What warhammer 40k heay support option should I get?

Im new to the game of Warhammer 40k and most of my army is composed of infantry and a dreadnaught and rhino. so what heavy support option should I get: Predator, land raider or a devestator squad or maybe even another dreadnaught.

In many ways, it doesn't really matter. All of the Heavy Support choices would be excellent additions to your Space Marine army as it stands. Personally, I favour the Land Raider. With its combination of anti-armour and anti-infantry weaponry and ability to transport a whole squad of marines straight into combat, it's the assault tank par excellence.



That said, I've faced many a predator and vindicator in battle and wished that I had one with which to respond. The vindicator's short range makes it strictly an infantry-support vehicle, whilst a predator can operate independently as a tank hunter - but nothing says mass-annihilation like a S10 AP2 large blast template.



Devastators are a good, flexible choice. But I have found them to be most effective when given a specialist role - anti-armour or anti-infantry, rather than a mix of both - plus a full ten marines to give tactical flexibility and survivability to the heavy weapons; and, ideally, a Rhino, too. All of this means that they might be best kept back for armies of 2000 points or more.



The only bad choice, I'd say, was a second dreadnought. This should only be a realistic option if going for a drop-pod assault army, which gives you vital firepower and combat power straight into the enemy lines. In a straight foot-slogger army, dreadnoughts are too vulnerable and often constitute little more than free Kill Points.
