Heresy Era Iron Hands - Sicaran battle tanks painted

Two big ol' chunks of resin rumbled off the assembly line, my new favorite FW kit of all time, the Sicaran Battle Tank!

I just love the design of these guys - they're explained as being the intermediate between the Predator and the Land Raider and I think the sculptors really did a good job tying the two looks together. It's got the trapezoidal track housings akin to the Land Raider, and the rounded turret is a nice call to the Deimos predators.

  

The Iron Hands have a tank commander character that provides the tank with BS:5 and Tank Hunters which is a pretty nasty combo. Along with the trio of heavy bolters, this tank will pump out 15 shots a turn, hitting on 2's and rerolling armour penetration. Say goodbye to light vehicles, and even Land Raiders could be threatened by it (though proper target selection priority suggests that the Sicaran should concentrate on lighter targets).

  

Of course, if one is good, two is better, right? I plan on running a pair of them where possible, with the fact that most legions will be throwing 40+ infantry, these tanks will also be invaluable to whittle down the enemy footsloggers. Really looking forward to getting them on the table, hoping to get in a couple test games soon!
