So there are the new FAQ out for most of the marine factions, and one of the largest changes was that Black Templar now get the 5th edition version of Power of the Machine Spirit, and they can take it on any vehicle. So there are several vehicles who might want to take advantage of this new ruling, so lets take a look.
1) The Vindicator with PotMS ends up at 155 pts. It can move 12" and shoot, and it can still shoot is it shaken or stunned. You pay the points for it, but I think that this is a very powerful option for the Black Templar.
2) The Predator with Auto-Las and PotMS is also 155 pts. Stay still and 2 S7 shots at a transport and 2 S9 at a Tank. You can move 6" and fire the lascannons at two targets. Personally, I think that this is a good choice as well. Expensive, but you can hurt multiple targets a turn.
While a dreadnought, razorback or rhino can take PotMS, They become very expensive for AV12-11
What do you think? Are there other vehicle configurations that might be worthwhile? What about a Las and HB pred, using PotMS to shoot at a tank and some infantry?

Oh good lord. It's a fast possessed Vindicator.
Black Templar are going to have a little resurgence for sure. I'm liking the sound of the Vindicator.

"Suffering is Faith, Faith is Strength.
Generations have suffered with the same devotion that we can offer but once. Still, our Faith leads us through these dark times like a beacon. It will guide us to triumph over these abominations. Either by breaking them upon us like waves against a limitless, golden peak or by thrusting through them like the spear of the Immortal Emperor Himself." - Cannoness Aoife, Order of the desert rose #Yesallwomen

No sane person with either BT or DA codices is going to complain about this. (If you are not sane, I'm not judging you...)

Getting the new PotMS in combination with the old purchasing ability is just insane.
and we thought that BA Vindicators were bad. now we have one immune to being stunned.

As the true TFG I am, I'm going to complain!
You're wrong, Dreadnoughts can't take PotMS!
