- A viable tank in comparison to the Leman Russ.The Predator exchanges the long range of the Leman Russ, some armor and the range on its autocannon in exchange for faster movement speed and two long range Lasercannons.
- Generally the extra speed, weaponry and slightly cheaper cost of the Predator makes it a more viable battle tank than the Leman Russ. However in the campaign you don't get access to Predators until far later in the campaign.
