Horus Heresy 3e Review: Cerberus Heavy Tank Destroyer

Warpstone Flux Rating: 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4/5 stars. A mobile neutron laser battery to be feared!

Background.
When the legions needed a mobile neutron laser battery, they mounted it on a land raider and applied lots of radiation shielding to prevent people dying from the exotic radiation. Even so, the crews of these vehicles rarely last more than a decade before some "re-building" is required. Despite the horrific toll that it incurs, the legions' calculus makes this tank destroyer more than worth fielding. 

Strengths. 
The neutron laser battery is one of the most potent available. It has 3 shots at S=10 that each cause 3 damage at AP=2. To add to its tank destroyer role, there's also armourbane. Ordnance on D is helpful as is shock.

Beyond this, it is AV=14 (with 13 on the rear) and a solid 12 hull points. 

I'd probably take las cannon sponsons here as well. 

Weaknesses. 
Overload is built in and it moves at 10 inches. 

Naturally, it also explodes.

Builds.
Cerberus with las cannon sponsons (420 points).
Although hunter killer missiles are available, they probably won't quite be worth it here.
