Snazzy Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I'm looking for suggestions on how to work more Heavy Flamers or Flamestorm Cannons into my army, and i'm not exactly current on Forgeworld in 8th ed. Also, anyone know the status of the Land Raider Ares in 8th edition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCE1981 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 You can take two Heavy Flamers on A unit of Sternguard, Dreadnoughts can replace their Storm bolter with a heavy flamer, ironclad dreadnoughts can take two. Try the Chaplain Dreadnought from forgeworld they have a big flamer type weapon, also from forgeworld you have siege dreadnoughts, and Leviathans. If you play blood angels or their successors tactical squads can take them as well as thier Baal Predators can take a lot of flame weapons. Invictor Warsuits have the Incindium cannon. Aggressors have a flamer option, I understand those aren’t heavy flamers but with a squad of three getting charged you will dish out 12d6 flamer attacks.

Snazzy Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 I am playing Codex Marines, so no Baal Predators, sadly. I am using double HF Ironclads already. That's actually where my interest in heavy flamers came from. What i need is Heavy weapons to pair with Legacy of Dorn. So, while Flamestorm Gauntlets are really good, they don't work for the purposes i need. Isn't there a Flamestorm Cannon turret for Predators?

CCE1981 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Ok, that helps a lot. So working on a burning Imperial Fists, gotcha. Flamestorm cannon only on the Baal Predator. From Imperial Armour: Adeptus Astartes Deimos Pattern Relic Predator has a heavy 2d6 flame turret and can take heavy flamer sponsons. Siege Dreadnoughts can take ip to 2x Heavy d6 Str 6 ap-1 2d flame weapons. Chaplain Dreadnought can take one of those plus a heavy flamer Relic Leviathan Dreadnought comes with 2x heavy flamers. Relic Contemptor Dreadnought can also have up to two Heavy Flamers Also Land Speeders from the Codex can take Heavy Flamers. Oh, the Land Raider Ares is in Chapter Approved 2017 where yhey had Vehicle design rules Edited February 7, 2020 by CCE1981 Snazzy 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Augustus Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 If you don't mind going index/legends the landspeeder storm can take a heavy flamer. Bonus! Its a dedicated transport so you can spam them with total disregard for rule of 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snazzy Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 Ok, that helps a lot. So working on a burning Imperial Fists, gotcha. Yeah, i'm finding some annoyance with units stacking hit penalties. I figure HFs and FSCs are a nice moderation, as i will likely be stuck in Devastator Doctrine, anyway. Oh, the Land Raider Ares is in Chapter Approved 2017 where yhey had Vehicle design rules Great to hear. The Ares seems like exactly what i am looking for.

CCE1981 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Look into Incursors, yeah their guns aren’t Heavy, but they are bolters, which would get the IF Chapter Tactic extra hit on a “6”. Also check out the Twin Accelerator Cannon on Relic Sicaran Battle Tanks, 48” - Assault 8 - S7 - AP -1, -3 on 6’s - D2, No penalty on the To Hit Roll against anything with FLY keyword.

Snazzy Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Well, i'm playing successors. I went back to CA2017 and found that the Land Raider variants therein are only for Open Play, which is likely for the best. Also, no Land Raider Ares. Alternatively, i am contemplating a Redemptor Dreadnought with a HF and Macro Plasma, or a Sternguard unit with HFs and TLHF Razorback out of the Index.

Cap'm Heckus Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Land raider Redeemer has 2 flamestorm cannons if it hasn’t been mentioned. It’s current and in the codex. Terminators can field one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The relic predator from forgeworld has the option to take the infernus cannon which is a heavy 2D6 flamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snazzy Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 To be honest, the recent changes in doctrine have made this thread moot. Thanks for the feedback, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
