Everyone should use Flamers. And Meltas.

I’ve been spending too much time online. When I read this, my first thought was “There is no picture under his name!”

Turn2+ the assault marines, libby and raven arrive.
Its a pity I couldn't find the 60pts for hand flamers on the assault squad sarges.

oh i didnt realize it had a 12 side, my bad there lol, i thought it was a miss type in the thread.

No problem!

Sorry if I sounded a bit harsh. I get testy when someone talks smack about my beloved Hellhounds

For what it's worth, HH used to have a special rule (5th edition, perhaps?) that made all glancing hits into penetrating hits (Unstable Fuel or somesuch), so they were really hard to justify taking. Bombs on tracks... and not the good kind!

DoW

Haha no worries, i love the guard dont get me wrong ( i refuse to call em AM) i just dont feel they make a intersting flame army in the context of the tabletop game. Now fluff wise, have em in some trenches, now youre talkin haha.

No probs. I may actually dust my BA off and play it next match (with some proxied pods). Been playing CSM and Necrons too much lately.

Oh and the HG have 4meltas not 5, oops.

"I.... Am Khaela Mensha Khaine.".... So much awesome in that game.

If you want Codex Marines, either Sallies or FW Griffons (I think? I know FW has one) use a lot of flamers, both fluff-wise and rule-wise.

BA and CSM have their obvious benefits too. And SIsters. I mean, wow, that's a lot of fire.

All that said, who do you want to play?
-Noble craftsmen who can endure the flame? Sallies
-Hyper-aggressive zealots who drink blood? BA
-Even more depraved than BA? CSM
-Nuns with Guns? Sisters
(Not really sure what the Griffins have for fluff)

Howling Griffins? they run off ultramarine chapter tactics according to FW? You mean fire hawks? lol

Ok so i was thinking about it last night, with mass flamers, is there a marine army, whether chaos or loyalist, that can use a lot of flame for infantry but still have a strong cc presence to deal with clean up and things the flames wont burn?

If we are using a strong alpha strike or close to, to get us up in the enemy's face, flames to take troops, melta to take AV and some cc to keep from being shot at, wouldnt that be able to take on most armies relatively well?
