Here are some relevant quotes for the Ordinatus Minoris, emphasis mine.
Quote:
(p.129)
In between the ranks of Martian foot-soldiers were tracked crawlers,
one for every phalanx. They were Ordinatus Minoris crawlers, and
each was the lengh of three Leman Russ battle tanks. They had two,
wide track units, one at the front and one at the rear, and between
these was supported the mass of the war machine. Heavy girders and
steel struts supported huge weapons, and each crawler had dozens of
red robed adepts and servitors as crew. Steel ladders rose to the
control cabins that were offset from the main guns. Larson did not
recognise the weapons that these behemoths of steel and bronze bore,
but the massive, steaming couplings and humming generators upon
their backs spoke of immense contained power.
Quote:
(p.185)
Coalescing arcs of energy streamed from the weapons borne upon the
backs of tracked crawlers that inched forward through the mire of
bodies and rain water. Kol Badar had seen some of those weapons
before. Many were weapons developed to be borne by the colossal war
machines of the Titan Legions. Without the technology to continue to
construct these behemoths of war, many of which weree over a hundred
meters in height, the Adeptus Mechanicus had clearly deemed it fit
to mount these artillery pieces upon tracked crawler units, but the
effectivenes of the weapons remained awesome.
So from that description, something like two Chimera-sized hulls (only wider), with a gap between them, and a weapon system supported on a platform above/between.
They are seemingly quite common ("One for every phalanx").
Thanks for the clarification. That should clear up any issues that Flogus had with mounting carapace only weapons.
