The Predator is the main battle tank of the Space Marines. It is a STC varient of the Rhino APC. It has good frontal armour, but is more lacking in side and rear armour, on the assumption that usually the only side the enemy will see will be the front.
It can be built in one of two ways, either as the Predator Destructor pattern, with an Autocannon as the turret armament or as the Predator Annihilator pattern, with a twin-linked Lascannon as its turret armament. The Blood Angels Chapter of the Space Marines also field a variant, the 'Baal Class' Predator, with twin-linked Assault Cannons as the turret armament.
The Predator can also have sponson weapons, either Heavy Bolters or Lascannons, or in the case of the 'Baal Class', Heavy Flamers.
All Adeptus Astartes Chapters make use of the Predator, as do their fallen brothers, the Chaos Space Marines.
