Anyone else missing the use of their old Armorcast Cauldron of Blood? I sure am! The old one was 350 points, 2 SP (6 HP), AV14/13/13, and inflicted D6 S10 hits on a tank shock and another D6 if they Death or GLoried (much like a DeffRolla I think). And the Hellstorm was S7/AP3. Any psyker casting a spell on it auto suffers a Perils of the Warp whether or not the power works (Runes of the Blood God).

Pretty neat, but for current use I was thinking more like this:

640 points
6 Hull Points, AV14/13/13
Daemon, It Will Not Die, Daemonforge, Runes of the Blood God
Hellstorm, Torrent, S6/AP2
Destroyer Prow: the Cauldron of Blood adds +2 to its Thunderblitz rolls, and its Kerr-runch hits are resolved at AP3.

So it's a hefty points jump but is in line with the Lord of Skulls, though lacks the range of it. And the new Thunderblitz rules are pretty fun, seems like something a Khorne Daemon Engine would do as often as possible. With that gigantic blade on the front, I feel the +2 and AP3 is warranted, especially given the points increase, which is 8x80

What say y'all?

I like it, you haven't gone over the top unlike most Apocalypse creations people come up with, but I feel like it's missing something for 640 points. I'd pay around 400, 500 maximum for it.

Hmmm, how about having 8 Hull Points? Or two firing modes for the cannon, the Torrential gout of flaming blood, or it could fire as a 48" S8/AP2 Armorbane small 3" blast? Like a concentrated blob of molten bloody brass?
