Thunderfire Cannon is a Space Marine infantry unit that provides long-range barrage support and can clear tiles and repair vehicles.

Description

These colossal, quad-barrelled artillery guns are designed to excel in a static defence role. Each is capable of firing and reloading at a punishing rate, unleashing salvo after salvo of high explosive shells, pounding the enemy into oblivion. Only the brave or the foolish dare advance in the face of such overwhelming and obliterating firepower.
