A bad precedent. I have always argued that the Riptide should be a vehicle and not an MC.

I feel the same way, Dan. Calling a Riptide a MC is not very logical. A Dreadnaught should be called a MC before a Riptide. But.........GW. :)
The imperium doesn't have monsters, it has tanks.
Facing two of those in 1500 points will be fun
Maybe I'm jaded by all the crazy stuff out there but I am not impressed.
I think it's fine, probably costed appropriately and not over the top OP.
Being able to fire twice is pretty nutty but those guns are not that scary. It also highly depends on what the ignore cover situation in the new book is.
I dislike this thing.
I like the concept of the main cannon. The model itself looks hilarious but in an awesome likable way.
But potentially 62 Str5 + 4 Str9 Large Blasts is really dumb. Its like they never got player feedback about broadsides. Having nigh immobile units with horrific amounts of high str shooting is god awful to play against with conventional armies.
Also they can be taken in squadrons of 3 dear lord. that is actually really scary for a super heavy....
I imagine that they will have Split Fire, as well.
