* Predator Annihilator - The Predator Annihilator is a variant of the basic Predator Destructor that replaces the tank's turret-mounted Autocannon with a set of Twin-linked Lascannons. The Lascannons allow the Predator Annihilator to effectively engage enemy armoured vehicles. This variant of the Predator was developed during the 36th Millennium by the Space Wolves Space Marine Chapter to use against overwhelming enemy armoured forces during the Skarath Crusade.

After nearly 200 standard years of testing, the Adeptus Mechanicus gave the Machine God's blessing for the variant, and now most Space Marine Chapters field this powerful anti-armour vehicle.
* Baal Predator - The Baal Predator is a special infantry support variant of the Predator tank. This variant of the Predator was developed by the Techmarines of the Blood Angels Chapter. This variant replaces the tank's Autocannon with Twin-linked Assault Cannons or a Flamestorm Cannon and it can also equip Heavy Flamers on its sponson-mounts. The Standard Template Construct (STC) designs for the Baal Pattern Predator have been held by the Blood Angels since the early years of the Great Crusade and this has caused much friction between the Sons of Sanguinius and the Adeptus Mechanicus. Due to this design never being truly sanctified by the Mechanicum, it is mostly used only by the Blood Angels and their Successor Chapters.
* Deimos Predator - The Deimos Pattern Predator, better known as the Deimos Predator, is an ancient pattern of the Predator that was first used by the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade. The Deimos Predator is Artificer-crafted by the finest machine-wrights of the Adeptus Mechanicus on the Machanicum's homeworld of Mars. This pattern of the Predator also has its own variant, known as the Deimos Predator Executioner, which exchanges the Deimos Predator's Autocannon or Twin-linked Lascannons with either a Plasma Destroyer or a Heavy Conversion Beamer.
