Speed married to precision made the Legion Sicaran Battle Tank a natural favourite of the Emperor's Children, whose armoured crews pursued gunnery as another avenue toward perfection. The Sicaran's twin-linked accelerator autocannon flung self-correcting shells at blistering velocity, and III Legion gunners drilled endlessly to ensure not a round was wasted, treating each engagement as a demonstration of their flawless craft. Racing ahead of the main advance in gleaming purple and gold, these tanks ran down enemy skimmers and transports, clearing the field so that nothing might disrupt the elegant geometry of a Palatine assault. To the perfectionists of Fulgrim, a machine capable of both grace and lethal exactitude was a thing to be cherished, and the Sicaran's swift, surgical fire was made to serve a Legion that could not abide the ugliness of a clumsy, drawn-out fight.
