I'd generaly drop Daemonic Posession... You don't realy need to shoot that much with rhinos, and they haven't got the greatest survivability. Extra armour if you must, otherwise I'd run them bare.

Plasma pistols are also a bit of a waste. When you have a chance of killing off your chapion, its not worth it. I'd also take a fist instead of Pwep and Melta bombs.

Finally, the vindicator with daemonic posession is a much better option than the defiler. It has better armour, is easier to hide, can move with the rhinos to add fire support

Thanks, I'm about to modify. Why exactly should I drop the meltabombs? Does a powerfist have any advantage versus vehicles?

[Good_Ol_Shakey]

Less attacks with melta bombs.... Hit walkers on 6+ rather than WS....

Thanks for the help. I'm reposting this in a bit. I'm taking your advice in general but I'm doing a much different list because I realize the potential weakness of posessed squads and I want dreadnaughts damn it!
