The Sicaran Battle Tank was a type of heavy tank used by the Legiones Astartes during the Horus Heresy and Great Crusade. It was developed by the Primarchs Ferrus Manus and Roboute Guilliman alongside the Magos of the Adeptus Mechanicus. One of the more advanced weapons systems used by the Space Marines during this time, the Sicaran utilized component technologies from various STC's such as the Rhino and Land Raider to create a high-speed tank destroyer to complement the Predator and Land Raider on the battlefield.[1][2]
The Sicaran Battle Tank was primarily armed with two Herakles-pattern Accelerator Autocannons, which allowed it to rapidly fire shells at a far higher velocity than a standard autocannon. Secondary armament included sponson-mounted Lascannons. Because of its advanced weaponry, the Sicaran was capable of tracking and engaging swift moving targets and pinpoint weaknesses in enemy armor with lethal precision.[1]
