Justification / Modifications:
Get one level of Chain Lightning early and use it to Last Hit and Harass at the same time (at level 2+).
I don't bother with maxing Chain Lightning, but you can if you like to. By the time you get level 14 (lvl 4 CL) its kinda ineffective for farming already and i feel i get more from stats.
Lane Starting Items:
Upgraded Flying Courier, Runes of the Blight, 2x Mana Potion
Core:
Bottle >> (Power Supply >>) Marchers >> Talisman of the Exile >> Wards of Sight
You don't need stats to start of as your lasthitting is pretty terrible anyways. Eiter drive the enemy back so you have free reign over the creeps or use level 1 Chain Lightning for Last Hitting as explained above. You can start with a naked bottle but imo it is a lot better to get the flying courier who can bring you mana potions and who can easily refill your bottle at the founain.
After Core:Ghost Marchers >> Portal Key >> Staff of the Master >> Kuldra's Sheepstick
Why Ghost Marchers? His Movespeed of 295 is among the slowest in the game. To gank he needs to come into range for his Blast. Also Blast has a very short cooldown and the boots allow you to effectively chase someone for that last cast. And finally the +damage helps your farming a lot more than attack speed.
Keep Buying Wards or at least help buying them.
Portal Key and Staff of the Master are widely regarded as the best items to get for TB. Portal Key allows him to operate on the edge of teamfights, abusing his long range abilities and allowing him to quickly dart in/away when needed (short: gives him the mobility he needs).
Staff not only increases the damage but also improves the cooldown of his Ulti, making it useful for initiation and even scouting possible gank set-ups.
Alternative Items:
- Sacrificial Stone: If you don't like PK or SotM and still want survivability.
- Tablet of Command: The poor man's Portal Key. (J/k, its a great alternative and depends on your game).

30-Seconds-Guide:
- Start nuking with Blast of Lightning at level 3. If you run low on mana bring more Mana Potions with your flying courier.
- Get a bottle asap, use the flying courier to check runes and send the courier to refill the bottle if you don't get enough runes.
- Last hitting and denying is secondary with Thunderbringer. Play aggressive and keep up high pressure.
- As soon as you have ghost Marchers get ready to gank other lanes.
- If there's an invisible hero that's in the area, use Lightning Blast on a random creep to reveal the area. If the invis player is bad, chances are he won't even notice.
- Blast of Lightning has a Ministun.
- Use Lightning Storm before you die, even if it doesn't kill! Better even, use it at the start of teamfights to prevent Portal Key surprises and to give you an early advantage.
Counters:
- If you lane against Thunderbringer get a Mystic Vestment ASAP! Upgrade it later if you can/need to.
- Use your courier to bing a lot of regen items to your lane. If you need to go back to heal more than once early game he will outlevel you and you will have even more problems.
- Consider skilling stats if you can with your hero.
