First thing: Its an apocolypse gun
Second, im bulding it slowly and carefully, as im a cheap and crafty dude. The base model for it is a conversion of a Hellhound and parts from a Redeemer.

The essentials to the gun is that it takes the best of the flamer category(Flamestorm cannon) Twin link it(re-roll failed wounds)
Then for the extra kicker: It fires four Plasma cannon shots, Can not get hot and ignores cover. Explanation as to why it ignores cover is that it Lobs a Wad of Slow burning promethium and plasma mixture which explodes in a large area.

Burst mode(flamestorm) Range: Template S:6 AP:3 Heavy one ignores cover
COncentrated(plasma) Range: 48 S:8 AP:2 Heavy 4 blast ignores cover

Also, the gun itself is 150 points.
I'm asking for feedback on if its too OP or needs a little more work.

I'd say just make it S6 AP3 if you are going to give it a blast mode (which you seem kind of set on), the promethium it lobs is still promethium, there is no reason for +2 S and +1 AP

and Blast 4 makes 0 sense, Blast 2 at the outside

If this thing is lobbing wads of promethium I don't get why it's suddenly Ap2. S8 Ap4 Ignores Cover would be more adequate, as well as Ap4 for the burst mode, Ap3 at the most.

GIve it the "Torrent" special rule >

thanks for the input, ive reworked it and shortened the range of the second firing option.
Burst fire: Template S6 AP 4 Ignores cover(still twin-linked)
Ranged shot: 36 inch range S6 AP 4 Heavy2

It adds a greater deal of balance so its not a " all Weapon", now it fulfills a more balanced role, which may be a good or bad thing.

as for the chassis rules, its following the current hellhound armor rating, except +1 armor to the front.
The way i see using this vehicle is a spearhead weapons platform, I pondered on giving it an IG version of the Space marine's Vindicator tanks Siege shield, but i dont know if its fair or is balanced.

the armor and cost stat line is as follows
F-S-R
13 12 10
200 points

im still deciding on the points cost, i think the end result, as its carrying this big heavy flame cannon thats a problem for most of the things itll be going against, the final point cost would be more around 300 points.
