I'm thinking of running a flamer heavy list in my Enclaves, just because I love the idea of an insane amount of flame templates...

So:
HQ:
Farsight
Commander - 2 x Missile pod, drone controller, target lock

Elite:
Riptide - IA, EWO, SMS
Riptide - HBC, ECPA, EWO, VT, SMS

Troops
Crisis Suits [1] - 6 x flamers, 2 x TLock, 1 x Vectored retro-thrusters
Crisis Suits [2] - 6 x flamers, 2 x TLock, 1 x Vectored retro-thrusters
Crisis Suits [3] - 6 x flamers, 2 x TLock, 1 x Vectored retro-thrusters
Crisis Suits [4] - 6 x flamers, 2 x TLock, 1 x Vectored retro-thrusters
Crisis Suits [5] - 6 x plasma rifle
Crisis Suits [6] - 6 x fusion blaster, 2 x TLock

Fast Attack
4 x Marker Drone
4 x Marker Drone

Heavy Support
3 x Broadsides - HYMP, SMS, 2 x TLock
3 x Missile drones

Total 1852

My reasoning for the flamers is just the sheer number of auto-hitting attacks that I think outweighs the burst cannon (i.e a burst cannon will average 2 hits each), plus I'm not looking to avoid being charged as I plan on bunching 2 units together to make use of supporting fire (12 x D3 auto hits.... pretty disgusting).

I'll be using the HBC tide for AA, whilst the 3 broadsides and missile drones spam a nice amount of str 5 and 7 for both AV and AI.

Commander will be used as Mark'o

Flamers will be using JSJ and tempting units into combat, then pummeling them with overwatch - then hit'n'run for more flamer fun.

Because of the flamers I'm not relying heavily on marker lights so think 2 x drone squadrons should be sufficient to support the broadsides and riptides.

PR and FB squads will be used for specialist roles, i.e. heavy infantry and AV. Farsight will be joining one of these (probably the FB squad for targeting nasty tanks)

Comments and critism welcome!

I am not a fan of target locks on broadsides I prefer EWO for some intercepting sms against chaff troops like win-bikes and kroot. also means the squad focuses on 1 target as broadsides are used as unit removers.

I think dropping the target locks would be a good move and would free up spare points to add a few more missile drones...

As for the broadsides I'm torn between target lock and EWO - mainly because it's fairly possible I'll delete a unit / tank with only 1 or 2 broadsides plus missile drones... I guess I could add EWO to 2 and target lock on the other then I get to target one at something I can potentially wipe with a single broadside. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584550/6628311.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584550/6628311.page GMT 1850 Farsight Flamer heavy list http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584550/6628393.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584550/6628393.page GMT 1850 Farsight Flamer heavy list
2 crisis suits 2 missilepod each with target locks 4 marker drones
2 suits 2 fusion blasters each
2 suits 2 fusion blasters each

this lets you drop a unit of drones and attach the commander to the missile pod team making him more survivable. also this means you have 2 units to take out AV13/14 tanks.

Blast weapons cannot fire overwatch. Flame templates get D3 auto hits for each flamer in the squad.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584550/6628417.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584550/6628417.page GMT 1850 Farsight Flamer heavy list http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584550/6628422.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584550/6628422.page GMT 1850 Farsight Flamer heavy list

not each flamer in the squad in this case each model can fire only 1 weapon on overwatch. so only 3D3 not 6D3


Apologies, forgot that part. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584550/6628436.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584550/6628436.page GMT Re:1850 Farsight Flamer heavy list FB group will be deepstriking 9 inches away from enemy tanks...

Even though I love the flamers I think it'd wouldn't be a bad idea to switch out 2 units of flamer suits for 2 x missile pod suits to sit at the back and stay out of trouble. And 12 str 7 shots from each isn't exactly shabby. Also, I think the expense of this squad + buff'mander would mean I lose a unit of cheaper, flamer crisis suits.
