I prefer (as I think I have mentioned once) to support Land Raider detachments with Predators. Not only are
the models very cool, but they are much better at soaking up fire power than attack bikes; their armour value
of six means that every hit they take is one less detroyed Land Raider. I like my Armour detachments to have
high armour values... Predators are also just as fast as attack bikes, and have better range.
