In the meantime, Imperial tactics sacrificed transport capacity for firepower, fielding Predators as light support vehicles alongside the Rhino APC. By the time of the Great Crusade, a great number of Standard Template Constructs had been lost, and it was another five millennia before the template for the Razorback, a vehicle dedicated to the role of infantry fighting vehicle, was discovered. The first Predators were equipped with a small passenger-carrying capacity, but during the prolonged campaigns of the Great Crusade it became obvious that this meager facility was of less importance than the ability to carry greater amounts of ammunition, especially if the vehicle in question was to be fitted with side sponsons. The Predators originally employed by the Emperor’s forces were only slightly different to those employed today, and it is a testimony to functionality of the original design that it has changed so little over the course of ten thousand years. The Predator was an ideal weapon against the Orks, who had few weapons that could penetrate its upgraded armour, and whose own armour offered no protection whatsoever against the tank’s reliable autocannon and heavy bolter armament. Where the Rhino had served Mankind well in previous conflicts with lesser races, the brutal, close quarters method of warfare favoured by the newly discovered Orks required different tactics altogether. It is theorised by those with access to the sealed archives that the Predator template was developed in response to Mankind’s earliest contacts with the Ork race. During this age the Predator was instrumental in establishing Mankind’s dominance upon an untold number of worlds. Newer designs incorporate the use of advanced composites which are lighter and stronger than traditional wood boats.įor More info about Sportsman Limited Stock Hydroplane classes please call Roger Hewson (714) 356- 1926 or click here.The Predator was first fielded during the Dark Age of Technology.
