The Sicaran Arcus Strike Tank is one of the more unusual tanks available to the Space Marine Legions. Once the Arcus Strike Tank was one of the most advanced support platforms available to the Space Marine Legion, designed by Roboute Guilliman as a tank capable of filling multiple tactical niches at a time thanks to its wide variety of specialized warheads. However, one of the aforementioned warheads was specifically designed to destroy Battle-Automata like those used by the Mechanicum, and this quickly led them to declare the tank and its specialized ammunition an affront to the Omnissiah.

Due to their refusal to produce or maintain either the [[Arcus Launcher|Arcus Missile Launcher]]s or their more exotic warheads, these advanced support platforms have degenerated due to lack of maintenance, and their advanced armaments have been replaced with more common rotary launchers. This has done little to blunt the offensive capabilities of the Strike Tank, which is still armed with a twin rotary launcher capable of saturating an area with a hail of incendiary missiles. Now it is used by the Space Marine Chapters that retain examples of this rare pattern as a fast strike tank variant to the more traditional [[Whirlwind Artillery Tank]].

The Arcus Strike Tank looks similar to the other Sicaran-class vehicles, distinguished by its large twin rotary launcher. This weapon shares design traits with other missile launchers in the Space Marine Legions, from the man-portable versions found on Heavy Support Squads to the notorious [[Scorpius Launcher|Scorpius Missile Launcher]] found on the Whirlwind Scorpius. The mouth of each launcher contains a bundle of missiles and has two huge ammo drums.

At S 5 and AP -2, the Twin rotary missile launcher may not sound that outstanding. However, once you realize it is a [[Dakka|Heavy 2D6 weapon with a BS at 3+ (Assuming it is at full health), it becomes a beast of machine with high chances of blowing up low toughness mobs in a single strike, ignores cover, and deals mortal wounds to infantry on a 6+ for good measure.]] A Heavy 2D6 weapon not sounding good enough for you? Than maybe try out the Arcus' special ability called the '''Vanguard Strike''' which change the rotary missile launcher into a [[Anal Circumference|Heavy 4D6]] at the price of not being able to fire this weapon again until the end of your next turn.

The 30k version, on the other hand, lives up to the concept Guilliman had originally come up with thanks to its ability to fill several different battlefield roles at once. Its Arcus Launcher has a selection of four different warhead types:
*Arcus Warheads: 36", S8 AP2, Heavy 4, Terminal Tracking (re-rolls successful Jink and Cover saves), Cluster Warhead (when scoring a penetrating hit, roll on the vehicle damage table D3 times and pick the highest result). The designated anti-armor loadout, able to wreck vehicles and MEQ/TEQs alike. 
*Skyspear Warheads: 48", S7 AP3, Heavy 4, Terminal Tracking, Skyfire and Interceptor. Allows the Arcus to serve as a potent anti-aircraft platform.
*Pyrax Warheads: 36", S5 AP4, Heavy 2, Large Blast, Ignores Cover. Point at hordes and make them die.
*Neutron-Flux Warheads: 24", S7 AP4, Heavy 4, Terminal Tracking, Neutron-Flux (causes Instant Death to all models with the Cybernetica Cortex special rule). This is the one the Mechanicum threw a fit over.
