Mit dem Sicaran Venator rollt ein mächtiger Panzerjäger aus den Schmieden auf die Schlachtfelder der Horus Heresy.

Heresy Thursday – The Sicaran Venator Is a High-Speed Tank-Hunter With a Massive Laser

For every battlefield problem in the Horus Heresy, the Legiones Astartes have at least one tank-shaped solution. The Typhon Heavy Siege Tank can level heavily fortified buildings, Scorpius Missile Tanks pin troops down with high-explosive salvos, and now the new plastic Sicaran Venator kit tears other tanks apart with its impressive primary armament.

With its smaller profile and souped-up engine, the stock Sicaran nips in behind enemy war machines to get to their vulnerable bits. The Venator takes tank-hunting to the next level, replacing the standard issue accelerator autocannons with a devastating neutron beam laser.

Forged by the tech-priests of Mars during the Great Crusade, this advanced weapon was once used to slice through xenos armour. After the family dispute, the Loyalists and Traitors both quickly discovered that neutron lasers were just as effective when turned on ceramite and plasteel.

This is a powerful Ordnance weapon – if the crackling energy beam doesn’t obliterate its target, the resultingShock Pulse scrambles electronics and neuters any armed response.

Like the stock Sicaran, the Venator can field sponson weapons to double down as a high-speed tank hunter, or to diversify its range of targets to include troops.
