The Razorback is definitely cheaper at 75pts with a lascannon turret. It can also transport up to 6 models, so that's also a tactical consideration, and would make me want to equip it with extra armour and a storm bolter, driving the cost to 100pts.

As for the Predator, a lascannon turret alone drives the cost to 105pts. Throw on lascannon side-sponsons and it's now 165pts. Of course, it does have better armour than the Razorback, and it's going to cause a lot more damage, but it's got no transport capacity and you may not have the points to spare for it in a smaller game.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/981411.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/981411.page GMT
The Razorback is better if you have a tank busting squad in it or a troops choice (can take objectives), but the predator has far greater firepower/armor.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/981419.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/981419.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/981458.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/981458.page GMT

If you just want the extra shot on a sacrifice transport vehicle then rhino with an HK if the points are spare in my experience transports are the first thing people go for.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/981487.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/981487.page GMT LC are slightly better against AV12)

I haven't used predators much since my last edition chaos army. My vote goes for the razorback, which does see use in my current SM army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/982087.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/982087.page GMT
I really like the lascannon + plasma, assault cannon, and Hflamer versions. I use no rhinos in my marines as of right now, only razorbacks. Leave your heavy weapon back in your backlines, and your assault sarge + special weapon in your razorback, rush forward, wreck things. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/982095.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/982095.page GMT
I do have two, until the price goes down with the new Codex, Razorbacks. I tend to stick with the Twin Linked Lascanons as a mobile Lascanon that hits what it shoots at. They're really nice against much of the more mechanized lists. Not so nice against the hordes, like the Tyrinids I played last night. Yikes. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/982599.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/982599.page GMT
I play Black Templars and use 2-4 Razorbacks under 2000pts. We have a zest for close combat, so the thing to remember if you can/should/like to close combat is... don't stop moving! The Razorback is not a "tank". Do not sit back and expect the performance of the Predator. It has less firepower and armor SO THAT it can deliver troops. Also, the Razorback is not a Rhino. You should not just move 12" because you have troops inside. Advance and Protect your cargo... Move 12" if you have no targets, Move and Shoot if you do.

Versatility is what the Razorback provides.

If you're completely a shooty Marine army, go with the Predator.

PS- I think the Razorback v Predator discussion is more applicable than the Razorback v Rhino discussions.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/982753.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/982753.page GMT
Razor - troop carrying vehicle with moderate firepower.
Designed as a dedicated transport.

Pred - Heavy support choice, depending on upgrades it fills multiple roles, also has much better armour since its ment to be more of a battle tank.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/982761.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/982761.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/982902.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/982902.page GMT
Fluff wise, who's to say that the Razorback wasn't designed as a light Predator and given transport capability (as FW IA2 fluff might suggest)?

Note: The Israeli's use a tank called the Merkava that carries infantry.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/982995.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/257061/982995.page GMT TL LCs.

The Razorback provides the ability to make any small unit a quick response unit to protect your flanks or any breaks in your line. It gives you the ability to move around your Long Fangs and get them into strategic positions and, worst case scenario get them out of harms way.
