Tiger9gamer Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 So, i thought the new massacre book came out, and there have been rumors of a regular space marine Relic book in a discussion about the Fire Raptor. So, i might ask, what does this battle Tank do? i really like the design. also, how many points is it compared to another heavy?

Moonstalker Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I'll try to keep things vague enough that I don't step on any toes, but I'll pass on what I've scoured from the web (I don't actually have my book yet, either). The main turret gun is a heavy 6 twin-linked autocannon with rending. It also ignores jink saves. 13/12/12, fast vehicle. The points cost is around that of a trilas predator. Heavy bolter or lascannon sponson options. Basically, it is what it says on the tin. A main battle tank with an accurate, fast-tracking main gun. I kinda wish it had 14/13/12 and slightly higher strength (or better AP) for the main gun, even if it meant it cost more. As it stands, I still want at least one. Probably two.

Scribe Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Yeah thats about it. I would probably get 1 just because they look cool, and then go for relic preds. I like the plasma one...

Disruptor_fe404 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Hull-mounted heavy bolter as well, right? I mean, I'm only guessing because the model has one on it.

Sanct Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 it does seem to be half way between the baal pred and the land raider - what with the speed/weapon types of the former (48" super asscannon? hell yeah!) and the increased armour/weapon layout of the later. Shame it lacks some of the customisation of the HH book 1 vehicles but it is a beaut.

facmanpob Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 The biggest problem with the Sicaran is that it sits in an FOC slot that makes me weep with how many cool options there are..... I currently want to run: Heavy Support Squads Predator Squadron Medusa Spartan Caestus and a Sicaran but I can't fit them all into an FOC....

Tiger9gamer Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Oooo, i like this tank a lot. Hope regular 40k can get it too! it can keep up with bikes pretty well i think. So, it's a tripple lascannon predator with nothing else on it, like upgrades? and it's fast, plus has a really cool autocannon.

Disruptor_fe404 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I think it was mentioned as being in IAv2,2E:WMotAA. And even if it wasn't, I'd put good money on it being there now that the Relic of the Armoury rule exists. I think the tri-las Predator mention is regarding the Sicaran's base cost (probably without sponsons). The rules will be out soon, be patient!

Russ Brother 92 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Points wise it is the Base Cost which is roughly a trilas pred - sponsons are same sorta price as regular pred ones. All in all something I'm likely to take unless I'm taking Preds (Executioners and Magna Meltas are wonderful) or Spartans :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282253-sicaran-battle-tank-info/#findComment-3503728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galron Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Needs 14 front armor or a reduced price but otherwise not a bad tank. Not a huge fan of the autocannon but lascannon sponsons are nice. I am going to field two in my Sally army eventually.

sonofpollux Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 The autocannon is awesome, every dice roll that you have will at least have one 6, which means at the lowest a glance on armor 14.Ego, lawyered.
