Does the Hellstorm gun on the LRR benefit from Vulcan's Chapter Tactics? I didn't think so since it's not technically a flamer or heavy flamer, I thought it was kinda it's own thing. However, I see the LRR included in most of the Vulcan lists. Or is it choosen because it's fluffy?

**Mr. Self Destruct**

Working as intended.
Vulkan's rules specifically point out 'flamers, heavy flamers and (whatever variety of meltagun, can't remember), etc etc,' never mentioning Flamestorm cannons.

**Mannahnin**

It's not included, and the went ahead and put that in the FAQ to try to stop people asking.

Yeah, it's mostly in there because it's fluffy. And because it makes a nice transport for assault terminators (whom Vulkan makes better by master crafting their thunder hammers) and a character or two (Vulkan and/or a Librarian with Null Zone).

Helps cram a couple points I suppose, nice and fluffy.

A LLR with Multi-Melta cost the same as a LR. Since your normally moving 12 to get the hammers into the fight you only get to shoot 1 thing anyways. Since the MM is now T/L it is a much more effective tank killer than the LasCannon. The Flamestorm is nice because you are killing MEQ on a 2+ with no save.
I recently snookered a Death Company unit into Raging on the LRR. I'd move a bit and flamed his guys while shooting a speeder with the melta. The remaining Death-Dudes chased me down (but can't hurt me). I moved a few more inches, flamed the rest dead and still got to pop a Rhino with the melta.
