I was given most of a motorized divisions TO&E including the entire BFV
complement. They look very good on the table with the Space Marine
figs, so I have been using them instead of the rhino plastic. The
rhinos have been undergoing modifications to whirlwind and predator
status.

I have also found that the A-1 Abrhams tanks make good predators(though
without the sponsons). Also the bridge layers make for interesting
scenarios (they knocked down the bridge sir...well call in the engineers
:-) ).

Yes, the micro armor has undergone some price hiking over the last few
years, but the line has many vehicles that work for almost any army. I
particularly like the engineering tanks based on the M-60 chassis. Dozer
blades and tank guns go so well together.
