Other options include a hunter killer missile, a dozer blade, an auxiliary drive and armoured ceramite. This does make the Venator very expensive however. I think I would almost always take the lascannons over the heavy bolters as the heavy bolters are unlikely to hurt whatever you normally shoot at with the Venator variant, and lascannons add more duality to what you can do with the Battle Tank. However in the case of the battle tank it might as well then just shoot at flyers!Įither variant can take the option of having a pair of sponsons, these can be either heavy bolters or lascannons.

The extra armour is an excellent defence against having your main weapon being made less efficient or redundant respectively. Other stock equipment includes a searchlight, smoke launchers AND extra armour. However the Battle tank has a hull mounted version and the Venator has a pintle mounted variant. This model is available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Friday 30th August.The rules for this model can be found in a forthcoming Horus Heresy Book.In addition to their main armaments both of the Sicaran variants come with heavy bolters. The Sicaran Battle Tank, designed by Phil Stutcinskas, is a complete resin kit. It fires shells at far higher velocities than a standard autocannon, enabling it to successfully track and engage swift moving targets and pinpoint vulnerabilities in enemy armour with lethal precision. The primary armament of the main Sicaran variant is the sophisticated Herakles pattern accelerator autocannon, a superior rapid-firing and highly accurate weapon. The Sicaran utilises component technologies from various STC patterns to create a high-speed ‘destroyer’ tank to complement the more commonplace Predator and Land Raider designs. I will go on record saying this is the best looking tank in the 40k universe to date.įORGE WORLD: One of the most advanced armoured units in the arsenal of the Great Crusade, the Sicaran Battle Tank was the exclusive province of the Space Marine Legions.
