It looks like it's supposed to be a mortar, but they made it too large to be man-portable and too small to be actual self-propelled artillery. Since when did the Space Marines run their designs through the Pentagon?

See, I was thinking some weird sort of light anti-air.

Isn't "heavier than even a Space Marine could easily manage" what terminators, tanks and dreadnoughts are for? And those dumb things that are like a terminator but not. And Guardsmen.

I think that model would be significantly better if it was some weedy-rear end Adeptus Mechanicus dude instead of a spess mehreen driving it.

Alternatively, have it be a giant cannon being carried around on a palanquin by battle servitors and piloted by a Master of the Forge who just walks behind it, pushing it along like the world's most lethal shopping trolley.

It is indeed supposed to be a mortar. A quad-barrelled mortar.

I thought the Rapier (that's the stupid name for the track unit) trundles along and the Space Marines just watch it so it doesn't fall over or something. Anyways, Marine crew served weapons are stupid anyways. At best, there should be a pack of those things being herded and proded around by a Techmarine.

scrunts actually dont need necks, as their unusually large buldging eyes stick out of their skull so much that they have access to almost 180 of view without turning their head/body at all
