The Onager Dunecrawler is a assault walker used by Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii. Based on technology dated from the Dark Age of Technology, the Onager Dunecrawler is based on the Mars Universal Land Engine (or M.U.L.E.), which in turn was fashioned by famed technoarchaeologist Arkhan Land (Of the Land Raider fame) as a form of transport but was soon modified into a weapon of war.
Despite looking like the demented child between a Sentinel and a giant crab, the Onager Dunecrawler is significantly more advance, better armored and better armed. Able to carry a collection of advanced weaponry not seen since the Great Crusade such as a Eradication Beamer, Phosphor Blasters, Neutron Laser, and a coaxial Heavy Stubber, one must wonder how easy wars would have been fought if the Mechanicus actually decide to export such weapons to the Imperial Guard but alas, it is all wishful thinking. It can also be equipped with an Icarus Array, a powerful anti-air package compromising twin Autocannons, a Gatling Flak Launcher, and Missile Launchers making it a bane to most enemy flyers.
The Dunecrawler maintains a crew of two fused with their Onager host in a symbiotic relationship similar to that of the Princeps and Moderatii of the Titan Legions. Its gunner is a former Skitarii Ranger that fires the weaponry while the driver is a Skitarii Vanguard, whose augmented body allows him to be resistant to the harmful energies being spewed out; allowing him to immerse himself in an electro-amniotic fluid that allows direct communication with the walker's Machine Spirit....it's similar to the Matrix films really. Treated like expendable living batteries, the crews inevitably die over time and are promptly replaced.
