Chariot Riders get relentless now.
Exalted Flamer is a Herald HQ choice for 50 points that can take a chariot for 50 points.
Exalted flamers have a choice of 2 weapons, an 18" d3 shot lascannon (Str 9 AP2) or a Str 5 AP 3 torrent Flamer.
Neither weapon is a psychic power, so can't be denied, and you get to fire that lovely marine killing template in overwatch too.
Anything on a chariot can jink, tzeentch allows re-rolls of any saving throw of a 1. Everyone gets a 4+ re-rollable cover save.
You still have your 5++ (with re-roll 1's) if required.
You can allocate hits to the chariot or the rider. You are now immune to lasguns.
Your chariot is Fast, enjoy your extra movement before flat outing on the 1st turn for tactical advantage.
Requires interpretation if you can move 12" and still fire a weapon as you are no longer a passenger, but a rider now. If so, you may now deep strike and fire your weapon.

You may also take up to 20 points of rewards for the heavy support choices, and 30 points for the HQ choices.

Hahaha, fantastic

Yeah, between the STR 9 AP 2 blue fire and the STR 5 or whatever AP 3 pink fire you can take on all targets and ignore most cover and armor saves, all while getting some good jink saves. I'm excited to hear how this does!

I'm not sure where you found this. The exalted flamer as HQ choice from the Faq does not have permission to take a chariot, nor indeed any gifts.

And.. it sounds like it has potential, but as still no-one is taking a burning chariot, perhaps they are still not a good choice. at least they work ...

Wave serpent Spam with rape your face with ignore cover. Even if you look out sir to your chars they will die from weight of dice. 3 serpents can out maneuver you and take out 3 a turn. With the new rules of fire one weapon at a time all the have to do is kill the rider then the chariot. You need some psychic buffs on those things. Also the troop choice department is sparse. I like the ideas for the list though. Needs some diversification I think.

You either need some FA like puppies to get into the opponents face quick to take some heat off those chariots, or you need to spam more AV from allied CSM or something.

It's an interesting start, though.
