I agree with you there... the abstraction of titan weapons is a shame.
The differeces bewteen a LR and a Demolisher are: Speed, Range, Firepower
and Demoishers can Close Support.

Artillery is not available to an IG infantry detachemnt. That's for a
seperate detachment. THere is a difference between a Basilisk (HVY Arty)
and Bombard (Siege Arty). Support weapons in the exaple above are
Tarantulas, Rapiers, etc.

As in previous posts there is not coherency except for the 30cm. THe
example detachment would probably not fare well considering the units have
different strengths, but the detachment as a whole must be placed on the
same orders.
