Hi, got a rules/tactic question.

If I put a squad of 3x Land Speeders together with heavy flamers, and want to use the stratagem Flamecraft, that affects 1 unit, does it affect 1 land speeder or all 3 that are in the squad?

Also, does the squad need to stay within 6inches of each other?

The codex doesn't seem to mention that they act as separate units anymore, but I might be wrong.

Thanks

If they are bought as a unit it is just like any other marine squad. unless they have some rule that says they can break apart like the old dreadnought talons then they have to stay together as a unit.

If the flamecraft rule says it affects the "unit" then yes it would work on all land speeders in the "unit" .

All 3 Land Speeders for ma single unit and are thus all affected

They all must stay within 2 inches of each other for coherency

They do not act as separate units.

Thank you for your advice.
Glad we all agree.

However my friend says having 2x heavy flamers on a landspeeder is not allowed as codex only says you can replace the heavy bolter with a multi melta but battlescribe lets me have 2x heavy flamers.
Anyone got any advice on this issue?

I believe double flamer land speeders are an index option so they're okay if your opponent agrees to play with them but it probably won't fly in a tournament,
