The Sicaran battle tank is one of the most advanced armoured units in the arsenal of the Legiones Astartes, with a number of variants that spread quickly throughout the Legions. The Sicaran Punisher Assault Tank came into general use amongst the various Space Marine Legions in the final days of the Great Crusade, named for the punisher rotary cannon mounted on its turret. This weapon already had a reputation for eradicating massed conscript infantry or hordes of swarming xenos creatures, limited only by its relatively short range and prodigious appetite for munitions – the impressive speed of the Sicaran hull effectively negated these range issues, resulting in a truly deadly war machine.
