I was reading throught the SM book and I fell in love with this thing when i saw it. I was just wondering if any of you use this thing and how does it fair.

I've built one for my brother's Space Marine army. It's a bitch and a half to put together. But against my Orks, it was devastating. Four small blast markers per turn that can ignore armour? Pure hell. Against a mechanized list, the earthshaker rounds can be counted on to immobilize at least one vehicle every game if the cannon survives long enough.

how would it work would all four shots scatter?

Don't have my codex handy, but I believe all four shots scatter as normal.

ignore cover* not armor (some can ignore armor...but that's not important)

It's a 'heavy' profile weapon...so each shot scatters per itself

It's a glass cannon, but man does it pack a punch. I would suggest taking at least 2 in a list, as that helps to ensure 1 makes it at least to the halfway point of the game. They will also survive longer if put in a list with good amounts of armor saturation. The more vehicles your enemy has to shoot, the less weapons will be pointed at them. Definitely give them a try with a proxy.
