Seems like mass thor could be sick strong. They're cost effective vs. almost every protoss unit. Couple them with vikings & hellions and seems sick strong.

the one issue i would say it they are big and clunky, and thus, don't scale well vs the other protoss units. If you can respond to them well, with immortal, zealot, their slow movement, inability to micro, and large radius means they can be killed off somewhat easily. Also, because they are slow, any type of drop or warp-in harass becomes much more effective, and they allow the protoss to build up units.

I however saw an interesting marine thor, cannon all in, vs tyler. The guy used the 250mm cannon, on the colossus of tyler, and since it stuned them, it was super effective. However, because of poor micro, and not expanding, (also, not enough marines), the T lost.

seems pretty risky to do a thor/marine allin. Maybe with stim + strike cannon or with hellions accompanying it. My main fear would be zealot/immortal protected by guardian shield.
