Alternate View: Space Marine Predator Annihilator

The Predator is a variant of the Rhino armoured personnel carrier that sacrifices passenger capacity for superior armour and firepower. These vehicles have served the Adeptus Astartes since the dark days of the Horus Heresy, but were created long before the Emperor united Humanity and led the Great Crusade to reclaim the galaxy.

Every Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes has a large pool of armoured vehicles at its disposal, ranging from the ubiquitous Rhino to the mighty Land Raider. These vehicles each fulfil a specific battlefield role set down by the Ultramarines Primarch Roboute Guilliman in his epic tome – the Codex Astartes. The Predator is a light tank, and its primary battlefield role is that of squad support. Wherever a squad of Space Marines is in need of mobile fire support, be it against enemy infantry or armour, the Predator is there to provide it.

The Predator tank can be configured in a number of different ways. The Destructor is an all-out troop-killing machine, its turret configured to use the mighty autocannon, whilst the sponsons utilise a pair of deadly heavy bolters. The Annihilator optimises the Predator's tank-hunting capabilities with its multiple lascannons. Alternatively, it may be armed in similar fashion to its sister tank, with heavy bolters in the sponsons to give it a powerful punch against infantry and light vehicles, while its turret-mounted tank-busting twin-linked lascannon deals with any armoured foes it encounters.

Predator Destructors and Predator Annihilators may be included in your Space Marines army as a Heavy Support choice.
