When it comes to modifications to the chassis, Armoured Ceramite is avalaible for 20pts, or should you be more mobility focused Auxiliary Drive is 10pts and Dozer Blade is a further 5pts. Whilst these options are lesser utilised – they still have their moments where they can be indispensable – especially if you find yourself outflanked and outranged. Sicarans from my Night Lords Armoured Caradara line up to prosecute targetsĭefensively, the Sicaran comes outfitted with Searchlight and Smoke Launchers. Finally, you can outfit a Sicaran with the standard range of pintle mounted weapons for the top hatch and put a Hunter-Killer missile on it for 5pts. A Sicaran may also take Sponson mounted Heavy Bolters or Las Cannons for 20 or 40pts respectively – but you don’t have to take anything if you prefer a cleaner looking or cheaper platform. This uses the standard Heavy Bolter profile, so whilst it’ll whittle Power Armour or lighter armoured infantry, don’t expect too much from it against the heavier marks of plate. Offensively, nestled in next to the Drivers position is an inbuilt Heavy Bolter, providing some baked in anti-infantry protection.
This means that even if it gets focus fired, you can still attempt to withdraw it to safety. The chassis is outfitted with Extra Armour reducing any Crew Stunned results to Crew Shaken instead.
Once out on the table, you can rapidly re-position to engage targets with very little concern. So, deploy in cover, then burst out and start firing with the main weapons for good effect. This means it can move up to 12″ when moving Flat Out and if it moved at Cruising Speed (6-12″) it can fire up to two weapons using their full Ballistic Skill. Not only is it Vehicle (Tank) but it is also Fast. The Sicaran is decidedly more robust than the Predator, having a one point of armour better on the sides and rear as a minimum. However, firstly, let’s look at the core chassis and explore what makes the Sicaran better than Legion staples such as Predators. Your opinions might differ but i’m hoping to explain my reasoning. That’s fine as it’s my general impression having played about with all of the variants in one way shape or form.
General Purpose: Sicaran Battle Tank, Sicaran Omega Tank Destroyer, Sicaran Arcus.ĭedicated Anti-Infantry: Sicaran Punisher. The Sicaran variants can be easily aligned into three specific groups: This Tactica will take each of the chassis and each of its weapons variants in turn and identify the strengths and weaknesses for them. The Sicaran tank chassis features fairly regularly in armies from all Legions, both Traitor and Loyalist. The Warmaster Horus would ensure many more of these machines ended up in the hands of the Traitor Legions than Loyalist in the run up to the start of the Horus Heresy”. “The Sicaran Chassis is an advanced tank design with exclusive provenance to the Space Marine Legions.
