When coupled with the Sicaran Venator's ferocious speed, the Sicaran Venator was an ideal tank hunter, slicing apart armoured hulls with casual ease and blasting internal compartments and crew with atomic fire.Ĭonceived in the fires of war, the Sicaran Venator was the result of all the knowledge gleaned from the unnumbered battles of the Great Crusade. The Sicaran Venator replaced the turret-mounted Accelerator Cannon of the standard Sicaran with a powerful Neutron Beam Laser. The Sicaran Venator is a variant of the Sicaran battle tank which saw extensive use in the opening battles of the Horus Heresy. 5 Adeptus Mechanicus Technical SpecificationsĪn ancient pict-capture of an Iron Hands Legion Sicaran Venator firing its Neutron Beam Laser.I suspect that these variants will remain available as Forge World resin models for the time being, perhaps converted to upgrade sets for the plastic kit.

It is unclear whether there will be more kits for the Punisher, Omega and Arcus variants, as the turret is not “outsourced” to a separate sprue like the Leviathan weapon arms. It should be noted that the kit only contains the accelerator autocannon turret. This one has hatches, gunner options, various pintle-mounted weapons, a hunter-killer missile, search-light, and smoke launcher. Finally, there is the generic tank accessories sprue that also comes with the Spartan Assault Tank and Deimos Rhino. Two large sprues build the hull and turret, and there is a medium-sized sprue for all the tracks:Īdditionally, we have the side-sponsons sprue we know from the Kratos Heavy Assault tank, which lets you build a pair of heavy bolters, lascannons, heavy flamers, or volkite culverins.

The box has the same size as the Deimos pattern Rhino and unveils a total of 5 sprues, an assembly guide, and a small transfer sheet with Sons of Horus and Imperial Fists iconography. The model is a faithful adaption of the resin kit and comes with an accelerator autocannon turret, a hull-mounted heavy bolter, and a choice of heavy bolters, lascannons, heavy flamers, or volkite culverins as sponson weapons. The Sicaran Battle Tank will be available for preorder starting Saturday, August 13 2022, and on sale one week after.
