After all, there's nothing quite so justified, proportional, and relevant as insinuating that someone has body-odor issues when they ask someone something as rude as to do something you consider trivial.

Regardless of the nomenclature, it would be interesting to see the difference against Frag Missiles and Heavy Bolters against the basic troops of all armies.

With regard to Plasma Cannons I'm inclined to consider them the Loyalist equivalent of an Autocannon - slightly more effective against heavy troops and slightly less effective against light vehicles.

I use the expression more for its "obsessive fan who coins new fan phrases and expects people to understand them" sense than its "too obsessed to bathe" sense. Obviously, right?

Well, the point that he made was in fact that since the toughness was the same the only difference would have been in the armour save. And since the HB and PC both peirce scouts and orcs armour it made little sense aside from the frag missile. Which only didn't beat the scouts armour though since they have only a 4+ save you simply have to divide by two....

Yes, as he said, it's trivial. It's often trivial for me to reach across a table and grab the salt, but I still ask fellow diners to pass it. Oddly enough some people seem to prefer that I ask. Still, some people believe in being polite in the face of rudeness... Crazy huh?

On topic: With regard to the Plasma Cannon, the Heavy Bolter, and the Frag Missile, the Plasma Cannon would wound on 2+ against Orks vs 3+ for the Heavy Bolter vs 4+ for the Frag Missile. All would deny saves. Against Sisters the Plasma Cannon only has the advantage of denying saves to the Heavy Bolter, and both easier to wound and denying armour saves to the Missile Launcher.

I'm not sure if I mentioned this earlier, but Plasma Cannons are also danged handy at discouraging those boring 9-Obliterator armies that seem so popular these days.
