Ok for those who actually has seen a Thunderfire cannon up close how big is it? Ok let me rephrase it: does a drop pod screen the cannon enough to count as obscured? Assume that the pod is between the enemy & the cannon.

Second while Apothicaries may not be veterans, & therefore not benefit from the options available to the rest of the squad, if a vet is upgraded to a company champ, does he no longer have the same options available anymore?

a drop pod will easily obscure a thunderfire cannon

Awesome. Hmm I'd be willing to deploy a Thunderfire if it got a 4+ save. Add that to the no cover mode, then no worries about the enemy getting a save boost & bolster defenses is nice too.

On the Company Champ, whats to stop you from upgrading his weapons then upgrading him further with the WS booost, power sword & shield?

Actually far as I know there is no rule saying you can't give the squad options to an "upgraded model" it just makes it a better target if the enemy has something with "Marksmen" in it's attributes.

Ah good. Thankfully there's only 3 ways I know of doing that (vindicare, Telion & mind war) so I'm not too worried.
