It is a monster and has a ballistic skill so i was wondering if I actually needed the crew to fire it

By that logic, technically yes it could shoot by its self. But according to Games Workshop it needs crew...

In the WoC army book it says that the hellcannon operates like a Monster and Handlers, so i would think it could shoot...

I dunno...

Not necessarily, it is just harder to restrain it as it needs to pass a Ld check with Ld 5

So the question is now, can it fire if it passes this leadership test?

Or maybe, "why can't it fire?"

It fires on its own, the crew are there just to make it behave.

The crew are there to pass their LD of 9 to the Hell Cannon, other than that there is nothing preventing the Hell cannon from firing.

Yea so the answer seems that so long as the hellcannon doesn't go looping off anywhere after taking its leadership tests, it can fire, crew or not
