Your favorite chaos predator parts?

Please to be seeing these interesting Chaos Predators that I got from an inspired trade. I found some components inspired, others sadly derivative.

What's your favorite turret? Hull? Sponson? Tracks sets?

I like the rather tall-and-fat turret (F), the interesting but befuddling sponsons (A) (twin-linked whats on those things), the hulls are all pretty decent, but the tracks are just over-the-top.

It's too bad the GW artists couldn't come up with better design elements for chaos armor than just skullz-n-spikes. The 8 pointed chaos start is decent, but hardly original.

Agreed. I'm so sick of seeing spikes and skulls on Chaos models that I refuse to add them to my conversions. I'm more interested in conversions that take them off than I am in ones that add them. I think that the current style makes them look more Orky than mutated.

Hey, now that's an idea.  If they had just re-released these, I could set my Orks up w/ some awesone new rides!

I got one of each set of parts and made all my C/Preds different, during the E40K period ! :)

That hull (G) pleases my eyes best of them.
Spikes are okay, but skulls are bit boring.

Ah, thanks!

One design element I do like on the E40K chaos vehicles are the little pyramid doo-dads.

Yes, I like Tracks 1 & 2 and all the Hulls & Turrets. Turret F goes best with Hull H. I like the Laser Sponsons best ... firepower ! :D  There was a plasma gun sponson too. And another set of tracks for the Rhino had spikes all around.  Got'm all ! Posted pics before ! :D

I'll have to check my Preds to see what I got.  Sadly my L-Raiders set sail to a place far-far away.
