The Predator is a battle tank employed by the Space Marines. It is a more heavily armed and armoured version of the Space Marine Rhino personnel carrier. There are two major patterns of Predator, each differing essentially in their specific weaponry. Besides the two common patterns, the Blood Angels and their successor Chapters employ the assault-oriented Baal Predator. The Predator Destructor is the original model of Predator battle tanks, with its origins dating back to the Dark Age of Technology. The Predator was built in direct response to the threat of Orks, which were proving difficult for humanity to handle. Its combination of heavier armour and weaponry allowed the Predatory to withstand Orkish attacks and easily destroy their vehicles. Soon the Predator became the standard fighting vehicle for all of humanity's armies, and would remain in that position throughout the Great Crusade, where its small troop carrying capacity would be replaced with space for more ammunition. Eventually, similar to the Rhino it was based off of, the Predator Destructor would be restricted to use by the Space Marines only.
