The '''Baal Predator''' is an [[Infantry Support Tank]] of infantry support tank used only by the [[Blood Angels]] [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]] and their successor [[Chapter]]s.
The Baal Predator was developed by [[Techmarine]]s of the [[Blood Angels]] [[chapter]], and was designed to carry weapons with a high rate of fire, giving it devastating anti-infantry power and enabling it to lay down a withering hail of fire as the [[Blood Angels]] advance, scything down enemy infantry and light vehicles with terrifying efficiency.
 
The Baal Predator's turret mounts [[twin-linked]] [[assault cannon]]s. Its side sponsons mount [[heavy bolter]]s or [[heavy flamer]]s. This makes the Baal pattern highly effective at supporting close infantry assaults.
==History==

The extra space required for ammunition, enabling it to lay down a withering hail of fire as the [[Blood Angels]] advancecrew, scything down enemy infantry and light vehicles with terrifying efficiencyweapons systems removes the transport capacity.
Like The pattern has seen service by the other Predator variants, Blood Angels almost since their inception as a Legion. The STC template for the Baal is based on 's construction was recovered during the early [[Great Crusade]]. Instead of giving to the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]], the ubiquitous Blood Angels kept it, returning it to [[RhinoBaal]] chassis, but mounting extra weapons and armourwhere it remains to this day, protected in stasis as a relic of the Chapter. The extra space required for ammunition, crew, design is now only produced by the Blood Angels themselves and weapons systems removes the transport capacityby their descendant chapters.
