Tak a squadron of 3 Vindicators, plus two more separate tanks (preferably Tri-Las Predators), and a Techmarine on bike (remember to hide him behind the tanks), and a few Dreadnoughts (Ironclad would be better) in Droppods, use Ironhand CT, call it a Medusa Strike Force.

Now as long as your Techmarine lives, your tri-Vindicator units will ignore 2/3 of the vehicle damage chart, and can move 12 inch and fire, a 36 inch threat range with Apoc blast, Ignore Cover, S10 AP2 ; It will be quite hard for your opponent to hide.

Oh you have 2+ rerollable jinks? it would be a shame if some one....ignored your cover :}

Eh, 85% of the time there should be more than enough other targets for a vindicator squadron. Besides, that blast is so large you're not unlikely to catch an MC in the blast anyway and it's still a 2+ to wound and AP2. Still enough to kill a daemon prince on a failed save lol.

But it's such a weak unit vs MCs, that it's a 100% list tailoring choice.

I dunno, that seems a bit of a stretch. I get that mentioning its use versus Bike armies definitely implies the intent would be for list-tailoring, but it's not the end of the world to use them versus MCs or other heavies. It's not like you can't fire the Demolisher Cannons individually for one (or split-fire with them if you're POTMS-ing them), plus your army most likely has ready access to Grav, Psychic Shriek, and other monster-killers anyway. And how many "MC-heavy" armies are there anyway besides the Riptide Wing or Flyrants?

If anything, their main weakness would still be Deep Strike units, just because their short range forces them to take the center of the board. Flyers are still dangerous (If nothing else, EGrubs remain deadly), and the squadron is one D-shot or Weapon Destroyed away from losing its squadron capabilities.
