Its like the vehicular version of those Shotas with a ginormous Dick.

"With its reinforced chassis and brutal short-range firepower, the Legion Arquitor Bombard is called upon to break the most stubborn enemy fortifications or annihilate massed troops and armour. Deployed alongside infantry squads, the Space Marines know that these artillery pieces will see them through the most ferocious of firefights."

– GeeDubs description.

The Legion Arquitor Bombard is a new and smol artillery tank used by the SPESS MEHREEN LEGIONS of yore during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. These are one of the smallest ground vehicles that can be driven by a Space Marine, seriously, just look at the size of that cockpit, that thing ain't a tank, its a tankette. Still, despite its puny size, it more than overcompensates for its stature by carrying a big fucking Graviton gun.

The back of the Legion Arquitor Bombard, a vehicle that is 50% gun. One must wonder just where the fuck it stores its engines.

Overview

With its small size, the Legion Arquitor Bombard could only mount weapons as big as it is, as such, the range of these weapons are cut pitifully short, especially for a dedicated artillery piece. Fortunately, the weapon that the Arquitor is armed is the aforementioned graviton beat stick.

The graviton-charge cannon is the primary weapon of this little artillery tank. It is used to crush enemy fortifications and the occasional tank in times of heavily drawn-out sieges. Seeing as how graviton and other grav weapons are for more effective against objects that are extra THICC such as vehicles, super heavies and TEQs, blasting a graviton wave against a giant wall seems to be the next logical conclusion. Walls have to be big y'all to be truly effective, so it makes sense to use the wall's very own size and weight against it; stressing the foundations until the wall itself could no longer take the amplified weight before crumbling down like the Berlin Wall.

Unfortunately, the short range kind of makes this baby Basilisk a bit too risk-heavy and, given how rare and expensive Grav-Weaponry are, present day Space Marine Chapters which still house these artillery pieces are quite hesitant at rolling them out in the battlefield. The vehicle is mounted with two heavy bolter sponsons as secondary weapons, but these are a last resort and they ain't gonna do much when a Dreadnought is gonna march right up to that poor little Shota of a vehicle before uttering "Ara ara!".
