Flyswatter Autocannon: Same point cost and profile as autocannons, but hits air units at BS value and ground targets BS1.

Heavy Flamer team: Same cost as Mortar/heavy bolter. One guy holding the nozzle the other pushing a wheeled fuel tank. Has the following profiles:

Sweep: Str 5 AP4 template range 6" assault (functions like hellhound)

Concentrated: Str 5AP4 template assault each model under template is hit twice.

On overwatch it can deliver D6 str 5 AP4 hits.

Multi-Melta: Cost same as Missile Launcher. In assault, the team may sacrifice the Multimelta to get a single Meltabomb attack.

I would take dozens of heavy flamer teams and never lose a game ever.

That is, I feel you're greatly undervaluing the power of your heavy flamer team. I'd price it at 15 points at least, and perhaps 20 points if that proved to be too cheap!

Or make it explode in large blast when "killed" ?

Let me guess you play against fliers and horde armies alot and lose? lets add anti marine too! Assault 6 plasma gun with no overheat because there holding icepacks in there hands!!

on second thought that sounded kinda rude lol sorry

@Overlord; The autocannon is fine imo; sacrificing groundfire for skyfire looks like it's going to be costed the same in 6e. The multimelta might also be fine because of heavy on infantry and 24", but could warrant Lascannon costs or more if it became trouble.

The flamer is the only really overpowered thing. A lot of people underestimate flamers for some reason.

I honestly see no reason for all of the special rules. Just have a heavy flamer team be a regular heavy flamer, and a multi-melta team be a regular multi-melta.

In regards to the multimelta, I'm impartial/leaning toward agreeing; torrent 6" on dual flamer team is fun and makes sense given the context it was proposed in (basically firemen, but with prometheum instead of water; GEDDIT?)

I just think it needs a bigger pricetag.
