The '''Stalk Tank''' was a light armoured vehicle fielded by the [[Blood Pact]] during the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]]. Resembling a smaller, nimbler version of the [[Defiler]] [[Daemon Engine]] utilized by [[Chaos Space Marines]], a typical stalk tank was powered by six spider-like piston limbs, and armed with double pulse-[[laser]]s in mini-turrets,{{Fn|1}} capable of slicing infantry in two. The pulse-laser's impact blasts even produced enough overpressure to lift persons into the air.{{Fn|14a}} It was driven by a single pilot, often hard-wired into the cockpit; other variants were designed to carry battlefield [[psyker]]s into combat.{{Fn|2a}} These variants lacked weapon pods, instead featuring a glassteel bubble in which the psyker is seated, connected to hundreds of plug wires. They were used for electronic warfare, jamming [[Vox|vox-links]].{{Fn|4b}}

Cheap and quick to manufacture in large numbers, especially after the Blood Pact occupied the [[forge world]] [[Urdesh]], stalk tanks fulfilled a "niche" role on the battlefield, providing mobile support to Blood Pact infantry forces, rather than engaging enemy tanks.{{Fn|2a}} The Stalk-Tank could even climb grand staircases.{{Fn|4c}}
