**Grimbold Blackhammer** :

I’m wondering how most folks place their Magma Cannon templates when they fire.&nbsp;&nbsp;I’ve been placing mine with the tip barely touching the second rank so that I’m almost always hitting something even with a bounce.&nbsp;&nbsp;Do most folks do it that way or do they go for the perfect hit/maximum coverage and then take the bounce (which can mean a total miss with a decent bounce)?

Maybe the best is 1 inch from the front of the unit, but depends of the depth of the targetting unit.
