Editing Rhino Transport (section)

==Other Rhino variants==
Because the Rhino is an incredibly easy vehicle to both make, maintain, and customize, the Imperium has developed several vehicles based on the Rhino chassis, though nearly all of them are exclusive to the Spehs Mahrens.

===[[Predator Tank]]===
The Predator tank is the Space Marine's standard battle tank that uses an up-armored Rhino chassis, but has no more transport capabilities as its weapons and ammunition take up the space. Instead, it has a turret-mounted autocannon and 2-side mounted Heavy-Bolter sponsons and even heavier armor. The autocannon and Sponsons can be swapped for lascannons for tank-hunting though. There's also the [[Blood Angels]]' custom version called the ''Baal Predator'', which mounts a twin-linked assault cannon or a flamestorm cannon for a turret.

In earlier editions (around 4th) the traditional all-rounder of the Predator was the Twin-linked lascannon turret and H.Bolter side-sponsons. Now, with the changes in the lascannon's stats and price, it's now reversed with the autocannon turret and lascannon sponsons, as this is now the cheaper option. If you use the 4th edition combo now, you're probably better off with a [[Land Raider]]. It's always been possible to go all-in (4 lascannons or autocannon with bolters) but rarely wise.

===[[Razorback Transport]]===
A heavier Rhino that eschews some personnel-carrying capacity for heavier weaponry. More expensive, but it can now mount shinier bits like Multi-Meltas and lascannons, which means it can act as a useful close-support unit as well as a transport, if the Predator is your Main Battle tank, the Razorback is your light Infantry Fighting Vehicle.

Particularly useful for marine [[Devastator Squad]]s which provides them with much needed mobility and can provide effective support for them as their weapons can match the range devastators typically fight from.

===[[Whirlwind]]===
The Whirlwind artillery tank is the Spehss Mahrens' primary artillery piece. It can't exactly contest with the IG's artillery in terms of power, but it is more mobile than most of them. It's optimized for screwing over infantry, it can either fire an AP4 shell for anyone in the open, or another one that ignores cover saves.

===[[Vindicator]]===
Probably the only good thing [[Roboute Guilliman]] did during the Horus Heresy is inventing the Vindicator. The Vindicator is the nightmare of every other thing out there. The Vindicator mounts a Demolisher Cannon, which is basically a S10 AP2 pieplate shotgun and coupled mad-tough frontal armor.....with a fucking dozer blade that makes it look cool and makes sure that even difficult terrain can't stop it from fucking someone's day up. In short, think of it as a battering ram ... With a Demolisher cannon. If something expensive gets in it's firing range, it's 98% guaranteed dead, or at least messed up badly. With 6th ed rules any vehicle even touched by the deathpie template gets the full brunt of fuck, instead of just half.

It's even scarier when it's with Chaos version, [[DISTRACTION CARNIFEX|throw in a havoc launcher and daemonic possession and then watch your opponent devote retarded amounts of firepower to keep the Khorne-incarnate rape-engine down.]]

===[[Space Marine Stalker|Stalker]]===
A new Pattern, introduced in the 6th edition codex for the [[Space Marines]]. Looks like an overhauled [[Whirlwind]], but replacing the Missile launcher with Anti-air cannons and MOAR plates, making it a Flak tank of sorts. Can target multiple enemy targets firing normally, or one target with twin-linked.

===[[Space Marine Hunter|Hunter]]===
Anti-aircraft vehicle. It kills flyers by pelting them with dead people.

===[[Sabre Tank Hunter|Sabre]]===
The Sabre is an old pattern used during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy. It is basically a self-propelled tank destroyer that usually uses either a hull-mounted lascannon or autocannon. Its nothing really fancy. Its a simple Rhino with a gun, with the transport ability removed as the passenger compartment is used to store ammo, or in the lascannon's case: the generators responsible for powering the weapon.

Think of a Jagdpanther and you're pretty close.

===[[Immolator]]===
A Sisters of Battle only variant, the Immolator mounts a pair of Heavy Flamers standard, but can switch it for a pair of Heavy Bolters or a pair of Multi-Meltas, thereby completing the Holy Trinity of Bolter/Flamer/Melta. Formerly a go-to unit for anyone playing Witch Hunters, but when the Inquisition got split off and Sisters got their own separate army, the points got jacked up and it stopped being as popular. It came back in force with the 6e digital update, with a points decrease, every unit in the army having easy access to it and a free upgrade to multi-melta.

It's worth pointing out that it, like the Sister Rhino variant you can build from the same box (protip: The difference is whether the glass canopy on top is open or closed) are absolutely gorgeous models. But then, having gorgeous models has never been an issue for Sisters.

===[[Exorcist]]===
The Sister's primary artillery piece and in true Sister fashion it's a tasty blend of awesome looking and insane. Similar to the Whirlwind, except it replaces the regular old rocket launcher with a missile spewing pipe organ. However, due to the frosty relations between the Ecclesiarchy and the Mechanicus, they don't get as much proper maintenance as they should, resulting in an appropriately moody machine spirit that might decide to sulk and only spit out one missile... or go mad with battle fury and unload a whopping six onto your enemy's face.

===[[Castigator Tank]]===
Another Sisters of Battle exclusive variant and a sorely needed one, it bridges the gap between a Predator and a [[Leman Russ Battle Tank]], being armed with a [[Battle Cannon]] for some heavily armored firepower that the Sisters lack. It also comes with [[Heavy Bolter|Heavy Bolters]] in its hull and sponsons for some added [[dakka]], a pintle mounted Storm Bolter, and may swap its Battle Cannon for twinlinked autocannons like a Leman Russ Exterminator or equip a Hunter-Killer Missile.

===[[Grav-Rhino]]===
This Rhino was specially equipped with grav-plates similar to the [[Land Speeder]] and further enhanced with technology reverse-engineered from Eldar transports, allowing them to hover over the ground and fly to a limited extent. Only the [[Adeptus Custodes]] and the Sisters of Silence have been known to use them, and even then they have never been deployed since the Siege of Terra. It's been theorized that they were meant to carry troops to and from the Imperial Webway that the Emperor was attempting to construct.
