Is Bolt Thrower ever an optimal choice?

[Lampros]

It seems like the worst artillery in the game?

I got them for free when I confederated one Dwarf faction, got like 6 of them, but havent used it yet im guessing they would be good against cavalry?....not too sure how it would work firing through thick ranks of infantry though. I think I'd rather have a Grudge thrower or two to be honest. Maybe even a Flame cannon.

Flame cannons have been made redundant by the buffed Irondrakes. They're nigh OP at the moment.

Yeah but Im gonna need them soon in my campaign, wiped out the orcs & moving up to take on Vampire Counts (I think they are soft targets to fire weapons?) Anyway, that's about the only thing I would use them for.

I, Cato Sicarius, proclaim it to be the ONLY choice.

Meh, you just gotta limit the ammunition and its fine, see Eagle Riders.

There is a huge difference between flying archers and flying artillery. Artillery can do far more damage than archers, and it becomes a massive problem if you can't rush and shut it down fast the way you can with regular artillery. Also, flying artillery means you won't have to worry about obstacles.

Thank you. I, Cato Sicarius, believe that I, Cato Sicarius am the best candidate for Chapter Master as there is no more glorious Captain of the Ultramarines ( YOUR Spiritual Leige ) than I, Cato Sicarius.
