3 things:
-Tempest laser is "crappy" against titan because it hasn't got the penetrating bonus (volcano have a +3 penetrating bonus, and that's a big difference for any titans/pretorians, try to kill a nurgle's plague tower or a leviathan without it !)
-Leader: In each imperial super heavy company you get a leader, that can advance in charge, and fire in first fire. That's pretty mean with a volcano canon that can move 20cm and fire before you move !
-3 detachment in one: in a shadowsword company you put a different order for each tank. Not for a "squadron".
Shadowswords are horribles titans hunters for this.
you are right, the penetraiting is the reason why the shadowswords should be cost more then the tempest. but not 400 points !!!! (if you compare 6 by 6)
