I play thousand sons and have several squads of Rubrics. However, all of mine pre-date 2006 so none of them have warpflamers. I was thinking of buying some bits and converting some Rubrics, but since that will be a bit of work and a pain to paint new weapons to get them to fit with old models, I was wondering what people have been using that seem effective. I was thinking in a squad of 10 maybe 2 for counter charge? Or has anyone used a big squad of like 9 all with flamers? Any help would be appreciated. .

I run 4 units of 5 no flamers in 2 rhinos
The thing is if the guy is 8.00001" away flamers don't get to shoot and a 8" charge is so ez to get with a reroll

Also running in rhinos seems to be a must as they are so slow and it helps with drops to try and go 1st

I say 1 flamer per 5. So in a group of 10, you'll have the Soulreaper Cannon and two flamers for potential Overwatch protection.

They also cost a lot of points
