The '''Sicaran Arcus Strike Tank''' is an artillery variant of the Sicaran. Once the Arcus was one of the most advanced platforms available to the [[Space Marine Legions]], but for unknown reasons the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] has declared that the design is an insult against the [[Omnissiah]] and refuses to produce or repair such vehicles. Without the specialized knowledge of the Mechanicum, the advanced launchers of the Arcus have slowly broken down and have since been replaced with more common rotary launchers. In addition, its stocks of its rare warheads have dwindled. However the Arcus is still used by some [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]]s as a fast strike tank, racing it forwards to saturate a target area with incendiary devices and using its renowned speed to escape unscathed. This enables the Chapter to clear otherwise redoubtable bunkers and fortresses with brutal efficiency.{{Fn|7}}

Retrofitted to allow the Sicaran hull to carry heavier firepower, the Omega is a formidable tank hunter. It utilizes the speed provided by the Sicaran’s engines to apply overwhelming short range firepower in battle, racing forwards to ambush and obliterate the lumbering siege tanks of enemy columns. Its primary weapon is the devestating '''Omega Plasma Array''', which consists of two enormous [[Plasma Cannon]]s.{{Fn|8}}
Its simplified but perhaps crude systems are all capable of being produced by the lesser forges attached to many [[Space Marine]] strongholds, allowing them to replace losses of more complex vehicles even as the various [[Forge World]]s became isolated by war and mistrust at the height of the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|8}}
