In addition to the Destructor , Annihilator and Baal patterns , less common Predator variants are to be found deep within the stasis-bound forge - chambers of the most fortunate of Chapters. In most cases , it is the First Founding Chapters who retain possession of such 'relic' vehicles as they are sometimes known, for these august bodies have fought for 10,000 years and even tanks wounded unto death are often recovered and afforded a place of honour in the vaults. Some Second Founding Chapters maintain almost as many of these rarer variants , having inherited them from their parent Legion when they came into being. Those Chapters born of later Foundings are counted fortunate to own but a single such vehicle,perhaps gifted to them by an ally or recovered from some ancient battlefield to serve as a reminder of the glories of the past - nonetheless , such vehicles , often conforming to the Deimos pattern, might be found in the arsenals of any Chapter in existence . Some of these vehicles are true relics unknown to any but the most fortunate of Chapters , while others have simply fallen from use over the milennia and their time may yet come again.

除了毀滅者型、根除者型和巴爾型之外，我們還能在那些最幸運戰(zhàn)團靜滯鑄造間的深處找到不那么常見的掠食者坦克改型。在大多數情況下，仍然保有著這些“圣物”載具（它們有時候是被如是稱呼）的都是初創(chuàng)戰(zhàn)團，這些令人敬畏的機體已經奮戰(zhàn)了10,000年，即便是那些受了毀滅性損傷的坦克通常也會被收回，并在倉庫中被給予光榮的地位。某些出現于第二次建軍的戰(zhàn)團也盡可能多地保有著這些稀有改型——他們是在成立時從自己的母軍團處繼承了這些裝備。至于那些誕生于之后建軍中的戰(zhàn)團們，只要擁有一輛此類載具就算得上幸運——它們要么是盟友饋贈的禮物，要么就是回收自某片古老的戰(zhàn)場，用于提醒人們過去的榮譽。但盡管如此，我們可能會在現存所有戰(zhàn)團的武庫中找到此類通常符合“迪莫斯模式”的載具。這些載具中的某些是真正的圣物，只為那些最幸運的戰(zhàn)團們所知；其他載具則僅是在數千年的時間不再被使用，它們的時代可能還會再次來到。

One of the most prized, and almost lost , Predator tank patterns is the Deimos pattern Predator Executioner , which mounts a rare Executioner class plasma destroyer. This ancient and powerful weapon fires a series of sun - hot plasma blasts , capable of incinerating flesh and blasting apart even power armour with contemptuous ease. Only the Forge World of Ryza is still able to manufacture the advanced photo-plasmic cells needed for the Executioner weapon , so many Chapters whose Techmarines have sufficient skill and knowledge replace the plasma cannon with a heavy conversion beamer. This turns the Predator Executioner into an extremely powerful siege unit and long-range tank destroyer, but this firepower is gained at the cost of manoeuvrability and increased vulnerability to short -ranged attacks. That such a modification carries a long - standing seal of remittance from the Adeptus Mechanicus speaks of cataclysmic battles in a forgotten age, in which such devastating firepower was more common and more necessary.

處決者型迪莫斯掠食者是最為珍貴也幾乎遺失的掠食者坦克之一，其上安裝了一門罕見的處決者型破壞炮。這種古老且強悍的武器發(fā)射出的一連串具有恒星熱度的電漿團，能毫不費力地焚化肉體，甚至炸開動力甲。只有鑄造世界瑞扎（目前）仍能制造處決者武器所需的先進光化電漿能量艙，所以在其技術軍士具備足夠技藝與知識的諸多戰(zhàn)團中，電漿炮會被替換為一門重型轉換光束炮，這就將處決者型掠食者轉變?yōu)榱藰O其強悍的攻城單位和遠距離坦克毀滅者，但獲得此等火力的代價是機動性，而且也讓載具面對近距離攻擊時更為脆弱。此種改造得到了機械修會的長期匯付批準印章，這表明在那些發(fā)生于某個被遺忘時期的災難性戰(zhàn)爭中，此種毀滅性的火力是更為常見和必要的。

The Deimos pattern Predator Infernus is an ancient pattern of Predator believed to date back to the hallowed days of the Great Crusade , but has now largely been replaced by the Land Raider Redeemer in many Chapters. The Crimson Fists Fire Lords and Subjugators , among others , still value its close - range firepower when combating such xenos hordes as the Orks , and in particular it is seeing resurgence amongst those Chapters confronting the Tyranid menace.Other ancient data sources speculate that the Predator Infernus was an attempt to replicate the Baal Predator STC , stubbornly held by the honoured Blood Angels and their successors , and the same conjectural sources imply the superiority of this latter design in terms of speed , armour and armament. The Machine Cult of Mars' gall at the Blood Angels refusal to release this precious relic is widely known , and so the Infernus boasts a fearsome armament in the form of a turret - mounted flamestorm cannon , often replaced with the anti - armour potency of?a magna-melta , a devastating weapon originaly intended tor void - war boarding actions . Regardless of turret weapon, the Infernus is usually additionally equipped with sponson - mounted heay bolters or heavy flamers.

煉獄型迪莫斯掠食者是一種古老的掠食者型號，據信其（起源）可被追溯到神圣的大遠征時期，但目前的很多戰(zhàn)團都用救贖者型蘭德掠奪者將之替換。而緋紅之拳、火焰領主和征服者，以及其他一些戰(zhàn)團則仍然珍視煉獄型迪莫斯掠食者在對抗諸如歐克獸人等異形群落時的近距離火力，那些正在對抗泰倫異形威脅的戰(zhàn)團尤其重視此類載具，煉獄型掠食者正在被他們重新啟用。（一些）其他的古老數據資料推測稱：煉獄型掠食者是人們嘗試復制巴爾型掠食者STC的產物——可敬的圣血天使及其子團固執(zhí)地守護著相關資料，而相同的推測性資料也暗示后一種型號在速度、裝甲和彈藥方面更具優(yōu)越性。眾所周知，對于圣血天使拒絕公開這種珍貴遺產的行為，火星機械教派心懷怨恨，所以煉獄型掠食者那安裝在炮塔上的火焰風暴加農炮，通常會被替換為用于反裝甲的重型熱熔炮——這種毀滅性武器最初是用于虛空戰(zhàn)爭中的跳幫行動。但無論炮塔主武器是什么，煉獄型掠食者通常都會在側面額外安裝重型爆彈槍或重型噴火器。
