I am totally lost and nub face apparently. What is a Dakka Predator tank? Is it SM? Weapons? Special? why does everyone loveit?

**Corpsesarefun**

A dakka predator is something you should report to yakface or any other mod ASAP, do not approach the individual or arrange to meet him/her...

OH!

**nickt2245**

Dakka Pred with HB sponsons and Autocannon Maybe even a storm bolter

It is the Opposite to the "Crapuseless Predator" which is OVER 9000 Points for 3 Lascannons

The Dakka predator can be identified by the totally pointless ! after his screen name.

I believe that the Dakka Predator is what the ancient people of Internets call the monster known as Gwar.

As said its a pred tank using auto cannon and heavy bolter sponsons.

Dakka name comes from the type of weapon i assume (Hvy bolter being a rapid fire and autocannon being semi rapid firing)

Both are Heavy Weapons....

I think what you mean is the Volume of shots, 6 S5 and 2 S7 shots are not too shabby for 80 points or so

**warpcrafter**

I have to agree with Gwar! in this instance. It's the only thing in my Plague Marines army that is not either pointless or overcosted.

What? Nobody expected this?

I meant in the fluff sense, as in the guns firing a hail of shots not the tabletop sense of heavy guns or rapid fire rule for guns like bolters

A Dakka predator are those of us who are not allowed to be within 500' of a school.

I thought dakka predators weren't allowed within 500 feet of dakkadakka.com's server.

Gwar! said that if I told my parents Santa wouldn't bring me any presents this year.
