Knowing very little about 40k ships I am not really sure what the cannon would be used for but I really like KK's mortar idea, a wide but short barreled gun mounted on top of the ship with very little range of motion would be pretty cool.
Alternatively if you wanted to go the planetary bombardment route it would make sense to have it mounted on the underside of the ship, ala the Star Destroyers from Rise of Skywalker albeit bigger and more creative than what we saw in the film.

Actually I was thinking the hull since they should be used on planets.
Yeah the ship can roll over, but they never seem to in films or games so I'd vote hull.

Novan Elites – Lynx Pattern Destroyers
Lynx class Destroyers are small and fast craft that are capable of quickly delivering their deadly cargo. For its size the Lynx is heavily armed, making it a jack of all trades. Its basic armament includes two dorsal mounted twin turrets to take out incoming ordnance, and two pairs of prow torpedo tubes. Its broadsides allow for different types of weapon systems which can be changed whilst in dock due to its modular design. Most common broadside configurations are either weapon batteries or launch bays for a small compliment of fighters.
Its diverse armament is also its main disadvantage. A lot of space normally used for supplies such as fuel, ammunition, foodstuffs, and oxygen is sacrificed for the Lynx’s many weapon systems. What this means is that the Lynx needs constant resupplying, making it incapable of long independent missions away from sources of supply. Because of this the Lynx is often deployed on short duration missions only, when not operating as part of a larger battle flotilla.
This set contains:
2 x Lynx Destroyer hulls (1 x batteries, 1 x launch bays)
2 x optional wings sets and twin turrets
Notes:
1.Resin cast models
2. Model length approx. 38mm
3. Flight base not included

Did you also model the Battlegroup Helios line, or are you focusing only on their opponents / other fleets?
I had no idea some of this was your stuff! Great to see someone taking advantage of your incredible skills  as I've previously wondered why more of your work isn't physically for sale. It is fantastic that this portion is!!

I didn’t do the Battlegroup Helios ships, but I’ve done most of the Cybershadows, Novan Elites, and Novan Mercantile ships available at Vanguard Miniatures.
As for the availability of my work, it’s one of the reasons why I’ve started selling some of my designs: https://cults3d.com/en/users/BitsBlitzDesigns/creations
I do hope to expand that range and hopefully also see physical versions of those models being sold.
