Would it be more worthwhile for a 10-man Storm Guardian Squad with two Flamers to have an Enhance or a Destructor Warlock? Pretend that the unit getting flamed is "Doom"ed. Enhance would help when being assaulted too, whereas Destructor wouldn't.

Destructor.

Storm Guardians are not assault monsters. They really should never ever ever be in assault. GW just gave them CC weapons for giggles. The only reason you are taking storm guardians is for 3x Flame template doom goodness.

Add Waveserpent to taste.

I like to use Enhance when combined with 20-man squads (plus the Avatar to make them Fearless). This makes them actually good at taking down smaller squads, since they go before almost everything. If they get the charge off, they can take out 3-4 MEQs before any attacks back. Doom turns that to 5 MEQ.

10-man squads work better as template-suicide. 2 flamers + destructor is pretty harsh on hordes, even MEQs will be hurt badly.

Cool, thanks. This makes a lot more sense. Honestly the flamers made a lot more sense to me on BS3 models. I've had fun with Chaos Havoc squads with 4x flamers and combi-flamer too

Enhance if you want the Storm Guardians to enter cc.

However, I'd give the Warlock destructor and the Stormies two flamers. This unit mounted in a Serpent is very good for horde control.
