	Given that one of it's creators (Guilliman) is still alive and the Sicaran was made from the best bits of at least two completely different STC vehicles, the Imperium could still do that to gain a huge advantage over their enemies. Sure enough, the Primaris Marines ended up getting a new [[Astraeus Super-Heavy Tank\|superheavy ripoff of this tank]]. Still, we wish Games Workshop took the Sicaran as an inspiration for future Imperium tanks, making the metal boxes float again is ok and all, but sloped armor would be a great technological recovery too. Or just accepting that playing Legos with Imperial tech is totally not-heresy because it works and so the Machine Spirits must be cool with it.

	The '''Sicaran Battle Tank''' was an awesome heavy tank that was used by the [[Space Marine\|Space Marine Legions]] near the end of the [[Great Crusade]] and during the [[Horus Heresy]]. Created by the combined brainstorming of [[Ferrus Manus]], [[Roboute Guilliman]] and some [[Adeptus Mechanicus\|Adeptus Mechanicus Magos members]] (with the help of some elements derived from [[Rhino]] and [[Land Raider]] [[STC\|STC's]]), the Sicaran was designed to be a fast moving tank hunter that would compliment both the [[Predator Tank]] and [[Land Raider]]. In fact, it was so good that [[Horus]] himself made sure that a large number of these tanks were at his and the [[Chaos Space Marines\|Traitor Legion's]] disposal before he got on with his [[Horus Heresy\|rebellion]].

	Armed with two Herakles [[Accelerator Cannon]]s, two sponson-mounted [[Lascannons]] (as well a forwards mounted [[Heavy Bolter]]), nicely armored, swift for its size, and equipped with systems that allows it to hit fast moving objects and right where it would hurt the enemy most, the Sicaran Battle Tank was a valuable asset for the Marine Legions.

	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.

	Retrofitted to allow the Sicaran hull to carry heavier firepower, the Omega is a formidable tank hunter. Basically, another tank-destroying version, the Omega is armed with a pair of massive Plasma Weapons called the [[Omega Plasma Array]]. These cannon are fed power by massive arrays of tightly-bound cables and both feature their own ammo feed, as well as 6 plasma flasks. They are powerful enough to contain the firepower that is able to threaten anything from the humble [[Rhino]] to even [[Titan (Warhammer 40,000)\|Titans.]]		Retrofitted to allow the Sicaran hull to carry heavier firepower, the Omega is a formidable tank hunter.

	Like all plasma weaponry, it’s pretty potent against heavy infantry too – if you’re struggling with [[Terminators]] or even [[Primarchs]], this may well be just what you need to take them down.

	Its simplified, some might say 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 Worlds became isolated by war and mistrust at the height of the Horus Heresy.

	Despite the prospect on having a duel wielded heavy plasma cannons as a symbol of unrelenting carnage. The reality is that the rules are incredibly...should I say, ''underwhelming''? It is still a good tank don't get us wrong, but with this crunch, you might as well get the Sicaran Venator in order to sufficiently punch through armor or even better, get a fucking [[Macharius Heavy Tank#Macharius Omega\|Macharius Omega]] to turn Titans into Swiss cheese.

	The selling point is, of course, that you get two tanks in one that is somewhat worse at both roles. So, it depends on how many tanks you want or can field.
