I dont have 40 cultists or this many predators. I just wanted feedback on this thought experiment.

cad1
tax@160

3 predator, side lc sponsons@115x3=345
total=505

cad2
same as cad 1
total=505

cad3
same as cad 1
total=505

benchmark: 1515pts. How to cut 15pts? Really cant. 1 pred can choose side sponson heavy bolters instead of lc.

break down,
60 useless cultists
3 useless sorc

9 predators. 9 tl ac turrets pumping out 18 ac shots. 16 side lc sponsons. 2 hb side sponsons pumping out 6 hb shots. Biggest problem with preds is that some times not all 3 guns can get LoS on a target. what do you guys think of this av13 wall? Is lrbt better?

Lrbt probably does it better (chaos can do its own version cheaper with the renegades and heretics, if you're that way inclined.

Apart from that, you have zero in the way of anti-air; a heldrake would give you a bit of variety, at least. It also looks like a bit of a boring list to play - very little objective claiming potential, everything sits and shoots (preds) or gets shot (cultists).

Why must I always choose beween certain death and probable death.

Anything str 5+ in cc is going to wreck your vehicles.

When in doubt poke it with a stick!

They have to get past the bubble wrap of cultists to hit rear armor 10. Also they would only glance on 5 and pen on 6 at s5. I had kb b4 and I would always charge with them into vehicles and they would fail to do anything but a glance or 2. A krak grenade is better. Also spawns are good at eating rhinos.

also thank you crystal maze for reminding me of anti air.

350pt expansion to bring 1500 to 1850:

3 adl+qg @100x3=300 (1 per each cad) What should I do with 50 pts?

Put the las cannons back on the predator! What should you do with 35pts? Havoc launchers?

Just a note - your initial list says the predators have TL AC - which they don't - it's just 18 regular auto cannon shots.
