Cyber, in Epic A all Light Vehicle does is allows it to be shot at by both AP and AT fire. And yes, because of the light armour you could kill operator, knock out engine etc.
Now, I admit I have not played 40k for a small while and thus missed the FW re-release of the tarantula, but in the past it did not have a "driver" but did have a crew. Did this change somewhere?

The FW Tarantula is *now* a sentry gun in a similar vein to the sentry guns in ALIENS - Special Edition.
The original Tarantula (in 40K and Epic) had a crew of one.

But it was still robotic and could fire by itself. The operator was present to do field repairs and, if necessary, targeting override.
And no, I don't have the Fanatic #7 either. It probably arrives some 2 weeks after it's out in the UK just like #6.

Now that makes sense. There was a clear disconect with some on the Epic site about how to handle the tarantula.
Thanks
