So I was wondering, hypothetically, is there a points value in which WoC could actually out artillery Dwarves/Skaven/Empire? Assuming that all Rare slots are Hellcannons.

Well, in anything under 3000 points you can only have 2 repeat rare selections. So that's 2 hellcannons... no exactly going to outdo a traditional gunline army with that!

The hellcannon is good, though, because it does more than just shoot... and it's added to an army with other strengths (very tough combat units, strong magic). So that's where it's advantage lies, rather than in "out-empiring" empire or dwarves!

Didn't think so, but someone could have come in and proved me wrong.

I suppose it is technically possible, providing the other army takes little to no artillary.
