What about for non-HQ, non-Terminator units?
Is there ever a valid time to give them Thunder Hammers?

My Tyranids love when someone thinks a PF is going to save them.......

TH however has killed SwarmLord :(

As pointed out the thunder hammer is well worth the extra points on the right model... Simply because of all the monstrous creatures we see now. A SM HQ such as the CM greatly benefits from having a concussive melee weapon but on the other hand due to the challenge it's often not worth taking even a power fist on say a sergeant in a squad of tactical Marines.
