WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv
5 2 5 5 3 4 4 8 4

Special Rules
Mob rule, Furious charge, Waaagh, Asplode, King of da flame

Asplode: if Arsonist dies in close combat, the opposing player rolls a dice, if a 1 is rolled the arsonists fuel tanks explode, place a small blast template over arsonist head, any caught in the blast takes a str 4 hit.

King of da flame, the arsonist is immune to all types of flame weapons, you may take burnas as troop choices

Wargear

Heavy kombi flamer: The arsonist most valuable weapon, it allows the flamer to be shot more than once per game.
Range Str AP type
Template 5 3 assault1

Da flaming Big Choppa : A big Choppa modified to spilt fire out of the grinding metal teeth of his choppa, It gives him 2+ to strength and counts as a power weapon

looks fair enough to me. he might be a bit overpriced, but that'll just let him be more widely accepted.

The flamer should be AP4, like all other heavy flamers.

I was going to say that, but its really not THAT bad, considering his points cost, and the fact that he only has a 4+ armor save.

actually, on second thought, i'd drop his +2 str bonus on the sword to a +1 modifier... giving him str8 on the charge striking at initiative is slightly crazy.

Abbaddon, for 25 points more, can do that, with more attacks, without using furious charge, rerolling to-wound rolls, at WS7,and I6.

and i've always maintained abaddon is overpowered.

All right then so he now cost 225 pts and now has a str 4 heavy flamer and 1+ for the choppa making him str 7 on charge.

Oh and Abbaddon is overpowered

do you mean ap4? str4 would be a bit too hard of a nerf.

and 225 sounds MORE than fair for this character.

I like it. I don't think the +2 str on the choppa is over powered, you get waaay stronger carnifexs for around that point cost,(or ghazzie). I think the most overpowered thing about him is burnas as troops. Thats alot of power weapons in an ork army, not redunkulous though.

I will make a model for this guy soon.

Do you live anywhere near spokane? I totally wanna play against this, just to see it in action. Can't wait to see the model, what is he supposed to look like? any fluff to give us clues? It doesnt seem to mention his appearance in the orky codex.

I live in CA and i have no clue where spokane is, sorry. As for the appearance the fluff says that he is a semi-mythical figure. Thats all i have to work with so i guess i will use a metal warboss body, give him a backpack full of oil drums and gas canisters that connect to his gun and choppa, a awesome looking gas mask, and his skin will be grey.

i will have a thread on the creation of this model soon.

The best way to find Spokane is to look for the only city in on the eastside of washington that has more than just a gas station or two. You cant miss it, its medium sized, super polluted river, has no jobs excpet nurses, which only like 3 of em live here, and its got a completly underserved, inflated sense of self importance. God i hate my hometown lol.


Any particular reason your making the skin grey? I like the oil drums on his back, that's totally how i picture him. Maybe some grots running around his base with their heads on fire?

Hey,

id love to be a test dummy for this guy! I live in Riverside but I work Newport...I could make it out to Irvine if you needed an army to playtest against!!

Hit me up and let me know!

You know if any thing I would say make the 'Asplode rule more likely to go off. It's fun and not overly powerful.

Underpriced. i will show you why, although if your friends want it high to let you play, ignore this.

First:
Warboss Base Stats, with basically Eavy Armour and a Bork Body, and the Burna as Troop rule=75

Asplode-meh, probably around 10 Points, as its like a frag missile but with no ap

King of the Flame-10-15 points, lets go with 15

Super-Kombi Skorcha-A regular Combi-Scorcha is 5 Points, but this is always working, so 15

Flaming Choppa-20 Points, as its a power weapon with +1 Str

So more of around 135

Original Flaming Choppa wasn't that bad. Big Choppas are +2 S, and they're only 5 points, though they are two-handed weapons.

Is the Flaming Choppa a 1 or 2-handed weapon?

The flaming choppa is a one handed weapon.

His Heavy Flamer is assault so he wouldn't get +1 attack anyway

225 pts a bit expensive for someone you can instantly kill with a meltagun. what is his save(if he has one)
