That gunner completely ruins it. Not as bad as the OTHER version of it
It'd look great. Give it a normal Land Speeder front, and lose the stupid mini-cathedral gak in the passenger seat so you can restore the gunner to where he should be, and you've got a very cool looking 'heavy land speeder'. Right now you just have a gaudy awkward unbalanced mess.

that's what a land speeder does- hovers a few feet off the ground.
Actually they are meant to fly about 12 ft up, look at all the artwork for them, they are like low planes not skimmers like the eldar or tau tanks. These look more like they are low skimmers like the alien tanks.

Huh, I always imagined them hovering maybe 3 feet above the ground, but with the ability to go higher at the cost of fuel and handling.

If they were going to make it optional to remove the plasmas and shove a mini-church on it, it should have made it set into the circle where the gunner was, not stick it behind him.
He's the DJ dude. DAs have to have their music on the road to war.

They kind of made sense in Return of the King where they were defending a fixed position and using abandoned chunks of the city as weapons.
But for a field battle? Do the Bretonnians really have that many abandoned shrines they can use them as ammo? What about overseas?
So yeah, Church-a-pult.

I don't think you have to use the Church pillar provided, you could probably use rocks or stone. It's simply showing them using ruins as ammunition, it isn't very silly.

Though, to be fair, they usually fired as soon as they were in range, instead of politely abandoning the advantage of having an indirect fire weapon placed on the side of a mountain.
