Gladiator Tank
"Few Warhammer 40,000 tanks are as iconic or popular as the Predator – a Space Marine attack vehicle that’s provided fire support on tabletops across the galaxy since the days of Rogue Trader. Now, the Primaris Space Marines have a battle tank with the versatility, reliability and firepower of this venerable stalwart of the Chapter armoury – and some brand-new upgrades."
- – GeeDubs not so subtly telling the Predator Tanks to go to a retirement home...
The Gladiator Tanks is the Primaris Space Marines new and improved equivalent of the Adeptus Astartes Predator Tank. Primaris players rejoiced as they finally got a true Main Battle Tank to play around with without getting lascannon'ed like the Rhino-esque Impulsor nor costing a bag of bricks like the Land Raider-esque Repulsor Tank. Like most Primaris vehicles, the Gladiator Tank comes with anti-grav plates to move around with. So far, there are three confirmed variants of the Galdiator Tank.
Gladiator Lancer[edit]
The Lancer has a big ass lascannon ideal for blasting tanks from far away and two twin-linked Heavy Bolters to fend off those troublesome assault units. Despite sporting a Lascannon, the Lancer fulfils a role more similar to the Predator Destructor; a well-balanced tank that can alternate between sniping vehicles from a safer distance than the Valiant and taking down infantry up close when they're not quite numerous enough to require a Reaper.
Gladiator Valiant[edit]
The Valiant is the Predator Annhilator of Gladiator Tanks, albeit short-ranged. It has two sponson multi-meltas and a turreted twin-linked las-talons for close quarters destruction of enemy armor and heavy infantry.
Gladiator Reaper[edit]
The Reaper is the Baal Predator of the family and as such, possess the most Dakka. The tank packs sponson-mounted tempest bolters (which seem to be a set of four bolters linked together along the lines of the Land Raider Crusader's Hurricane Bolters) and twin heavy Onslaught Gatling Cannons to erase infantry into a fine red mist.
