But the truth is, if you have a couple of regulars who get into a game and push it, that can force support. I have seen it happen.

That's certainly what I'm hoping, yes, it would be nice if GW pushed a little harder (ok, a lot harder) but if we can each get a couple of people interested, it makes chances of survival a whole heap better.

Hello to you all,
I'm slowly expanding my Blood Ravens force and I'd like to include some tanks! I've got a epic40k era blister of razorbacks and one with predators. I've also got 2 spare rhino's and some bits, so I want to build a total of 4 predators and 4 razorbacks.
I've got the feeling that I get most bang for my buck by putting AT weapons on all tanks, because my marines already have AP power and the AT weapons also have more range.
So, what are your experiences?
Greetings,
Gamgee

I've found that my Preds ethier fight spectacularly (Killing a Eldar Titan [The small one] in 2 turns w/ no losses) or Die usefully by drawing the fire of an opponent who fears them out of porportion. The AT Preds are a great way to make a enemy Mechanized formation have to walk after turn one, so I'd say they are the better choice, but they wont stand up to most of the other races Armor formations.
As for Razorbacks, they are awesome, but dont waste to much brainpower thinking about their use, just add them to Tac/Dev dets w/ Rhinos for extra shots and to soak up more BM's Both types are usefull, with a slight edge to the AT due to the range.
I use 1 AP Razorback with each of my 2 Tac Dets, and 2 AT Razorbacks with my Devastator Det for a nice anti-tank unit.:;):

I too like AT preds. Well I don't like, I just get killed by them. Zzaps and Soopa Guns will really give SM tanks a hard time, but the AT preds can give back. 12 AT shots, 4 at +4.. That's better than a warhound...
The AP ones are just as good, if you know you are going to fight troop heavy armies.. but how often do you really know?

AT all the way. You're most likely going to have plenty of AP. Also, lots of AT can help against WEs, which marines usually have a diffictul time with.

AT, AT, AT.
Tanks work best in action with infantry formations so SM have plenty of AP already, and need good AT.
Agree with Neal AT all the way.

Aha, so AT it is! Thanks for your advice! Next stop: the workbench to cut up two old landraiders!
