Yeah, you're right about this one...I just wanted to avoid the Land Raider
syndrome. Perhaps I wanted to avoid it a bit too much. ;)

Well, these fit in in other ways. (Which you couldn't know, because I
didn't post them) I'm planning on having a Devestation, minus the turrets,
as a Aircraft Carrier (with the Starfighter minis they make). The
Starfighters would be guided to targets out-of-LOS by the Monarchs. The
stats would be something like...

TT01 Devestation/'Behemoth' variant (War Engine)
15cm 30cm 1FP 3 4dmg Carries 5 Starfighters:

Flyer 15cm 1FP 1/1 3+ ?Barrage?

Total Points: Hmm, 125? Not really sure how this one would work out (this
race will have air-superiority fighters, these would be for ground attack.
I don't know if the SFs should be given barrage.)

A SHV is 110pts. I figure plus 1 assault, and 45cm for the secondary
weapons is worth at least 15...right? Maybe not... Check that...just
reviewed the SHVs. Revised Stats as follows:
MV Range FP Assault Armour Dmg Special Cost
15cm 60cm 2*Deathray 5 6 4 (Forward turret, Fire Arc Front)
        45cm 4FP (Second turret, Fire Arc all-round)

Now, maybe 120pts? The only SHVs with 2*Deathrays. Actually, only vehicles
with 2*Deathray. I said they were preliminary ;)
