===Sicaran Venator=== [[File:Sicaran_Venator.jpg|250px|thumb|Venator. When a standard Sicaran won't cut it.]] The '''Venator''' (that's Latin for "Hunter"). Swapping its [[Accelerator Cannon]]s and [[Heavy Bolter]] for a [[Neutron Laser Projector]], this Sicaran variant was even more efficient in its role as tank destroyer. The lack of a turret (which is standard for the vanilla Sicaran Battle Tank) meant that the vehicle had to turn its whole self to face an enemy (which could be fatal when it comes to fighting enemies from multiple directions, especially when taking into account that the reactor for the neutron laser was highly unstable and tended to explode violently if the vehicle was heavily damaged). To understand why it's so good at [[RAPE| vehicle rape]] you only have to look at it's 8th edition stats, a Heavy 3, S 12, AP -4 D6 that can move and shoot with no penalties (all its Heavy weapons can), and if it doesn't outright kill the vehicle in question, that vehicle then suffers a -1 to its shooting rolls until the end of the Sicaran owner's next turn basically letting you bully superheavy vehicles into submission, provided you can get close enough. During the [[Great Crusade]], its advanced Neutron Laser was specially designed to provide the Legiones Astartes with superior firepower, enabling it to destroy any and all xenos threats that might be encountered by the expanding armies of the nascent Imperium. However, by the time of the [[Horus Heresy]], the Venator proved just as capable as fucking over Imperium vehicles as well. Even despite limited production capabilities and rarity during those times, the Venator proved just too tough and valuable for both sides to just be destroyed. Hence, Venators can still be found in the 41st millennium even to this day (Although they have most likely been mothballed by now). Anyways, the vehicle can also be armed with a single pintle-mounted, remote-controlled Heavy Bolter to engage infantry that gets too close and two sponson-mounted weapons, which can be either Heavy Bolters or Lascannons. The Sicaran Venator can also be outfitted with the standard Hunter-Killer Missile Launcher, just in case if you want even more anti-armor buffs, Extra Armour Plating, a Dozer Blade, an Auxiliary Drive system, a Searchlight, or Smoke Launchers.
