Cpt.Danjou Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 CSM 10th edition Chaos Vindicator This is a topic about Chaos Predator Vindicator in the 10th edition. Do you use them? How are you using them? Do you think they perform well? How do you equip them? Is there a detachment that they are extra crucial? Other Unit of the Week for Chaos Space Marines can be found in the link below.

Karhedron Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 The Vindicator is a solid choice in pretty much any army. It packs a lot of firepower into a compact rhino-sized model and is reasonably durable too at T11. As always, the key to getting the best from tanks and monsters is target saturation so it works best when fielded in conjunction with other large targets to overwhelm the enemy's anti-tank capabilities. Some detachments do offer more benefits than others: VOTLW - Shoot at your Focus of Hatred target for full rerolls Renegade Raiders - Assault is good on a unit with short-ranged firepower as it makes getting that Demolisher Cannon into range easier. Extra AP is always welcome too. A decent target for the Warpcharged Engines stratagem. Fellhammer Siege Host - -1 to Wound against high Strength attacks is good and various stratagems benefit shooting Pactbound Zealots - Always fun. Tzeentch, Nurgle and Undivided all benefit the Vindi's shooting darkseren1ty, Dr_Ruminahui, Tallarn Commander and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384231-csm-10th-edition-unit-of-the-week-chaos-vindicator/#findComment-6070174 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Clock Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Only been on the receiving end, though I do take one in my oldmarines Salamanders... Pactbound Nurgle vindicator one-shot a Knight of mine a couple weeks ago. It's definitely at or near the top of CSM armor units IMO. I know its appearance is a bit of a meme in some regions, but I really like the look.

HeadlessCross Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 I think anyone writing a list needs to try and start with at least one Vindicator and work their way from there. They're not mandatory but they definitely don't feel very optional either.

Brother Nathan Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 my vindicator is heavily cherished by my ironwarriors. it goes between being the most heavily targeted unit in my army or compleately ignored as its only one threat amongst many. its tough too, t 11 and a 2+. stack on smoke or such and its tough enough to remove. stack on all guns you can, i have a love of havoc launchers. i probably should play more aggressively with it with the sheige sheild and the change on tankshock too... did i mention mine is the old plastic and metal kit...

Gree Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 I like running a Pactbound Vindicator with Nurgle Mark and a Warpsmith buff. I know the Warpsmith isn't considered competitive. However, it's still nice to make the main gun 2+ to hit with Sustained 5+. It's a very swingy gun sometimes, but when it does work it does ridiculous damage.
