I need a new ship to do Blood Raider anomalies/plexes in.

I can fly any Amarr subcap ships perfectly, except paladin (can train into one fairly quick though).

I dont have any capital skills and I don't have an alt readily available for dualboxing so the ship has to be able to handle the anomalies solo.

I have a bit north of a billion to spend on it and have been looking at a Nightmare.
The damage output is really nice but the tanking bit worries me since I am going up against EM/Thermal which is not optimal for shield tanks...can't afford billion ISK class shield boosters either...

I have heard a lot of nasty stuff about Blood Raiders neuts as well and is a bit worried about cap issues.
I have Amarr BS5 and Caldari BS4 so I can fly it fairly efficiently.

Maybe the nightmare needs a logistics alt to really shine? I actually have an alt that could be in a remote repping/active tanking Dominix(without drone skills...) in a month or so if that would help significantly, but if I can avoid dualboxing that would be nice.

Have also been looking at Armageddon Navy Issue or Apocalypse Navy Issue. A Paladin is not totally out of the question if it is the obvious choice.

I am a bit new to this whole making ISKies in null-sec affair so not sure what to expect, just that I would be really disappointed if anything less than 35 million ticks shows up in the wallet when doing anomalies, when in a billion+ ship.
