MEQ not to venture to, preferrably with a small squad of Horrors or Flamers to pass wounds around. Torrent does give it pretty nice range even if you have to wait a whole turn. Could force squads to move to where you want them.

It's fairly cheap and you can take four of them but I'd probably just go with two at most.

Thinking of something like Be'lakor, 2 Exalted Flamers, Karanak, 3 squads of Hounds, 2 minimum squads of Flamers, 3 Troops of your choice, and the rest with something the list may be lacking.

Thoughts?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584981/6636087.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584981/6636087.page GMT Potential Uses for the Exalted Flamer?
How can you take 4 of either?

Also, how can the Exalted Flamer get off the chariot?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584981/6638317.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584981/6638317.page GMT Potential Uses for the Exalted Flamer? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584981/6638408.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584981/6638408.page GMT Potential Uses for the Exalted Flamer? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584981/6639104.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584981/6639104.page GMT Potential Uses for the Exalted Flamer?
No relentless or any useful things like that, but with how dirt cheap it is, I'm really thinking it'd be useful for board control.

It's actually insane the difference between him in 40k and Fantasy too because for only a little bit more points wise he's a lot more useful in Fantasy than he is in 40k.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584981/6640814.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584981/6640814.page GMT Potential Uses for the Exalted Flamer? hq slot?

Does the herald have IC?

How many guardsmen is he more or less than a regular tzeentch herald?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584981/6640872.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584981/6640872.page GMT Potential Uses for the Exalted Flamer?

Wait, why can't he join units? He has Independent Character in his special rules. He's an alright mini-heavy weapons team on his own with a lascannon I guess.

1/4, yes. He counts as a Herald. And a single Guardsman more than a barebones Tzerald.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584981/6641062.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584981/6641062.page GMT Potential Uses for the Exalted Flamer?
Torrent means the flamer has the same range as a regular flamer on a bike or jump infantry even though the model can't move and shoot.

The wall of death can easily cause a charge to fail.

It's really cheap S9 AP2 shots in an army that has lots of cheap access to divination.

With prescience 75% of shots hit and 25% of shots are precision shots.

The models are cheap and discourage people from going anywhere near a unit of pink horrors.

4 shots with prescience is actually decent ack ack for 100 points

2 of them in a unit would scare the piss out of a rapeknight or riptide, and the unit can be used to bully them away from portions of the board. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584981/6641649.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584981/6641649.page GMT Potential Uses for the Exalted Flamer?

Oh, you're right. It still doesn't make him useful though sadly. He's just too many point to sink into anything in 40k.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584981/6642032.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584981/6642032.page GMT Potential Uses for the Exalted Flamer?

2 of them cost the same as a tfc and go inside a unit of troops or detach if the troops want to move and leave them behind.

My white scars would not be happy seeing 2 of them on the board. GJB probably feel the same way. Don't underestimate 20.5" on a static torrent flamer.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584981/6642059.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/584981/6642059.page GMT
