She will now be chained to a gaint floating menofix that is held up but 27 Zealots, an avatar, and a crusader. Plus she will have chains flying off of her with flags and banners all over them that are WAY TOO HEAVY for what they go on..... I HATE YOU HARBINGER! I HATE YOU!!!! putting her together that is...

The horses are well trained and he does have the means from within the carriage to dictate where they go.

Such a thing would be far more complex and finicky, plus likely extremely less efficient than the living flesh and blood horse. While such complex mechanisms have a place in our setting, they aren't ubiquitous. Horses are still quite valued as very efficient and useful creatures across the board. Steam engines haven't replaced everything in the Iron Kingdoms, and this is one area where horses work just fine. Note that warjacks are still often hauled from one place to another on wagons by similarly strong horses, as is the coal used to power them. I personally find this concept far more in keeping with our setting than any steam-powered tank would be. Warjacks definitely occupy that niche. But cannons are still important in our warfare, and many of those get hauled from one battlefield to the next by teams of horses. The Khadorans have simply expedited the whole thing and been courteous enough to provide these crews with a more sheltered and mobile place from which to fire them. Personally I'd rather be in there than reloading a mortar out in the open.
