look of my Deimos Pred w/Magna-melta, I'm glad I thought to magnetize the gun - too much squish for not enough oomf from that's too close range.

depthcharge12 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Probably better for taking on contemptors that might be charging up the field or possibly a lucky (and I stress lucky) hit on a Titan that strips off more hull points. I'd say take a Deredeo lol 4 twin linked BS5 shots at S8 with sunder. You're on average stripping off 2 hull points from an AV13 vehicle with that iirc.

Moonstalker Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 It's (very small) niche is to bring a blast weapon in a Predator squadron. Run down this checklist: 1. Do you have a Predator Squadron already? 2. Are your Heavy Support slots full? 3. Do you need/want something like a Vindicator? If you answer yes to all 3, then a Magna-melta Predator might be what you need. Otherwise, it's not particularly good.
