Editing Predator Tank (section)

==Tabletop==
The Predator Tank, being functionally a converted Personnel Carrier, isn't quite the equal of the [[Imperial Guard]] [[Leman Russ Battle Tank|Leman Russ]] in terms of firepower or armor, but it makes up for this with superior accuracy, faster land speed, and by being more cost-efficient to field than its Imperial Guard counterpart - traits which carry over to the Tabletop game. A Predator can easily be tailored for either an anti-infantry or anti-vehicle role with ease, and at a point cost that doesn't break the bank: the Predator Destructor and Predator Annihilator both start at around 170 points, including sponsons. In the fluff it was once widely used across the entire Imperium, but after many millennia that is no longer the case. In the current setting it is fielded almost exclusively by Space Marine forces.

All in all, the Predator is a decent and surprisingly overlooked vehicle. Unfortunately, players tend to eschew it in favor of [[Land Raider|flashier]] [[Vindicator|heavy support]] [[Defiler|choices]]. Whilst it lacks the [[Dakka|ammo-spewing fury]] of other Imperial tanks, its firepower is nothing to sneer at and its armor is quite good as well - it's hard to find a more efficient vehicle for a heavy support choice for the points-cost involved. An old saying amongst Marine players of [[Chaos Space Marines|both]] [[Space Marines|flavors]] is that if you have the points and a free slot with nothing else to put in it, a Predator won't let you down.
