I've seem a lot of BA razorspam lists and it seems like most people either take multiple vindies or take 3 preds. Do you guys think 2 preds and 1 vindie is viable?

For the most part it depends on what else your opponent has to shoot at. In all honesty I think the answer to your question is probably not. Vindicators are well known, and everyone is terrified of them. It might be useful to have something absorbing all of your opponent's heavy AT for a turn or two however, but generally target saturation is what you want to keep your heavy hitters alive.


I'm just speaking from my experience as an SM player though.. don't know much about the BA

imo might as well take a predator less likely to get shot at than the vindy and can still take some pot shots with av13

Never take a lone vindicator. A single glacing or penetrating hit usually silences them.

I run 3 Vindicators and I still have issues getting a shot off sometimes.

*edit* Come to think of it, a glancing or penetrating always silences them. Shaken, stunned, weapon destroyed or wrecked and they are not firing, and immobile vindis are nigh useless (short range and no turret, the enemy just needs to move out of the narrow kill zone).
