Hello
1 predator destructor and a five man terminator squad or,
1 land speeder storm and a ten man tactical squad.

Which one of these options would better compliment my current army: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/342009.page

My army is geared toward ork hunting, kinda.

I would say predator and the tactical squad, with flamer

Moving to Tactics.

At 1500 your army list already has a good number of scoring units. Tacs & scouts are not very killy, so you're usually better off not putting too many points into them. The terminators are probably a better choice.

Termies w/ ss & Thunder hammers= Emperor like godliness

so what would be better to put in a land raider?
Normal terminators or assault terminators?
I plan on driving them up and hitting the enemy where it hurts.

assault terminators. hands down.

And mix the squad to have Lightning Claws and Thunder Hammers/Shields.

Pred termy option definately.

And assault termies in a landraiders because they can charge as soon as they disembark.

Pred + termis.

I use 5 termis in my BA army... they have yet to fail me in a game, and they will absolutally dominate whatever they touch.

I'd say Termies,a SS makes thme almost unkillible.

I wouldn't say they are almost unkillable. My termies last night had one remaining at the end of the game, 3 of the casualties were from lasguns.

That being said, their kill total was: 1 bane wolf (14 pen hits, no explosions... only wrecked lol), one leman russ executioner (tried to road block my LR from getting to his objective), a disabled LRBT (used that assault movment to contest his objective), and one full IG infantry squad (tried to assault my last model off his objective yet still lost combat and ran off the board).

So yeah... They are kinda good.

I run a 10-man regular Terminator squad just because.

An undamaged squad. He had his platoon split up rather than blobbed. The rest of the platoon (3 squads) got nuked by the librarian who split off to use avenger, and the ML dev squad from maximum range firing 4 frags which got 15 or so wounds(he was bunched up because of restrictive terrain). No commisar in the squad that attacked, he was in the one that got nuked buy the librarian (he didn't have the points for a commisar for everybody, if it was kill points he would have blobbed up, but it was objectives instead). His command squad had straken, but it got shot up by the LR crusader, and straken got sniped by a lascannon razor back.
