I like the idea of treating them as vehicles with a few tweaks here
and there to make them a bit more survivable than your standard SG2
vehicle.  Treating the biguns as a vehicle makes them an easy target
and requires support weapons to take them down (assuming armor 2).
That kind of fits the mental picture of a 20' tall chitonous
monstrosity hauling it across the table.  That and it gives me an
excuse to paint up my DLD tanks.  :)

Causing terror is also a win for the alien horde.  Close combat will
be tricky for whatever opponent they choose.  If it takes support
weapons to wound them your standard infantry squad may be faced with
the prospect of displacing instead of being charged by the monster.

The old screamer Carnifex?  I have three of the previous gen Carnies
and they're pretty huge.
