The News and Rumors section is all about surprises. I'd certainly hate it if we got 100 posts saying "I know something you don't know..." - malfred |

If I remember correctly the original vindicator history had is first being used by the Dark Angels against a Ork assualt. I'll have to go through the old WD to confirm I think it was around issue 120

An old White Dwarf of mine shows the vindicator as a variant of the rhino chasis which was specifically designed to bring heavy firepower into tight surroundings; i.e. city fights. The Rhino made an ideal all-terrain vehicle for close confines, and the flexibility and availability of the Rhino Chasis made a natural choice for the platform.
The Vindicator was definitely meant for upclose combat in it's initial iterations. The Cannon had a very short range in epic (I believe 18cm or something like that) and the tabletop variant was well short of a lascannon or battlecanon. Think of it as a huge Shotgun barrell with massive slugs for close-range building/fortification smashing.
