Good points Vit... For a display though, we might be able to get away with it.  Especially if it was a cool display.

Hokay, Folks! I need some assistance.
All the "rules" I've found for the various Ordinatii put a TwL Heavy Bolter turret on the tractor, a pair of Lascannon turrets...somewhere... (And I do mean somewhere, there's no lascannons on the Epic scale model) and totally ignore the read sponson-mount on the Golgotha.
So, do I model based on the available internet-spawned rules, or do I try and match what is actually on the Epic Scale model?
DISCUSS!

Do your own, and then make a datasheet. Theres PLENTY of folks on dakka who are willing to help test/tweak rules, especially if you've already made the badass model and have pics to inspire them.
I always think with big projects like this, the modelling comes first. You should be making something awesome first and foremost, then fitting rules to whatever emerges. All this imho ofc.

Base it on the Epic models, but go your own way where you feel the need.
And a couple of pics for inspiration:

@ monkeytroll What is that thing? Very cool!
@ Brian After staring at the model and further examining the variations on the rules, I'd say you should add in the lascannons and heavy bolters. Heck, add more! The Epic model was a very early version and it wasn't particularly large, its hard to really make out details. There easily could have been heavy bolters and lascannons on it they were just to small to see. Plus, what large Imperial vehicle doesn't have side sponsons of heavy bolters or lascannons. I'm sure during the construction of this massive super cool vehicle you could fit them in. I totally agree with Vitruvian as well, make up your own data sheet. Use the others as a template and go from there.
These giant vehicles were all one of a kind. Each one has its own history and its own usage. Heck, I'd even help whip up some fluff if you'd like!

Hey, I was lured here under false pretences. Where's the fething turnips?
Great start Brian, going to be a beast.
I posted that aircraft carrier hoping someone would want to make one - bacause that's what I thought when I saw it My cyborks need something like that I feel. And as I've just thought of a use for my skysheild legs, that means the landing pad itself need attaching to something

I've heard of teams where each member had two land raiders.... so no matter what your opponents were facing 4 LRs. Doesn't leave you much for flexibility though.

Yeah, I've seen that. And while far be it from me, a lowly non-award-winning schlub to speak up...
<rant> I found that conversion to be utterly lame. We threw a Reaver launcher onto this mostly unmodified superheavy chassis, added a few bits from the IG Accessories Sprue, and called it a day! </rant>
Of course, I have something to strive for, to UTTERLY ECLIPSE WITH THE TRUE POWER OF GOLGOTHA.
So, YMMV.
