Running a Vulkan led, 5 man Sternguard squad in a Razorback, with 2x combi-meltas.
Do I take a Combi-Flamer or a Heavy Flamer?

In my day if we wanted a 4+ save we had to spend the points on a displacer field.

Combi. Why would you ever want to give up a Sternguard Bolter?

Id take the heavy flamer. Stuff gets killed so fast in this game often the 1st shot is the only one that counts.

Not another Vulkan enthusiast...
Take a third combi melta. 2 shots doesnt always cut it. 4 is overkill. 3 is perfect. And go with the heavy flamer. Losing 2 special ammo shots isnt too bad when you consider when you consider how good the HF is.

And put it in a rhino and trade 5 points for a mobile heavy flamer or double melta!

If they are in a razorback, they'll only ever shoot once if at all. In that case, the heavy flamer is better.
