In a nutshell, is it worth it to take the demonic possession upgrade on your transport vehicles. Why or why not? I'm curious on peoples thoughts on both taking it for the land raider and for the rhino.

for rhino's no, you want them moving, shooting's less useful, if you take anything go for extra armour.

On land raiders i find it usefull, as they need to move and shoot, and the twin linked also balances out the -1bs.

I also often take it on my vindi, never used a Pred though.

I always take Daemonic possession on my rhinos and vindicators. Otherwise, they're just too vulnerable.

I'd say yes. As an opponent I've always found it incredibly frustrating that even after all the trouble that I've gone through to get to the damage table they have every chance of completely ignoring the result.

It ensure that, short of being immobilized, you'll never get your vehichles cuaght out in the open with their pants down. For Rhinos and Vehichles with blasts (Vindies) a decrease in BS is well worth it.

I don't feel it is.
The upgrade is 75% of the cost of the rhino, hell just get another one.

The only thing DP ignores that is useful is Shaken Results...and that's only 1/6 of the results on the table.

Hell no IMO.

If the rhino is stunned, I generally have a back up so they get out and hop onto that one.
Hell, either they stay put or they get out and move into cover.

/shrug, I've never had problems with upgradeless rhinos, I've never wanted Extra armor or Daemonic possession.

If I had to choose, I'd rather get extra armor...even that is IMO questionable.

Never. The only one I would ever consider getting DP for would be the vindicator.

If i am DP it is scary. Vindicators do not have to roll to hit so IMO is worth it. You only have to roll for scatter and an extra inch of scatter doesnt seem to be that big of a deal to me. Rhinos no not worth it like stated before should be moving. LRs mmm i would say i guess but dont like to put more points into an already expensive model but thats just my preference. I dont use anything other than those three tanks so cant comment on the rest.

No, don't take it. It can be beneficial for Landraiders, but only if you are carrying expensive cargo and you want the extra assurance it'll get there. It makes Rhinos way too expensive, though.
