The '''Sicaran Venator''' is a variant of the Sicaran Battle Tank introduced towards the end of the [[Great Crusade]], and saw extensive use in the opening battles of the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|14c}} Purpose-built as a tank destroying vehicle, this pattern replaced the turret-mounted accelerator cannon of the Sicaran with a fearsome center-line mounted [[Neutron Laser Projector]]. When coupled with the Sicaran Venator's ferocious speed, the neutron laser is an ideal anti-tank weapon, slicing apart armoured hulls with casual ease and blasting internal compartments and crew with atomic fire.{{Fn|14c}}

The '''Sicaran Punisher''' is a variant of the Sicaran Battle Tank that came into general use amongst the various [[Space Marine Legion]]s in the final days of the [[Great Crusade]], however the [[Punisher Rotary Cannon]] it mounts has a far older history. Originally mounted on the now rare [[Cerberus Heavy Tank Destroyer|Cerberus pattern main battle tank]]s, the punisher had established a reputation as a deadly tool in the eradication of massed conscript infantry or hordes of swarming [[xenos]] creatures, limited only by its relatively short range and prodigious appetite for munitions. Married to the Sicaran hull, where the impressive speed of that vehicle effectively negated the short range of the weapon, and the complex feed assemblies developed as part of the various Terran accelerator cannon, the punisher is once again in widespread use among the Legions, though now it is employed against the very warriors it was intended to protect.{{Fn|6}}

The '''Sicaran Arcus Strike Tank''' is an artillery variant of the Sicaran. As part of a program initiated by the [[Primarch]] [[Roboute Guilliman]], seeking to grant a Legion strike force access to highly specialised weapon systems without the need to employ numerous vehicles for each role, the Sicaran hull was chosen to mount the newly developed twin [[Arcus Launcher]]. Capable of deploying a wide range of warheads, each crafted to fulfil a distinct tactical niche, the Arcus was intended to become the cornerstone of a new tactical doctrine the Master of [[Ultramar]] had begun to formulate, allowing small [[Legiones Astartes]] forces to operate without extensive support and in smaller numbers than during the [[Great Crusade]].{{Fn|14b}}

Retrofitted to allow the Sicaran hull to carry heavier firepower, the Omega is a formidable tank hunter. It utilizes the speed provided by the Sicaran’s engines to apply overwhelming short range firepower in battle, racing forwards to ambush and obliterate the lumbering siege tanks of enemy columns. Its simplified but perhaps 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 World]]s became isolated by war and mistrust at the height of the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|8}}
