So, there has to be units already illuminating the area? By that logic, what is their maximum range?

About the same range as a heavy bolter. It becomes even longer when upgraded under the 'Teachings of Kauyon' (which focuses on infantry). The Tau Firewarrior Shas'vre (like sergeant) and Firewarrior Bodyguards summoned by the Ethereal have range that is almost as long as the Defiler's artillery cannon!

I prefer Predators when it comes to mopping up infantry and to support my Khorne Berserkers. I usually keep Defilers to make a mess out of enemy squads but that's a job for the Posessed Squad.

I never even waste my time, I just make tons of Predators.

Too bad only a maximum of two predators can be built in Dark Crusade.

I know.
Waot, then what isn't limited?
Only like one Whirlwind, two Predators, one Land Raider...
What do you use to fill the gaps?

I think Whirlwinds and artillery don't have such a limiting unit cap. Now you need a more well balanced force since vehicles are leaning to a support role (at least there aren't anymore Fire Prism spam tactics). More emphasis on infantry.

Ah, I gotcha.
I remember in the original DoW you could just have two forces, one of Predators, one of Infantry, and basically move through the map and rape.

Yeah, I still remember the old DoW...Still need the original DoW to play the Chaos, Space Marines, Orks and Eldar for DC multiplayer games (it'll automatically ask for the cd key).
Using cloaked cultists to an enemy base and deepstriking horrors and obliterators never gets old. ;D
