Land Raider Terminus Ultra
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Terminus Ultra pattern of the Land Raider is the ultimate Space Marine anti-armour vehicle. It is equipped with three twin-linked lascannons and several individual lascannons. The amount of energy these weapons require means the Terminus must forego the ability to carry troops in order to power them. The Terminus pattern is deployed almost exclusively to counter enemy super heavies where its immense firepower can be used to destroy all but the largest and most powerful war engines the Space Marines may encounter, e.g. Titans,[1][2] super-heavy tanks or stompas.[3]
The Terminus Ultra is also equipped with smoke launchers, a searchlight and a machine spirit. It can mount a Hunter-Killer missile.[3]

Trivia
 |
- According to an anecdotal report by a fan who attended the Games Day 2005 event, the Steel Confessors Chapter Master Protonus used a customized Land Raider using then available 4th Edition vehicular customisation rules, which replaced the heavy bolter sponsons with lascannons, added two additional lascannon sponsons, and mounted Predator Annihilator turret with twin lascannons (see Steel Confessors#Notes). As this event would take place prior to the publishing of the Terminus Ultra in 2007's White Dwarf 334 (UK), this could feasibly have made the supposed land raider the prototype model of the vehicle by Games Workshop prior to official publishing.
