Land Raider Terminus Ultra

I am a SM simp, and one day I woke up and realized that SM late game vehicles are all transports. This, coupled with the fact that SM uber l8 game is limiting in terms of production (maximum 1 infantry, 1 vehicle, 1 aircraft and 1 hero output per turn) compared to other factions which can have multiple cities, I decided that if SM makes units out of their singular city, it BETTER be so dope that it can compete with superheavies like Baneblades or Scorpions toe to toe. Plus, I hate seeing empty transports not using it's transport ability (opportunity cost and all that), hence, this monstrosity was born.

To be honest, SM doesn't really need range 3 powerhouses because they have dev. centuribears, but because I have no modelling experience I decided to make a land raider variant, because boxes look similar to other boxes. I personally treat this monstrosity as a slightly better centurion that is dogwater against fodder and GEQ's, and with power of machine spirit and hammer of wrath (to rulebook compliant fanboys: cope and seethe) it also has great on-demand burst damage, and most importantly is tanky as a land raider. This thing ultimately eats heavies, superheavies, heroes, bases, ur mother's ass, etc.

To respect such awesome power, I have "balanced" this thing by making it expensive; yes, it is locked behind land raider tech. Yes, it does benefit from additional meltagun tech. Yes, it benefits from hammer of wrath. Which is why it costs 200 req, has a 10 req upkeep, and most importantly costs whopping 80 production- for comparison, land raider is 160 req, has a 8 req upkeep, and costs 60 production.

Strategy: Do not "beeline" for this unit in the game. This unit is meant to be made when you have excess production stocked up in your armouries (like 40+ saved up) and don't want to let it sit there and rot all game- 90% of the time, for most units in the game 1 devastator centurion and 1 finisher unit can probably kills most non-superheavy units out there. Instead, the best way to use this unit is to use it to assault superheavies and bases due to it's on-demand high anti-armour burst damage from hammer of wrath (+25% dmg) and wrath of machine spirit (+2 accuracy), and do the jobs that normal dev. centurions can't do because they are relatively fragile.

Specific Stats:
Has HP, armor, and movement of a land raider.

Costs 200 Req, 80 production and has 10 req upkeep. Locked behind Land Raider Tech.

Weapon Loadout:
3-twin linked lascannons
2-lascannons
1-multi melta (locked behind Multi Melta Tech).

Abilities:
Hammer of Wrath (locked behind Hammer of Wrath Tech).
Wrath of the Machine Spirit.
Smokescreen (locked behind Smokescreen Tech).

Ultimately, I hope you have fun with this thing. It's my first mod I ever made, and if you have any advice (especially coding) do post below!
