Neither does the Bastion.

This. You might want to check your rule entry for that pen result again. Also, do the math-hammer on it, or look back a few pages, at how hard it is for a dedicated anti-tank unit to kill it.

How many models can you fit onto the roof of various base sizes?

Personally i dont think too highly of the possibility to "bring your own cover" in form of the fortifications, its a lovely idea but it could have done better and more interesting if the gametypes werent so damn monotone.

But personally as a Tau with a love for hammerheads, i am more drawn to the skyshield for a 4+ Invul for my hammerhead on top and then have another squad up there with him depending on the map, and you can hide under it to block LOS from pesky fliers.

The bastion is just a very high bunker, if you have a unit that you dont want to die for only 75 points, hell its worth it if you ask me, not everyone have the ability to bring AV14 to the table.

If I was looking to use the Relay, I think it might be safer on the top of the Bastion instead of behind the ADL.
That said, do you have to place the purchased gun or equipment on the roof?
