Firestorm Blaster(Edit: Downgraded strength to be on par with traditional flamers....sortof)

S6 | AP1 | Assault 1 | Template | Melta, Gets Hot!

(if you can cover 50% of a vehicle with the template, then you take the extra penetration dice, if however you score hits on units that are not vehicles, then you get no extra penetration dice on the vehicle. (if it's in question as to 50% or not, subtract one from the extra pen dice roll)

Positives: A STRENGTH 7 FLAMETHROWER! This thing is like a plasma cannon only close ranged....really close ranged. If you want to use it on a tank though, you have to do this weird dance to try and cover as much of the tank as you can, but even at one less S than the meltagun, melta along with AP1 means that it will still destroy most tanks you point it at.

And now the downside, you have to get close to use a weapon like this. Still, a gun like this would be great for armies that don't want to be in CC too much, like Tau or SoB. "Oh, you want to get into assault range? EAT MICROWAVE FLAMES HAHAHAHA!"

Obviously, this gun's cost would have to be on-par with the plasma-cannon (20-30 pts I believe), but it can't be so expensive that noone would want to take it.

There, a totally silly gun, discuss ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256056/965881.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256056/965881.page GMT Gun idea: Melta Template? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256056/965949.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256056/965949.page GMT Gun idea: Melta Template? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256056/965964.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256056/965964.page GMT Gun idea: Melta Template? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256056/990977.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256056/990977.page GMT Gun idea: Melta Template?

Roll a Die simply because of the Get's Hot rule, just like a Plasma Cannon.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256056/992403.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256056/992403.page GMT Gun idea: Melta Template?

It could also be a Space Marine apocalypse formation for a heavy weapon team. 100 points, must take a ten man squad, two troops get melta flamers, two troops get heavy flamers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256056/1011178.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256056/1011178.page GMT Re:Gun idea: Melta Template?
It does make sense after all, don't you think a 30 foot heat ray should be able to kill more then one guy.

I mean it's a constant beam not a single shot situation.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256056/1011464.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256056/1011464.page GMT Gun idea: Melta Template?

A tau fire warrior Actually I donno, in hindsight the idea seems a bit silly, even to me. Maybe it could be dropped to s6, but keep the AP1 and melta, it'd be really nasty even then.

I like the facing idea, covering both ends of the hull makes a little sense

@Grey Templar: Actually, a meltagun isn't a "30 foot heat wave" it's a concentrated microwave beam (a weapon the military is currently experimenting with :O Right now the microwave gun leaves a burn on the target person's skin about the size of a penny. We aren't to the point where it can melt through tanks yet though, but think less 'heat ray' and more 'lazor beam!') My gun is more the heat ray.

Actually I wonder, someone math hammer a S6 AP1 melta gun (in melta range) taking out AV14.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256056/1011495.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256056/1011495.page GMT Re:Gun idea: Melta Template? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256056/1011941.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256056/1011941.page GMT
