The plan is tu put normal sternguard, flamer sternguard, ashmantle, the liby and He'stan into the stormraven.
Drop them into melee range, use flamecraft on the Sternguard to burn everything.

The liby stay with Ashmantle for the buff and try to challenge ccmonster.

Any advice?

I would love to hear how this turns out for you. I would be really worried about putting all those units into the Stormraven, it seems it would be a big blinding Beacon of "Shoot ME!" To me. Especially if you don't get first turn.

Other than that it seems troop light but definitely weapon heavy (this is not a bad thing). Your list may have issues with fast melee specialists, anything that can get a good charge outside 8" will render your overwatch flamers useless, or something that doesn't care about them as well like a rhino charging the sternguard then khorne beserkers charging in after once they can't overwatch. And once that happens it may not end well.

Who do you expect to play this against? Or is it an all comers list? Trying not to be negative with it, would love to know how it turns out. I am also a Salamander player and I love my flamers as well, but on sternguard I like to take them pure special issue bolters, just because they are so good.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply, didn't think about the rhino charge you are right, maybe I put too much in the Stormraven but I don't know how to move Ashmantle... where do you put flamer in a Salamanders list?

It is a all comers list I guess

I may not be a normal salamander player myself but I run 4 tactical squads of 5, each with a single heavy weapon (sometimes plasma cannons, sometimes missile launchers) and a srg with combi flamer. I use them as area denial for deep strikers and then objective takers on my side of the board. It works well enough, one game I lost an entire squad to a wave of genestealers who charged from 9" out and got it so flamer was a waste, same game a wounded carnifex tried to charge another squad and the flamer killed it on the charge.

I am a big fan of the small Biker flamer / dual flamer land speeders. 3 bikers, 2 with flamers and srg with combi flamer are fast enough to get close to an enemy horde and between the flamers and then bikes bolters do some serious damage, and with 3 flamer land speeders if you do get charged you can just fly away and then flame them again.

As for ashmantle its going to be a target anyways so I would either run it up the board with a tech priest behind it repairing or do what your doing.

Do you use any transport for the tacticals squad or just camping at home?

Camp at home. I plan on getting them razor backs when I find some cheap options to get some, but for now it's camp and shoot.

And what about this? Could be fun
I call this list : A astarte of ice and fire.
