Which Cataphractii loadout is better?

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

Ten Cataprachti terminators all with chainfists and two heavy flamers or all with chainfists and combibolters ?

I'd go with all combi bolters. Heavy flamers don't have enough range to make it worth it and Cata TDA is slow enough as it is.

My thoughts too. Cheaper and benefits from the Tactical Doctrine for 2 turns potentially.

 

If only there was a Strategum for extending flamer range etc.

 

If you had 8 coming out of a Land Raider Crusader then 2 Heavy Flamers would be good.

Ok all bolters 247 it is. Thanks guys. :)

I agree on this.  You'll also get more bang for your buck on "Fury of the First" and "Auspex Scan", for example (2 stratagems I've used multiple times recently)

I run 5 Cataphractii models a lot and I've never used the heavy flamer. They're slow so the only way to reliably get them anywhere is deep strike and unless you're running Long Range Marksmen the flamer is wasted. After that the best way to move them anywhere is to successfully charge. At most they're moving and advancing 7" whereas they can charge for much more. I try to find an objective I want and drop them on that. They can usually clear most chaff away and sit there for the rest of the game getting points and, if in cover, being hard to remove.

I’ve been using them over a year in my Ultramarines army and wrote a tactica here you might want to read.
