So, I've heard a few folk singing the praises of heavy flamers in SoB squads. Why?! You have to stay stationary to fire them? Am I missing something?

Do check their profile in the brb.

And,
Heavy flamers, despite the "heavy" in their name are actually assault weapons, just like assault cannons not actually being assault but heavy.

They're awesome, and no, you don't have to be stationary to fire them.
4 S5 AP4 Templates with rending are pretty dang awesome.

Yeah I mistook them for Heavy 1 when that are actually Assault weapons. Only realized it recently.

And with the addition of the new promethium relay's, you can fire them as torret flamers if you do stand still.

GW, rocking Keywords since... uh... never...

You're not the first and you certainly won't be the last to mistake Heavy Flamers for being heavy weapons.

I didn't use them for the longest time because of this.

Good lord! Thanks!
