Again, bump the CAF to +2 (like Neophyte bikes).

fielded as veteran bikers. A White Scars army may not have normal
veteran units. When fielded as terminators they are transported in
Land Raider Crusaders, White Scars being the only chapter besides
Black Templars to use them in large numbers. This is because the
standard Land Raider is seen as too slow for the fast-moving White
Scars units.

Remove the Bolter. The Predators have 3 weapon mounts: the turret
(Heavy flamer) and the 2 sponsons (Multi-Meltas)

I'm against this... Termies don't fit in a Rhino, IMHO...

Why Morale 2? Let's make Morale 3 as other scouts and 100 points cost!
