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 [[Primarch]]s [[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.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}
The Sicaran Battle Tank was primarily armed with two Herakles-pattern [[Accelerator Autocannon]]s, which allowed it to rapidly fire shells at a far higher velocity than a standard autocannon. Secondary armament included sponson-mounted [[Lascannon]]s. 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.{{Fn|1}}
