Not a whole lot to say on this one, I think. I just didn't have enough guns to take down so many dudes.
I think the predator wasn't a great addition to my list. I don't need single fire AP -3 weapons when going up against 100 infantry.

But either way, the point was to show off the BA stuff and I think we definitely saw that shine. His 5 man squads were cutting through Deamon Princes like butter. If Abe had taken half his infantry out and replaced it with some tanks or heavy support or whatever, I think his list would have been even stronger. He didn't need that many men, but it definitely worked for him.

I haven't been able to watch any of the games so far this week, but just from what I've seen of the codex, it seems like the old way of blunting the Emperor's Berserkers still holds up; try to ensure that you don't get into CC with them.

With the Red Thirst (which I think is an awesome rule, btw), you either need to have some dross units in your army to feed to them and slow them up some or hope you have enough anti-marine shots (and maneuverability) to thin them out at range.
