3. The unit still goes down easy to anything with AP1/2 or a high rate of fire. Cover helps, but they are still very very fragile. Remember that any glancing or penetrating hit that gets through cover kills the Canon.
Cover doesn't just help, it's the Thunderfire cannon's only defense. That's why determining how it gets cover is important, and why the Techmarine with Bolster Defenses is an excellent complement.

Simon, your reasoning seems solid to me.

It helps. But you're still more likely to kill a Thunderfire Canon with cover with a Lascannon than you are to kill a marine with cover.

Yeah, but lascannons are overpriced.  ;)

I can't promise anything, but it's been mentioned in a serious context more than once.

I suppose profits from the alcohol sales would offset the losses on store purchases from the underage crowd that wouldn't be able to enter.

of course getting a liqueur license might prove difficult and some gamers would need designated drivers for the game store now lol
