09.09.2022seems strange they are buffing all these og units, happy mind as they needed it.
Shizuo Heiwajima
06.09.2022T8 predators is terrible, the leman russ used to be distinguished because of it's T8, now T8 is everywhere and they're even starting to hand out T9
Paul Wootton
06.09.2022With this and with the Land Raider’s buffs, I’m hoping this means we can finally take Primaris in Land Raiders
RaksoMan93
06.09.2022I’ll imagine if orks battlewagon will get T8 or T9 with ard’ case if next time they get codex
Andrei Draguloiu
06.09.2022Hey man great video. Are u still doing the full rewiev of the new chaos codex? like u did with the other recent codexes?
Massive Mike
06.09.2022YES!!!

06.09.2022Most people around here might not have heard of it, BUT this game was great around the 2000s. No super duper oversized killerbots and -tanks dominating everything. No Space marine Captains worth a whole army, killing off gazillions of enemies with one blow. Yeah you already had land riders, but they were rarely seen. No shit! Imagine that: you go to your game store and meet an opponent. Just like usual, everyone has a space marine army, as every other army only looks good, but is shit rulewise. So you get your (space marine) army on the table and… wooooah!!! no gigantic murder bots!!! mostly infantry!!! AWESOME!!! Yeah, this was fun. I loved that. I stopped playing the day a dude showed up on a tournament with 3 Killertanks and a General only and dominated EVERYTHING!
PrimaFacie
06.09.2022About time!!!
mecra
06.09.2022Yay. more dunking on Knights!
Imper
06.09.2022I love my deimos pattern predator, its just so bad =::(
Richard_N
06.09.2022I like the changes since it makes you really think about what your army needs.
Emperor Kraglint
03.09.2022Sad about autocannons, worried for my leman russes, Emperor lemme smash
Mia Fillene
03.09.2022Wow. Making firstborn relevant again! And of course, still no IG codex. Plenty of buffs tho'.
Dio Brando
03.09.2022Why do GW hate the Predator Destructor?
Rufus-T-Firefly
03.09.2022Please let this apply to the castigator too!
John Kolbas
03.09.2022great unclean ones are still t7
Nick paddy
03.09.2022Across all factions, things like this should have identical stat lines, ones gets updated, so they all do. They get balanced via faction specific wargear and points value.
Sellers Burgener
03.09.2022I play Iron Warriors and I was so bitter about the loss of viable tanks in the game. But with the Land Raider and Vindicator buffs, with the new Kratos, its a great time to be a tank Warsmith. The Predator seems okay. Nostalgia really drives me to get one but I think it might be a bit lackluster still. Maybe if models didn't cost so much. I just think the money is better spent on one of the others. It's a shame about the autocannon turret because that's the one I wanted.
Spacefrisian
03.09.2022Nothing has been fixed as long as massed low strength fire power can wound it.
Maybe next edition they change the brackets to just have 2 with the lower values dropping toughness so low strength can wound it instead. Paired with the return of a strength/toughness chart.
McPanzer
03.09.2022I comment to appease the algorithm. Thanks Auspex!
Rapster102
03.09.2022are the lascannon sponsons soulshatter (and Dd6+2) or just regular lascannons?
Lite Ηοπ
02.09.2022Does this apply to death guard predators 😁😁?
Matthew heather
02.09.2022Big guns never tire !
Homer
02.09.2022Necrons d6 damage and shots would be nice if they also went to d3 plus 3
TheKrispiestKreme
02.09.2022So you think all lascannons are getting this treatment? Making devastators/havocs/ hellbrutes/dreadnaughts a better Las profile?
Wyvern Fox
02.09.2022So do death guard get the updated pred or is this just for chaos specific?
Master Thnag
02.09.2022Predators were supposed to be more efficient battle tanks than what was in use during HH which is why they became more prevalent. Being T7 was just fine. Making everything T8 has really made it not special anymore.
Maybe Warhounds, and other titans should be bumped to 9 or 10.
Night Magnus
02.09.2022Honestly, they should adopt the AOS and Apocalypse concept for wound rolls, where they're both inbuilt into weapon profiles and split between Versus infantry and Versus vehicles. Give the SUPER HEAVIES a -1 to wound.
Terminator UK
02.09.2022Very nice! Really wanted to get some Predators for my Chaos force for nostalgia reasons but this makes it compelling now!
Poor krak missiles – absolutely rubbish at anti-armour duty these days! Would only wound these on a 4+ and then it gets a 4+ save with AoC !
Arkslippy junior
02.09.2022I bought a second hand predator a while back since it looked cool and came with a dreadnought
Looks like it might get some use now but I have the bal pattern with the flamers so I hope my opponent just doesn't look too close at it
Mathias K
02.09.2022"Chaos Marine players probably won't feel too bad about this". Thanks, this gave me a good laugh.
Jprizzal Gaming
29.08.2022I give up, a tiny predator tank has the same toughness as a knight, and can damn near kill one on it own too. Why have a knight army, just give the poor guys a 2+ save.
Justin Erickson
29.08.2022Gotta simp to all those Poster boy Speth Marine players. Open your wallets just long enough 4 GW to make that $$ 4 them to nerf them again.
Trojan Hatchet
29.08.2022Do we still think carnifex points interested are fine ?
Peter S
29.08.2022Problem is Chaos codex doesn't account for AoC so we might be seeing some wild combinations for a while 😆
Hootie1980
29.08.2022For the fluffy subculture people of Warhammer, if I’m making a Word Bearers army, does a predator sound fluffy for them or should I just get demons and demon engines?
Asterix Codix
29.08.2022Iron Warriors Armoured Company, anyone?
Pastalegion
29.08.2022space marine players wondering why everyone hates them.
the attention isn't on them for 2 seconds(keep in mind that gw spent the first half of June exclusively on space marines with the HH) and they start crying about how they need a new codex…..guard players and necrons(if we want to talk about 2nd codexes specifically) say hello.
dengodengo0987654321
29.08.2022cries in T7 defiler and forgefiend
UnseamlyTangent
29.08.2022I like how this game is so broken rules wise the same army codex (space marine) has to be released twice in one edition.
Robert Cullen
29.08.2022Fun fact: the predator used to be a troop transporter. It was a marine IFV hence the autocannon.
karrick
27.08.2022The only predator that needs a buff is my beloved flamer baal predators
Dark O-man
27.08.2022I think loyalist tanks should stay weaker for as long as Chaos was 1W
owen thomas
27.08.2022Finally a meer 19 years later purchasing that predictor my mate lost the sud weapons for off him is paying off 👍
Alex Minns
27.08.2022Will Thousand Sons vehicles be updated with these changes too? I
Forrest Ray
27.08.2022Damn, was hoping that they spared the buff. Plays T-Sons and was rolling with 3 war dogs with the auto-cannons, but with the CP changes been looking for something to replace my long-rang anti-fire power.
Avash5s a
27.08.2022How would a pred be t8 while my leviathan dread is t7
shiftandrew
27.08.2022still wayyyy too expensive for a predator annhilator, esp those 20 pt sponsons, yikes
Rony
27.08.2022Are other sub-factions getting these? Or is it only for chaos undivided and loyalists? I would like for my dust nerds to have a use for the predator
Lunettes fumées
27.08.2022Sometimes i wonder… i understand that sometime you have to do strange things for the sake of balance, but same tank chassis should have the same defensive capabilities, so why not increase the good 'ol rhino to T8?
