Hi, im new here so if i do somthing wrong please tell me.
I had this idea a while ago but i just got it to paper.
The Titanous heavy bomber.......points 800
The Titanous is the largest bomber used by the imprium. It was developed with one purpose in mind, to utterly annihilate the enemy within a single bombing run. Although it has mass firepower and armour it has been dubbed the flying coffin due to fact that almost all planes that leave will leave for good because of the titanious manoeuvrability. Even though the mortality rate is high there is never a lack of brave guardsmen that will take up the opportunity to rain death onto the enemy of the emperor. BS:3 front:11 side:11 rear:11
Unit: 1 titanous
Type: super heavy flyer
Structure points: 3
Weapons and equipment:
1 battle cannon with a co-axel autocannon
4 twin-linked autocannons
2 twin-linked lascannons
A Titanous has 20 bombs* within its bomb bay
Special rules:
AA mount: all weapons (except the battle cannon) have the AA rule.
Bombs away: because of its multiple bombs you can place up to a max of 3 apocalypse barrage.
So tell me what you think

Although it has mass firepower and armour it has been dubbed the flying coffin due to fact that almost all planes that leave will leave for good because of the titanious slow speed and its bad manoeuvrability.

Unit: 1 titanous
Type: super heavy flyer
Structure points: 5
5 is too many I think for a Flyer, even Thunderhawks only have three.
Weapons and equipment:
1 battle cannon with a co-axel punisher gatling cannon
Surely a suitable Co-axial weapon for a Battle Cannon would be an Autocannon?
6 twin-linked autocannons
I would cut it down to three
2 twin-linked lascannons
4 sponsors, 2 with twin-linked heavy bolters, 2 with heavy bolters
4 additional Heavy Bolters is too much IMO A Titanous has 40 bombs* within its bomb bay
Too many bombs, 20 would be sufficient
A Titanous has 6 wing mounted hellstorm bombs* and 4 hellstrike missiles
Again, with 6 extra Hellstorms this thing isn't going to get off the ground. 20 regular Bombs or 6 Hellstorms would be sufficient.
Special rules:
Slow: the titanous only ever moves 20 from its staring point
There is no such thing as a "slow Flyer", they must move 36"/turn. Even Mantas move faster than this.
AA mount: all weapons (except the battle cannon) have the AA rule
Maybe the Heavy Bolters only.
Bombs away: because of its multiple bombs you can place up to a max of 3 apocalypse barrage or 2 hellstorm templates during a bombing run.
*you can only drop one type of bomb a turn.
Here is a pic of what i think it should look like

So tell me what you think
i just had the same kind of idea an uber super bomber made from some sort of cheap model plane kit, with added weapons sounds simple enoughh, infact maybe even a working one, that can fly over the field and open a bomb bay or actually, i might make a hovering helicopter of some sort...
