It's roastin' time! I was wanting to make a flamercide Sternguard squad, and wondered what the other races' equivalents were. Write up the squad layout along with any transports or characters that would make it work better!

For SM;
Salamander CT
Vulkan He'Stan
10-man Sternguard squad
2 Heavy Flamers
8 Combi-Flamers
Land Raider Redeemer

CSM;
9-man Chosen squad
5 Flamers
Combi-Flamer
Sorcerer
Burning Brand of Skalathrax
Land Raider or Rhino as points allow
Combi-Flamer

Militarum Tempestus
Command Squad
4x Flamer

Ler's see what you can come up with!
(P.S. I like capitalizing weapons)

**Skanktastic**

Dark eldar

1 Hamonc
Liquifier gun
Web way portal

10 Grotesques
10 liquifier guns

Perfect deep strike in and lay waste with a 50 percent chance to roll enough AP to disintigrat marines.

**MarsNZ**

Callidus Assassin is pretty good

**talljosh85**

Sisters

Dominion Squad in an Imolater w TL HF
4x Flamers
1x Combi-flamer on the Sister Superior w/ melta bombs

**unfassbarnathan**

15 burna boys in a battlewagon.

I was waiting for burna boyz to show up

Didn't know how they'd be best implemented, though. Aren't battlewagons open topped, so you can stay inside and do a drive by immolation?

Battlesuit Commander
-Shield Generator
-Stimms
-Flamer
-Flamer
Crisis Bodyguard x5

Yeah, just put the flamer template next to the battlewagon, hit 6 or 7 models and multiply by 15. Even 2+ armour won't save you there

No way, take a Retributor Squad with Heavy Flamers!

And a combi with simulacrum in drop pod.

**Jimsolo**

Salamander assault marines.

5 man team in a drop pod, 2 flamers. <100 points.

**talljosh85**

I completely forgot about rets after the new codex came out, but 4x HF in a drop pod would be nasty

**Johnson101**

Elysian D-99 Extermination Veteran Squad:

10 Veteran guardsmen with 10 heavy flamers

and two breaching charges mounted in a Valkyrie.

No offensive but I think they win with the squad that can take the most flamers

Don't have the matching transport though...

**Coyote81**

Farsight Bodyguard Crisis Suits x7 with 1x flamers/1x Twinlinkerflamer each Joined by a Crisis Suit Commander with 2x Twinlinked flamer.

If that hot enough for ya?

Aye, if SoB could take drop pods somehow. :-(

But in any case remember to add in a Ministorum Priest, he can have a combi-flamer too in addition to the Sister Superior's. So six flamer templates on an alpha strike, plus the Immolator's TL Hflamer.

Umm... A normal commander cant have 5 bodyguards. Farsight can have up to 7 bodyguards, Normal commanders can only have 2 bodyguards.

While this does work, Fire Hawks Chapter Tactics would allow for the Sergeant to purchase a Hand Flamer as well for more template shenanigans, along with everything being at +1S to boot. That's at 100 points compared to 95.

**Robisagg**

No love for flamers of tzeench?

Sorry. Don't have a codex. Working off memory.

Yeah, Eldar don't use Flamers.

Wraithguard!

Sisters, probably Ret's in a drop pod, or scouting Dominions.

Elysians, hard to beat a plain ol' Veteran Squad.

**Furyou Miko**

I thought Fire Dragons could swap for Flamers? Or is that just the Exarch? I know Storm Guardians used to be able to take Flamers.

Sisters, it has to be the Retributor squad. Rending Heavy Flamers.

Runners up would be the Command Squad for an extra Heavy Flamer at the loss of Rending, or the Seraphim with their four Shred hand flamers.

**Pathfinder Shaun**

Eldar;

Spiritseer (hope to roll destructor)

Multiple units of Wraithguard w/D-Scythes

Wraithlord with dual flamers

Also, storm guardians can still take 2 flamers per unit, and the Fire Dragon Exarch can take a heavy flamer for free, which with the new rules can actually be quite devastating to a low AV open-topped transport lol
