Forge World: Sicaran Punisher Assault Tank
Von Forge World rollt eine neue Variante des Sicaran Tanks an, der Sicaran Punisher Assault Tank bringt ordentlich Feuerkraft für die Armeen der Space Marines auf die Schlachtfelder der Horus Heresy und von Warhammer 40.000.
Legion Sicaran Punisher Assault Tank – 79,00 GBP
The Punisher-type Sicaran variant came into general use amongst the various Space Marine Legions 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 pattern main battle tanks, 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.
This multi-part resin kit contains the components necessary to assemble a Legion Sicaran Punisher Assault Tank, a Heavy Support choice for Space Marines in The Horus Heresy and an Elites choice in Warhammer 40,000. A high-speed ‘destroyer’ tank, the Sicaran Battle Tank has seen countless battlefields, complementing the more common Predator and Land Raider designs. This variant boasts the same basic hull shape – very much a case of function over form, though its wide tracks and thick armour give the miniature a certain austere charm – with an imposing punisher rotary cannon bolted to the top, ready to fire a ceaseless barrage of high calibre shells.
The hull is covered with details; cables, connectors and ammo feeds for the various weapons (along with the punisher rotary cannon you’ll find 2 lascannon and 3 heavy bolters, one of which is front-mounted), and the tiniest viewing window imaginable. Exclusive to this variant are the special turret head, the rotary cannon itself and a sensor array.
This resin kit comes as 54 components, and rules for using it in games of The Horus Heresy are available as a PDF download.

Sicaran Battle-Line – 158,00 GBP
A pair of impressively-armoured, fearsomely-beweaponed tanks, the Sicaran Battle-Line is a bundle of two resin miniatures:
Sicaran Battle Tank
An incredibly advanced armoured unit, the Sicaran utilises component technologies from various STC patterns to create a high-speed ‘destroyer’ tank to complement the more commonplace Predator and Land Raider designs. Armed with lascannon, heavy bolters and the Herakles pattern accelerator autocannon, it can pinpoint and destroy vulnerabilities with lethal precision. The Sicaran Battle Tank is a complete resin kit. The rules for this model can be found in The Horus Heresy Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List.
Legion Sicaran Punisher Assault Tank
A variant of the Sicaran battle Tank featuring the aggressively potent punisher rotary cannon, this resin kit is made up of the same hull as the Sicaran Battle Tank, but features a massive rotary cannon bolted to the top, with a specific turret head bristling with sensors and ammo feeds. This resin kit comes as 54 components, and rules for using it in games of The Horus Heresy are available as a PDF download, and rules for use in Warhammer 40,000 are available in Imperial Armour – Index: Forces of the Adeptus Astartes.

Es verbraucht 20 Arbeitskräfte um seine Waffe 6 Sekunden lang abzufeuern. Danach braucht es zwölf Psalme das Ding wieder zu laden. 😛 Aber sie sieht immerhin fesch aus!
Zumindest ist das Magazin diesesmal wenigstens ansatzweise plausibel…
… im gegensatz z.B. zu dem komischen Raketenwerfer vorher…
mit Chance haben die Techpriester den Magazintunnel sogar bis in den Rumpf geführt…
… aber nur vieleicht, wenn da einer mit Ahnung und intuition dabei war… >D
Und hässlich ist er!
Das ist wie immer eine Geschmacksfrage.
Ich z.B. finde ihn garnicht so schlecht, ich könnte mir vorstellen ,dass er sich ganz gut zwischen meinen Baal predatoren der Blood Angels machen würde.
Ich finde es auch positiv, dass sich die Forge World Designer hier mal zusammenreißen konnten und dem Teil keine synchronisierte Turmkanone gegeben haben, denn dass wäre dann auch meiner Meinung nach zuviel des Guten gewesen (wie leider häufig der Fall bei FW Fahrzeugen).
Doch wie so häufig bei Forge World Modellen, ist es mir ersten zu teuer und macht zweitens (höchstwahrscheinlich) keinen Spaß beim Zusammenbau.

MADE MY DAY!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Schickes Modell. Wird sicher seinen Weg zu uns finden.
Im Output ist der gegen Horden sicher nice mit 3 schweren Bolter = 27 Schuss, die Richtige Farbe hat er auch ;-), ich glaub ich werde schwach dabei.
