Or maybe you suck with marines.

Back on topic. I generally never use combi. I'd rather spend a few points and put camo cloaks or something then buy a combi. Like someone said earlier too expensive for one gak

no, i hit like 5 whatevers, i just don't kill any.

Poor rolling? combi-flamers can be nice when paired with a flamer and a rhino for the drive-by barbecue.

But I would say the combi-melta is the best. There are tons of situations where your squad might need some close range vehicle-popping power.

i must correct my previous post. yesterday i killed 5 nids with a single shot. go for flamers!
But i still prefer melta to plasma to flamer
