Yeah, 10cm radius is much better for that effect, and much less expensive.
No, when a detachment fails their Morale check against Terror, or any other "at the beginning of Close Combat" effect, they do not immediately move away. They do take the -2 penalty to their CAF, but that is all. They only rout if that detachment was already on Fall Back orders when it failed the Morale check. See the rules for Morale on page 42 and also the "Broken units in Close Combat" optional rule on the same page.
There was a lengthy discussion some time ago while the edit run was being discussed for Gold about removing all uses of "Unit" from the rulebooks and replacing with "Detachment" and/or "Model/Stand" as appropriate, as a few people (me at the least) find "Unit" to be to ambiguous. As I recall, the majority of people in the discussion agreed that should be done, and Primarch said that he would do that. He then utterly failed to do that. Supposedly, he just forgot. In any event, I am still strongly in favor of avoiding ambiguous terminology whenever possible. Make the rules as clear as possible.
For Tower 3-7 I was assuming that "being transported" was the case, go good there.
Eye chart: 1-3 damaged, 5-6 destroyed. Slightly better, but what about 4? For the moment, I'm assuming that 4 is as per 1-3.
I am assuming that the base size is 6cm diameter, the same as 2nd edition Battle Titans. Per detachment moved over? Hmm, not sure how to value that. Guess I'll apply a "/2" for the moment.
Yeah, we do seem to have some different preferences. No worries.
Your use of asterisks to designate which abilities go to which weapons is inconsistent. Yes, the Wave does have ** next to it, but the Gaze does not have a * next to it. Nor does the Batteries have *** next to it, nor is that shown on the third page. Please make the usage consistent if that is your preferred method.
Oh, one other thing I noticed on the second page. The "Weapon" damage chart references a "Warp Bombard" but there is no such named weapon on the model. Presumably, this is the "Grief" mentioned on the first page.
With the adjustments listed above, the Formula cost for this model is reduced to 1919.06 which rounds to 1919. Still pretty hefty, but more manageable. Gold era cost could possibly come down to 800 or 850, but not sure.
As a design question, why make it a Greater Daemon? Tzeentch already has several such things, and this could work well enough without it, especially if it were changed from being a Titan to being a Praetorian. Then it could be a Special formation, rather than a Company as a Greater Daemon has to be.
